UBS downgraded Sigma Designs (NASDAQ: SIGM) from Neutral to Sell with a price target of $5.00 (from $5.50).
Analyst, Steven Chin, said, "Downgrading for four reasons: 1) core IPTV sales have yet to recover and relies heavily on telco spending, 2) digital TV (DTV) consolidation between MediaTek and MStar could dampen growth expectations for Sigma’s recently acquired Trident DTV business, 3) cash burn remains a concern given low sales base and management’s reluctance to reduce operating costs, 4) activist shareholder battle for board seats takes management focus away from operations."
FY13 EPS estimate lowered from (1.63) to (1.67) and FY14 from (1.03) to (1.46).
