MKM Partners reiterates a 'Neutral' on Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) price target of $30.00 (from $27.00).

Analyst, Daniel Berenbaum, said, "MXIM’s strategy of trading gross margin for faster growth seems to be working, and we would argue that these offsets justify a multiple closer to Linear (Nasdaq: LLTC) and Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) versus its current discount (10% on consensus CY13 EPS, 15% on our estimates). We remain cautious on broadly-exposed semi names, but MXIM’s recent underperformance over concerns on Samsung smartphones (20% customer for MXIM) seems overblown – we prefer MXIM to other stocks in the HPA group."

"Our 1QFY13 revenue/pro-forma EPS are $620mn/$0.44 (cons. $621mn/$0.44); FY13E are $2.5bn/$1.79 (cons. $2.5bn/ $1.80); FY14E are $2.7bn/$2.01 (cons. $2.7bn/$2.08)."
