BMO Capital maintains a 'Market Perform' on Xyratex (NASDAQ: XRTX) price target of $12.00 (from $15.00).

Analyst, Keith Bachman, said, "XRTX attributed the weakness in Storage in the 2HFY12 to NTAP; however, we believe the softness is across XRTX's storage customers. For the May quarter, NetApp's (Nasdaq: NTAP) revenue contribution was ~$14 million higher than our estimate, while non-NTAP revenues were ~$17 million below our estimate. Although we are lowering our 2HFY12 revenue assumptions for NTAP, this is off a higher base in the May quarter. Further, we are also lowering our non-NTAP revenue estimates in the 2HFY12, compared with lower revenues in the May quarter."

Bachman cuts FY13 EPS estimate from $1.85 to $1.53.
