In a report Stern Agee writes, "We believe combined with strength in key industrial automation and communication markets, along with exposure to leading consumer players such as Apple (NASDAQ:
AAPL
), ADI should continue to provide upside.We are initiating with a Neutral near-term, as most of the semiconductor stocks have had a good rebound from late August given improving sentiment that C4Q may not as bad as anticipated and the stocks are now trading back at their 2009 highs."
