RBC Capital analyst Mitch Steves downgraded Lam Research to Sector Perform from Outperform and lowered his price target to $210 from $245, saying the next twelve month period will likely see a muted stock price movement. The analyst notes that after an increase in NAND WFE market from $6.8B in 2013 to $16B today, he would "not be surprised" to see a decrease in the industry's total capital spending, adding that estimate revisions for Lam Research will likely trend down. Longer term, Steves still expects total spending to ramp higher.
