Next Inning Technology Research Updates Outlooks for Zoran, Analog
Devices, National Semiconductor and Fairchild Semiconductor
PRINCETON, N.J., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology
Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), a subscription service
focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced today
that it has provided to members updated analysis of worldwide
February semiconductor sales, including updated coverage of Zoran
(NASDAQ:ZRAN), National Semiconductor (NYSE:NSM), Analog Devices
(NYSE:ADI) and Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE:FCS). "Actual, not
three-month rolling average ("TMRA"), February sales came in at
$17.3B, down very modestly from the adjusted $17.4B reported for
January. However, since February sales were significantly below the
$18.4B reported for November, the TMRA dropped sequentially by 2.0%
and the six-month rolling average declined by 0.3%," Next Inning
Editor Paul McWilliams told members. "Prior to the seasonal pattern
change brought about by high consumer content, we would have been
concerned seeing both the three- and six-month rolling averages
decline in February," McWilliams continued. "However, when we take
these situations into consideration, we do not see this as
disturbing." McWilliams' analysis looked at the following topics,
among others: -- What field contacts are saying about sales in the
Discrete category and what this means for Fairchild Semiconductor.
-- Why National Semiconductor could outperform the sector. -- Why
he believes Zoran may also be on pace for a solid quarter. -- Why
he has concerns about Analog Devices' first quarter. To read Next
