** Shares of Semtech SMTC.O down 3.5% at $67.50 after CFO warns margin gains will be modest as IoT mix weighs following a modest sales beat

** Co posts Q3 net sales of $267 mln vs $266.41 mln estimate

** "We expect net sales from the high-end consumer market to be down, reflective of typical seasonality," CFO Mark Lin says on earnings call

** Estimates Q4 revenue $268 mln-$278 mln vs Street estimate of $271.1 mln

** "We did get a little bit of a tailwind from the CopperEdge shipments this quarter, but as other portions of our business inflect upward, there’s a little bit lower margin in IoT, our systems hardware business," CFO Mark Lin says

** SMTC stock up 13.2% YTD, as of last close
