Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on M/A-COM Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: MTSI) price target of $21.00 (from $25.00).

Analyst, Mark Lipacis, said, "MTSI missed JunQ EPS by $0.05 due to weaker A&D and guided SepQ 14% below consensus due to a weaker than expected ramp of networking products. We cut our CY13 EPS by $0.42 and price target by $4, but remain buyers given: 1) better YY revenue performance relative to competitors, 2) robust new product pipeline of higher-margin products should translate to higher growth and gross margin expansion of 800 bps through EOCY13."

FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $1.02 to $0.89 and FY13 from $1.36 to $1.05.
