CRUS – Given management’s confidence in microphone shipments, product development, and margins, bearish market expectations are unwarranted, and upside is likely

• Specifically, management is confident in the progress of their microphone shipments and voice biometric security standards enhancement. Moreover, they are confident in the potential of their new Android product development activities, and in their ability to enter businesses that maintain their gross margins.
