• 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We expect management to echo previous comments regarding a lack of visibility as it pertains to a China telco recovery ." (8/4/2017)
• 3. 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)
• 4. 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)
• 5. 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."
