Canaccord Genuity Reiterates a 'Buy' on Atmel (ATML); Decent Growth ex-European Impact of ASIC

Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Atmel (NASDAQ: ATML) price target of $8.00 (from $13.00).

Analyst, Bobby Burleson, said, "Reiterate BUY despite flat outlook versus 8% Q/Q consensus expectations, as touch resumes Q/Q growth through back half. "Decent growth" would have emerged if it wasn't for European impact on ASIC business. We believe our $8 target is supported by valuation, while sentiment should improve on looming compute-centric product cycle with Win 8 (Nasdaq: MSFT) launch. Opex controls may offer additional leverage."
