Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Microsemi Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Microsemi Corporation is an OEM of a broad range of high-reliability and analog/mixed signal integrated circuits. Over the last one year, the stock has outperformed the Zacks characterised Semi-Analog and Mixed industry. The fiscal first-quarter earnings of the company were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues exceeded the same. The company’s focus on improving product mix, operational efficiency, and consolidation are driving revenues and margins through 2017.  Moreover, we have confidence in the company’s strategic positioning, strong fundamentals and growth prospects. Microsemi’s scope for margin expansion and decent balance sheet are the other positives. However, pockets of weakness related to product transition at medical customers, push-out of some communications spending in China and a softer oil & gas market continue to impact revenues. Also, heavy investment in R&D could impact near-term profitability." (3/28/2017)
• 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We hosted a day of investor meetings in New York for Steve Litchfield, Chief Strategy Officer, and Rob Adams, SVP of Corporate Development, of Microsemi. The meetings highlighted the numerous drivers of the company’s organic growth target of 6-8%. Storage, optical/OTN and commercial air are among MSCC’s highest growth opportunities. Satellite, the company’s highest GM business, remains another key driver as this business looks poised to reach record levels in FY17. Defense spending has already started to trend positively and will receive a boost from increasing foreign military sales in 2017 with increasing U.S. DoD budgets expected to drive FY18 and FY19 sales. We believe management appears confident of its outlook for FY17." (2/9/2017)

MSCC noting continuing strength with Aerospace and Defense, 100G rollout in Communications, and Data Center strength. Raising our estimates, reiterating our Buy, and raising our PT to $62. A strong product portfolio, with OM of 33-34% and strong FCF position MSCC well." (1/27/2017)
