Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis trimmed estimates and his price target Analog Devices (NASDAQ: ADI) to $61.00 (from $64.00) while maintaining a Buy rating following Q3 results.
Lipacis comments, "ADI's JulQ EPS (ex-HITT) and OctQ outlook (incl-HITT) were in line with Street expectations. ADI's outlook for stable growth and seasonal trends match our current view on the cycle (link: What Semis Did on their Summer Vacation - Summer 2014 Highlights). We like ADI's ability to fund domestic acquisitions (HITT) using offshore cash; the 80% of FCF Capital Return target; and, high auto, comms, and industrial exposure in the late innings of the cycle."
The firm lowered FY 2014 EPS from $2.40 to $2.38 and FY 2015 EPS from $2.84 to $2.78.
