Alpha & Omega Semiconductor Limited (NASDAQ:AOSL) makes power semiconductor products. On February 6, Benchmark raised the firm’s price target on the stock to $42 from $40 and kept a “Buy” rating on the shares. The analyst told investors that fiscal Q2 results were better than expected, but the June quarter revenue outlook is about 2% lower than analyst expectations. The gross profit margin is also driving a miss on the bottom line.
