Canaccord Genuity maintained a Buy rating on Atmel (NASDAQ: ATML) but trimmed its price target to $7.00 (from $8.00).

Commenting on Atmel's quarterly results, analyst Bobby Burleson said "While guidance is below the consensus view for Q4, we note that the outlook excludes recently divested serial EEPROM ($12m in Q3). Further, Atmel's MCU business is performing better than expectations for both core MCU and touch controllers."

He thinks strong ramps for key tablet wins including Surface and Kindle Fire HD, and a looming end to a take or pay European foundry agreement bode well for the Atmel.
