Cirrus Logic’s (CRUS) adjusted EPS jumped 51.4% to $0.53 year-on-year exceeding analysts’ estimates of $0.30. Moreover, revenues grew 1.8% to $242.6 million year-over-year and surpassed Street estimates of $225.6 million.

On June 22, Barclays analyst Blayne Curtis downgraded Cirrus Logic to Sell from Hold and lowered the price target to $60 (19.5% downside potential) down from $75. Curtis said he sees “downside to estimates given the likely loss of in-box earbuds this year and loss of its smart codec at Samsung.”
Overall, CRUS analysts have a cautiously optimistic Moderate Buy consensus on the stock. The average price target of $77.67 implies upside potential of 4.3%. (See CRUS stock analysis on TipRanks).
