Oppenheimer analyst Andrew Uerkwitz maintained a Hold rating on Synaptics Inc (SYNA) today. The company’s shares opened today at $35.30, close to its 52-week low of $34.66.
Uerkwitz said:
“Synaptics reported F1Q19 results in line with guidance and better than Street estimates. Results were buoyed by seasonal strength in its DDIC business and favorable product mix. Due to weakness in consumer electronics, management expects a temporary Y/Y decline of IoT business in F3Q18. As a result, it refrained from reiterating its FY19 revenue guidance of low single-digit growth. We believe SYNA will need more time to work through DDIC supply chain capacity constraints and wait for Chinese mobile OLED display ramping. The company is well positioned to return to growth in the mid-term; however, temporary uncertainties regarding customer production capability and supply chain constraints keep us on the sideline.”
