RESEARCH ALERT-Vitesse, Lattice targets raised

NEW YORK, April 18 (Reuters) - Prudential Securities analyst Hans Mosesmann raised his price targets on Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:VTSS) and Lattice Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:LSCC) on Tuesday.

-- boosted price target on Vitesse to $130 from $125.

-- said "we strongly disagree" with ratings downgrade of Vitesse by "one of our competitors."

-- competitor was not named, but Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Charlie Glavin had cut rating to buy from strong buy.

He cited lower revenue estimates from automatic test equipment (ATE) and higher share count from Orologic acquisition.

-- "We strongly disagree with this assessment: while ATE represents 12 percent of revenues, this is not a strategic business area and this business is not the reason that we would be buying the stock."

-- kept strong buy rating.


-- Lattice price target raised to $108 from $100.

-- "We are raising our EPS estimates for FY00 from $2.01 to $2.18 and for FY01 from $2.50 to $2.70."
