Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Cree (NASDAQ: CREE) price target raised from $27 to $32.

ANalyst, Y. Edwin Mok. said, "We believe LED sector fundamentals have bottomed as BLU demand rebounded, utilization rates improved and price declines eased. We believe CREE stands to benefit from these trend improvements, and we anticipate growing optimism in the out years as wide adoption of LED for general lighting accelerates. While the stock has had strong moves YTD, we see more upside as positive datapoints should translate into higher estimates and multiples."

(Raises FY13 EPS estimate from $1.27 to $1.32)
