Needham & Company reiterates a 'Hold' on Pulse Electronics (NYSE: PULS).
Analyst, Sean K.F. Hannan, said, "PULS continues the process of laying the groundwork for a potential turn-around in 2012, which now presents more hurdles. On the positive side, costs continue to come out of the model and should create a platform for healthy leverage as new handset customers ramp (and presumably inefficiencies are addressed). However, headwinds of slower broader demand in Power (dn 23% q/q from 3Q) and Network may provide an untimely offset. Furthermore, now management is having to sell additional “non-strategic” products after breaking covenants and to de-lever the balance sheet and avoid potential share dilution. Consequently, until a tangible positive outlook materializes that would support a more favorable forecast, we reiterate our rating."
FY12 EPS estimate cut from $0.25 to $0.14.
