- 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Revenue disappoints; but inventory and rising backlog indicate manufacturing, not demand was the issue. S&M decline is a concern, which leads us to reducing our Dec Q and CY19 estimates. Given our deep dive on optical train R&D roadmap, we continue to believe VUZI waveguide can become the de factor optical train technology, thus we are maintaining our long-term estimates for a 12-month price target of $11 and Buy Rating."
