Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Standard Microsystems (NASDAQ: SMSC) price target lowered to $25 (from $33).

Canaccord analyst, Bobby Burleson, said, "SMSC offered weak guidance last night, driven by soft demand for industrial and PC, neither of which should be a surprise considering the character of recent pre-announcements. While we are lowering our estimates and price target to reflect a challenging macro environment, we reiterate a BUY rating on the strong auto product cycle, as broad MOST adoption drives double-digit Q/Q growth with increasing mainstream vehicle deployments."

"Guidance for Q4/C11 (Nov.) calls for revenues of $105M to $110M and EPS of
$0.30 to $0.37. This compares to consensus of $116.4M and $0.44 and our $121M and $0.50. The revenue guidance downside is driven by anticipated weakness in industrial and PC sales."
