In a reearch note to clients, the firm wrote, “The stock is down 40% since July 2010, following four successive disappointments in earnings or guidance. At 25x 2011 earnings, valuation is nearly twice the market multiple, but we forecast only 4% EPS growth in 2011 and –5% in 2012. We believe lower ASPs, lower gross margins, and lower market share will offset strong industry volume growth in LED lighting. We are lowering our F2012 estimate by 29% and are 17% below consensus.”
