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.
