Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Xilinx stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Although Xilinx’s Q1 revenues missed our estimate but year over year improvement was impressive. Going ahead, we believe that rising demand for 28-nm, 20-nm and 16-nm nodes is positive for the company. Moreover, favorable product mix (higher Industrial, lower wireless) will help in gross margin expansion in the forthcoming quarters. We believe that Xilinx is well positioned to tap the opportunities arising from an increase in adoption of AI technologies, 5G connectivity, autonomous vehicles and IoTs, which will drive growth over the long-run. The company’s product launches should further aid revenues. However, growth from wireless is expected to remain volatile until 2020, which is a concern. Increasing operating expenses related to tape-outs will weigh on profitability in the near term. Moreover, management’s pessimistic view over business conditions in India and China, two of its fastest growing markets, poses strong headwinds." (8/1/2017)
• 2. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We expect to Xilinx to report June quarter sales and EPS of $615 million (up 0.9% q/q) and $0.60 respectively which are also consensus. Outlook we ex- pect for the September quarter we view as flat-to-down in terms of sales which is seasonal off of stable communications business and continued positive trends in the company’s Advanced Products which are gaining share in the broader FPGA market segments in our opinion." (7/26/2017)
• 3. Credit Suisse Group analysts commented, "We hosted several institutional investor meetings with PAYC CEO Chad Richison and CFO Craig Boelte, which reinforced our positive view on its business momentum and gave us increased confidence that the company will meet, or exceed, its 2017 financial targets." (5/24/2017)
• 4. Mizuho analysts commented, "We believe that XLNX is also buying back its converts through the SepQ, offsetting potential dilution, while having ~ $680M repurchase outstanding. Maintaining our Neutral and $64PT, ~26x F18E EPS." (4/27/2017)
