Needham became “more cautious” on semiconductor stocks for 2015 and on Monday made several downgrades.

Bolton cut ratings on six stocks from Buy to Hold:

Cavium Inc (NASDAQ: CAVM)
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings (NASDAQ: MTSI)
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE: MXL)
RF Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: RFMD)
Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ: SWKS)
