What are Wall Street analysts saying about Silicon Motion Technology stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Silicon Motion Technology stock:
- 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We maintain our Buy and $60 PT . SIMO issued 3Q revenue guidance below the Street as a large Chinese hypersacaler pushed out an order for Shannon Systems to 4Q. This is a multi-quarter program so we expect the associated revenue with that project to be shifted into 4Q and carry into early 2019. We don’t believe the project size has changed. Separately, NAND pricing has fallen meaningfully leading to a reacceleration in client SSD attach rates and as a result, SIMO has increased its SSD forecast to at least 30% Y/Y growth vs. 20%. With $10 net cash and nearly $4 EPS next year, we are buyers on weakness." (8/1/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Silicon Motion faces macroeconomic risks like political, economic and social instability and certain industry-specific regulations in geographies where the company operates. Moreover, intensifying competition in the USB flash drive controller market remains a major headwind. Markedly, the company has a mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company’s Q2 earnings release. Going forward, dip in smartphones sales might prove to be a drag on the revenues. Nonetheless, the company expects the increase in the availability of 64 layer 3D NAND to bring down high NAND prices, which will eventually improve results. Further, acquisitions have supplemented the company's growth initiatives. Rebuilt inventory from company’s NAND flash partners bolstered eMMC controller sales also remains a positive." (7/31/2018)
