Next Inning's quarterly State of Tech reports are based on data

reports focuses on a specific tech sector. In addition to

balance sheets, forward valuations and performance versus consensus
expectations, Next Inning editor Paul
McWilliams provides price objectives and company-specific
outlooks for 2012 and beyond. The third of these reports,
covering digital semiconductor companies, is available today to

commentary and real-time trade alerts.
McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent
reports:
-- How is China important to
the AMD story? What has AMD done to give it better branding power
in China than it has in Western
countries? How does McWilliams expect AMD's new CEO to
leverage this power? How much upside does McWilliams'
estimated fair value range for AMD represent from current prices,
and what exit strategy would he recommend for current
investors?
-- Does McWilliams expect Micron to report better-than-expected
results? Is this view already reflected Micron's current stock
price? Are there reasons to stay cautious on Micron? Given
current memory supply and demand trends, are investors better off
looking at rival SanDisk?
-- What sets NAND Flash memory apart from other memory types,
and does this suggest that NAND specialist SanDisk will not be as
susceptible to the profitability swings that have weighed on other
memory manufacturers? Could SanDisk move above $60 in the near term? If it does, will
McWilliams suggest investors sell the stock as he did the last time
it crested above $60 in 2006?
-- McWilliams predicted in summer 2010 that Atmel would double
and trade above $10 by year
end. As Atmel's price surged well above that mark to what
McWilliams believed was a fair valuation, he suggested hedging long
positions with covered calls. Those short call contracts
expired worthless and allowed investors who followed McWilliams'
lead to pocket nice profits. Does McWilliams think Atmel is once
again poised for another run higher? What is his current view of a
fair value price?
-- Has Cypress returned to a leading position in touch screen
controller technology after falling behind Atmel in 2010? What is
the "red flag" that investors in Cypress need to be aware of?
What is McWilliams' fair value range for the stock and how much
upside does it represent? If we leveled the fundamental
playing field with Atmel, how would Cypress' earnings stack up?
