PRINCETON, N.J., May 4, 2011  /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has updated outlooks for ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), O2Micro (Nasdaq: OIIM), Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP), QLogic (Nasdaq: QLGC), and Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU).  

Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams has leveraged a decades-long career as a semiconductor industry insider to deliver in-depth insights and winning stock selections for his newsletter subscribers.  McWilliams' Next Inning model portfolio has posted huge gains, returning 335% since its inception in 2002, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011.  

Despite predictions from dozens of Wall Street analysts and tech sector research firms, McWilliams was the only one to forecast Intel's earnings report correctly, with estimates that matched the chip giant's Q1 results and Q2 guidance perfectly.  Along with McWilliams' Intel forecast and his bullish calls ahead of strong earnings by Apple and Qualcomm, Next Inning subscribers have access to dozens more as McWilliams publishes in depth earnings previews and coverage throughout earnings season.  There are still a number of potential tech earnings winners to be covered this quarter.

Trial subscribers will also receive McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech series, offering in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies.  The full set of State of Tech reports will be published ahead of earnings season, offering specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- What is McWilliams' view of ON Semi's two acquisitions from Q1?  Is ON Semi well equipped to fend off emerging competitive threats from Texas Instruments?  Does McWilliams expect that ON Semi shares could surge by 50% over the next year?

-- Is O2Micro well positioned in a variety of key markets or is it just another one-trick pony?  Does McWilliams expect O2Micro to outperform Wall Street's 2011 outlook?  Does the upside potential for O2Micro outweigh the potential risks?

-- Why has Microchip's 2009 acquisition of Silicon Storage Technology, which was widely misunderstood by Wall Street, actually been a huge boon for the firm?  Is Wall Street still not understanding the Microchip story and, as a result, underestimating Microchip's potential earnings power?

-- Do new trends in motherboard designs suggest QLogic is poised to face new competition?  Does McWilliams believe QLogic shares are undervalued at current prices?

-- What trends may work in Alcatel-Lucent's favor going forward?  Does McWilliams view Alcatel-Lucent as an attractive investment at current prices or would he suggest that buyers hold out for a pullback in the stock?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 335% since its inception versus 50% for the S&P 500.
