Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Sanmina-SCI Corp. (NASDAQ: SANM) price target lowered $1 to $13.

Analyst, Sean K.F. Hannan, said, "We are not overwhelmingly concerned by SANM’s 2nd consecutive quarter of disappointing guidance as we believe the business has already troughed and appears poised for improvement. While management may point to more encouraging 2HC12 customer forecasts, we also focus investors on the fact that Communications (~45% of biz) sat through a period of slight volatility and plenty of OEM pause that shouldn’t continue unless the market has larger fundamental problems (not a view we presently hold)...With the potential for either slight return of spending in organic markets or new program launches across all segments, we expect 2HC12 to exhibit annual improvement."

"Lowering estimates. F3Q12 now $1.50B in revs. & $0.27. vs, prior $1.58B & $0.37. F12 now $6.04B & $1.18, vs. prior $6.23B & $1.36."
