What are Wall Street analysts saying about Silicon Motion stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Silicon Motion stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Silicon Motion supplies client SSD controller to module makers, including most market leaders in the U.S., Taiwan and China. The company expects the increase in the availability of 64 layer 3D NAND to bring down high NAND prices, which will eventually improve results.Moreover, an expanding customer base and innovative products act as tailwinds for the its top-line growth. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company’s Q1 earnings release. The company has mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. Acquisitions have supplemented the company's growth initiatives. However, the company faces macroeconomic risks like political, economic and social instability and certain industry-specific regulations in geographies where the company operates. Further, intensifying competition in the USB flash drive controller market remains a major headwind. Going forward, dip in smartphones sales will prove to be a drag on the revenues." (4/20/2018)
- 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "While SIMO came roughly in-line this quarter, the 4Q17 guide was light. We continue to believe that SIMO’s SSD business is set for a rebound in 4Q17 and throughout 2018 but note that the current high NAND pricing environment could slow its Client SSD ramp as the business is sensitive to NAND prices. Despite the short term headwinds we see a number of drivers in 4Q17 and beyond: market leader in Client SSDs – we expect growth of ~38% Y/Y in 2018 as next gen 3D NAND come online and PCIe NVMe opening up new opportunities, still early in the HDD-> SSD transition, and strong/stable relations with SK Hynix means low risk towards ~30% total market share in eMMC." (10/27/2017)
- 3. B. Riley analysts commented, "We nudge our estimates higher to better align with the company’s strong preliminary results relative to guidance. As such, we increase projected Q3 revenue and EPS from $125.5MM/$0.57 to $126.4MM/$0.58, and with some revenue and earnings follow through into Q4 and FY ‘18e and ‘19e as well." (10/25/2017)
