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

• 1. 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)
• 2. 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)
• 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Keeping its earnings streak alive for the 12th successive quarter, Xilinx reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both counts. Also, the company’s top and bottom lines both increased year over year. Its revenue guidance for the fiscal first quarter is also impressive. Shares of Xilinx outperformed the broader market over the last one year. Rising demand for 28-nm, 20-nm and 16-nm nodes, driven by higher wireless deployments and strength in the wired communication segment, are expected to remain growth drivers. Further, we are optimistic about the company’s recent decision to tap the fast-growing cloud computing, embedded, industrial IoT, and 5G markets which are likely to boost its revenues in the long-run. The company’s product launches should further aid revenues. However, stiff competition from peers is a material headwind." (5/1/2017)
• 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)
• 5. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "XLNX's DecQ sales/EPS were above consensus on Wireless Comms growth (China/India 4G, pre-5G). Its MarQ outlook is slightly below consensus on sales and implied EPS is in line. R&D growth is expected to moderate in F18. XLNX has executed well and is taking FPGA share, and has some exciting data center acceleration opportunities--but we think it is fairly valued and remain Hold rated." (1/26/2017)
