CEVA: Sticking With The Prior Outlook Despite Being Behind Schedule
Summary CEVA had a disappointing Q1, but it partially negated the fallout by sticking with its prior outlook for the rest of the year. CEVA stock came close to falling below support after a disappointing report, but it recovered in time, although a breakdown remains a possibility. China played a role in the drop in sales and there is reason to believe the likelihood of further weakness should not be dismissed. CEVA could multiply in value if it achieves the targets laid out, but it will need to catch up and do better to hit those targets. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaAnalysis Article • Apr 17
