Cadence Design in a Mess - Analyst Blog

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:08:00 GMT

Cadence Design Systems Inc. (CDNS) appears to be in big trouble as the company's CEO resigned unexpectedly amid mounting financial problems and disappointing results. Adding to the upheaval, the company delayed its Q308 earnings results, expected to be released on October 22nd, on improper accounting issues related to contract revenues signed during Q1. Cadence has been losing share to Synopsys and is struggling through a downturn in the semiconductor cycle. The company also withdrew its bid for Mentor Graphics, further dimming its growth prospects. Shares of Cadence are currently trading near its 52-week low price. Although the stock has fallen significantly this year, we believe it will fall farther given CDNS poor outlook. We therefore believe that the stock should trade at a discount to its peer group. More challenging economic[More...]

Barron's Summary (BRKA too pricey;ADY to sink further; LCAV; BTU)

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:55:27 GMT

Barron’s cover discusses Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA), saying the stock is too pricey. The Class A shares have surged 30% since Aug. The rally reflects the co's haven status; it's dodged the mortgage and credit problems. The Street’s enthusiasm for Berkshire, however, might be excessive. Its stock now appears overpriced, reflecting a sizable premium for the skills of the 77yr-old Buffett. Our est, based on several valuation measures, is around $130K a share, about 10% below the current quote. Credit Suisse's Charles Gates values it even more conservatively. He carries a 12-mo price tgt of $125K and rates the stock Neutral. "We consider the stock fully priced," he wrote in a client note. Gates cited the ages of Buffett and his long-time Berkshire partner, Charlie Munger. Gates also noted the "lack of clear mgmt succession" at the co. Edward Jones analyst Tom Kersting recently cut his B[More...]
