SunTrust analyst William Stein upgraded Microchip (MCHP) to Buy from Hold and raised his price target to $108 from $97 after the company's bid for Microsemi (MSCC). Stein believes that the acquisition will be "significantly accretive", topping the managements outlook based on its cross-selling opportunities. The analyst also expects the regulatory approval process that spans 6 countries to be "relatively straightforward" since the companies have little product overlap.
