"Financial market expectations have crept so high that SiRF could deliver a solid year of growth in 2006 and the stock could return less than the average semiconductor stock in our universe," said Morgan Stanley analyst Louis P. Gerhardy in a note to clients, downgrading the company's stock to "Underweight" from "Equal-weight."

The analyst said he sees the San Jose, Calif., company shifting gears this year as it prepares for "attractive growth opportunities" in 2007 and beyond. While the company is boosting its technology investments in 2006, Gerhardy said he doesn't see these beginning to pay off until next year.

As a result, the analyst said he sees the company's revenue and earnings growth slowing in 2006 before possibly reaccelerating in 2007.

The analyst said while he is not forecasting a "bad year" for the company, its "significant positive surprises" delivered in the second and third quarters of 2005 "have been extrapolated too aggressively by investors."
