Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on ADTRAN (NASDAQ: ADTN), PT lowered from $47 to $44.
Needham analyst says, "Despite a very strong performance from its Broadband Access group and a solid performance from Optical Access, ADTN shares were haircut by 10% as weaker than expected Internetworking, HDSL and gross margins conspired to create a somewhat cloudier outlook for ADTN’s earnings growth prospects even as near-term estimates were increased. That said, given the correction in the shares and the still healthy outlook for ADTN’s growth products, we maintain our rating while trimming our PT to $44, as we apply a lower 15x multiple (was 17x) to our cash-adjusted 2012 NG EPS to account for the somewhat moderated EPS growth outlook."
