- 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We think some of weakness is due to a pause ahead of WiFi 6 product launches. Our street low estimates are unchanged. The Company also named a permanent CEO replacing the interim CEO. Maintain our OP and our $17 PT." (8/9/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Silicon Motion is a developer of microcontroller ICs for NAND flash storage devices and specialty RF ICs for mobile devices. We believe improving supply of 64-layer 3D NAND which is bringing down high NAND prices, aided Silicon Motion’s results. Moreover, robust adoption of Ferri industrial SSDs was positive. Notably, as the company’s Open-Channel NVMe SSD controller enters into production, Client SSD Controller sales are anticipated to increase. Furthermore, company’s efforts to reward shareholders through share buybacks and dividend payments hold promise. However, the company provided tepid first quarter guidance. Further, intensifying competition in the USB flash drive controller market remains a headwind. Going forward, dip in smartphones sales might prove to be a drag on revenues. Sluggishness in Client SSD controllers owing to vigilant procurement of NAND flash solutions from module makers is a concern." (4/2/2019)
