09:04 ET TXCC TranSwitch downgraded at CIBC (2.48)
CIBC downgrades to BUY from Strong Buy due to the belief that revenue at service provider-driven Comm IC co's will not return to the rate of end-user consumption until mid-2003 and that the long-term growth rate for communication ASSP providers is at most 15-20%. Cuts 2002 rev/EPS ests to $21.5 mln/($0.40) from $31.4 mln/($0.35) and 2003 rev est to $41.0 mln from $78.0 mln; cuts price target to $3.25 from $7.00.

[Harry: Not much of a downside reaction. The cash level is giving it support. The assertion in the analyst report assumes that all inventory in the channel has been used. I am not sure the company has said this. As a result, short term the grow rate he is referring to (15 percent) is too low.]

08:48 ET CNXT Conexant started at Strong Buy by SoundView (10.87)
Hearing from sources that SoundView initiated coverage of CNXT with a STRONG BUY and $16 target; says channel checks suggest upside to the March qtr, and believes company is already 100% booked for June qtr against internal plan; says upcoming spin-off of wireless division (will be merged with AHAA) will be a catalyst.

[Harry: CNXT is KOPN biggest customer. If true that means KOPN should have a good Q, despite the AHAA miss pre-announced.]
