What are Wall Street analysts saying about Cypress Semiconductor stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cypress Semiconductor stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cypress is suffering from weak performance of its NAND business. The company is currently facing pricing erosion which is affecting negatively this business of the company. Further, intensifying competition in the semiconductor industry poses serious threat of pricing pressure which might hurt its profitability. Nevertheless, Cypress remains optimistic on the proper execution of management’s strategy of embedded solutions for consumer, automotive and industrial customers of all sizes. Further, strong performing microcontrollers and connectivity portfolio of the company will continue to aid the top-line growth. Notably, shares of the company have outperformed the industry it belongs to over a year. However, the current trade tensions between the United States and China causing the tariffs to rise pose a serious threat to the company’s growth in the near terms." (1/16/2019)
2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We reiterate our Buy and $23 PT following another beat and raise qrt. Wireless IoT is on track to grow 16-18% Y/Y as auto increasingly accounts for a larger portion of the business and CY expands its platforms to new products. As we thought, CY raised its NOR flash forecast to grow high-single digits driven by the 4.5G/5G transition and long-term demand for automotive grade NOR flash. Recall that this segment was supposed to decline at a 3-5% CAGR. Gross margin expansion remains on track and we see a higher margin profile in ’19 driven primarily by favorable mix shift. With product cycles like USB-C ramping, new PSoC roll-out and healthy overall demand environment, we think CY will outperform the group in 2H18." (7/27/2018)
