Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cavium stock:

• 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "CAVM posted its fourth consecutive beat-and-raise quarter with strength across all areas of its business. The core embedded business remains strong and positive contributions from the recently acquired QLogic may result in that business exceeding management’s initial 8% initial growth target for 2017." (4/27/2017)
• 2. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "CAVM's business is continuing to accelerate in 2017 across the core Octeon business, new products, and QLGC. QLGC is seeing share gains both within its existing customer base (HP/Dell) and new cloud customers (such as AMZN) and likely exceeds our estimates this year. Within CAVM's new products, Fusion-M is already at a double-digit run rate with the new "baby" M (500-1K users) and 5G expanding the TAM in 2018+. Thunder has taken longer but we see opportunities for wins with the new T2 portfolio (expected in Q2 and includes Vulcan at high-end) that can add incremental revenue vs. low ARM server expectations. Octeon III continues to roll out driving 10%+ core growth. Net net, still a show me growth story but they are starting to do just that. PT to $80." (3/6/2017)
• 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cavium, Inc. is engaged in providing semiconductor processors that enable networking, communications, storage, video and security applications. The Company offers software compatible processors with functionality in enterprise, data-center, broadband/consumer and access and service provider equipment. Its processors are supported by ecosystem partners that provide operating systems, tools and application support, hardware reference designs and other services. Cavium, Inc., formerly known as Cavium Networks, Inc., is headquartered in Mountain View, California. " (2/17/2017)
• 4. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "CAVM beat and raised again, with a full quarter of QLGC and progress in new products (notably Fusion-M and XPliant). We are encouraged by the progress and visibility into product cycles but remain on the sidelines as we believe multiple expansion will be challenging given the B/S leverage, the acquisition of lower-growth QLGC, and high SBC." (2/2/2017)
• 5. Pacific Crest analysts commented, "We are increasing our 2017 EPS estimate by $0.73 to $2.60. While we believe Cavium likely has significant opportunities to extract significant cost synergies from QLogic, we remain concerned that this acquisition was likely reactive." (8/17/2016)
