Monday, May 6, 1:32 PM Analog Devices (ADI +1.9%) has named President Vincent Roche its full-time CEO and appointed him to the board; Roche was named interim CEO in late March following the death of Jerry Fishman. Separately, JPMorgan's Christpher Danely is hosting a CC called "The Analog Devices Manifesto," in which he touts the chipmaker's valuations (16x 2014E EPS) and operating leverage. (PR) Comment!

Apple suppliers Broadcom (BRCM -4%), Avago (AVGO -5.5%), STMicroelectronics (STM -6.7%), NXP (NXPI -7%), RF Micro (RFMD -2.8%), and OmniVision (OVTI -3.3%) are among the casualties, but they're far from alone.

Monday, January 14, 1:48 PM Analog chipmaker/Samsung supplier Maxim (MXIM -2.5%) is off following a downgrade to Neutral from Credit Suisse: the firm says it expects "a significant deceleration" in the mobile phone market (36% of Maxim's sales and a major growth driver) going forward, though it thinks healthy industrial/telecom equipment exposure will buffer the blow. Analog Devices (ADI +0.1%) and Xilinx (XLNX) have been upgraded to Outperform (I, II), but neither is moving much - in each case, CS likes the chipmaker's industrial/telecom infrastructure exposure.

Thursday, December 13, 2012, 2:13 PM International Rectifier (IRF -4.3%) is off after receiving a downgrade to Sell from Goldman's James Schneider, who expects shares to underperform during the first stages of a chip industry recovery. Pricing and margin pressure for discrete analog chips, high inventories, and sub-par execution are all cited. Meanwhile, fellow analog names Linear Tech (LLTC -2.9%) and Analog Devices (ADI -1.5%) are slightly underperforming after respectively catching downgrades to Sell and Neutral from Citi. 2 Comments [Tech]

Tuesday, November 27, 2012, 4:37 PM More on Analog Devices: FQ1 guidance is for a 6%-12% Q/Q revenue drop, below a consensus for a 2% decline. Orders fell during FQ4 due to inventory adjustments (an ongoing problem for many chipmakers), and this has driven ADI to slash production. That, in turn, is a reason gross margin fell 180 bps Q/Q to 63.8%, and is expected to fall to 62% in FQ1. Industrial and automotive sales fell both Q/Q and Y/Y, consumer +28% Q/Q (boosted by seasonality) but -6% Y/Y. ADI -3.2% AH. TXN -0.5%. CC at 5PM ET (webcast). (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]

Monday, October 8, 2012, 12:59 PM ISI's Sumit Dhanda downgrades his rating for the chip industry to Neutral, while also downgrading analog chipmakers Texas Instruments (TXN -0.5%), Linear Tech (LLTC -0.7%), Analog Devices (ADI -0.7%), Power Integrations (POWI -3.5%), and Intersil (ISIL -7.3%) in particular. Dhanda, whose move follows a selloff in chip stocks thanks to negative data (I, II), thinks macro issues could lead industry sales to fall 2% in 2013. JPMorgan has also downgraded Intersil, citing PC weakness, share loss, and a possible dividend cut. (previous) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
