Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) price target raised from $36 to $40.

Analyst, C.J. Muse, said, "On a positive note, January Q marks a trough for ADI and the company raised its dividend by 20% highlighting the company's excellent variable cost model. On the negative side, April Q guide was slightly below consensus raising questions as to what the rate of recovery will look like. We continue to model only a gradual recovery, suggesting limited upside form here."

"We now model April Q $665M/$0.51 (cons $684M/$0.54), CY12 $2.9B/$2.45 (cons $2.8B/$2.37) and CY13 $3.1B/$2.80 (cons $3.1B/$2.78)."

Several other firms made comments today including: 1) Canaccord Genuity reiterating a 'Buy'; 2) Nomura Securities cutting estimates, but maintaining a 'Neutral', and 3) Jefferies - lowering estimates, but maintaining a 'Hold'.
