Semtech is a semiconductor turnaround battered by stock option skandal in 2006/07 which is resolved followed by a board of director and management restructuring. Manufactures and sells the "black magic" of Analog semiconductors yielding good margins.
High R&D investments, solid new products out and coming out should gain big traction by End 2008.
Q3 next month should be a record quarter too with higher EPS than Q2 or as I guesstimate , above target.
250M$ in size working in a >>7Bn market there is much room to grow and reach $1bn, especially in the faster growing power management semiconductor market.
