NI Technology Research Updates Outlooks for InvenSense, NXP Semiconductors, MIPS Technologies, Acacia Research, and OmniVision Technologies

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks on InvenSense (NYSE: INVN), NXP Semiconductors (Nasdaq: NXPI), MIPS Technologies (Nasdaq: MIPS), Acacia Research (Nasdaq: ACTG), and OmniVision Technologies (Nasdaq: OVTI).

Next Inning readers leverage the insight you can only get from an industry insider.  Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams was a tech industry executive for more than two decades.  Not only does he know how things work from the inside and how to spot a winning business model, he also has a long and successful record of picking winning stocks.  Year to date in 2012 these picks have driven a 24% gain for the Next Inning Model Portfolio. Since its inception in 2002, the model portfolio is up over 300%.

It's a technology little-known outside high-tech labs and yet it offers the critical functions to power blockbuster consumer applications like Nintendo's Wii remote and Apple's iPhone and iPad microphones. Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is a technology likely to see its huge growth continue, as next-generation entertainment systems and remote controls take advantage of this cutting-edge technology. McWilliams' latest report dissects the MEMS market from every angle, looking at recent "hot" IPO InvenSense as well as bigger players, as he identifies opportunities for investors to leverage these new developments. McWilliams' latest reports have the tech world buzzing, and they are now available via free trial subscription to Next Inning.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Analysts expect InvenSense to post revenue of $230 million in fiscal 2013, ten times its revenue just four years earlier, in 2009. Is this "overnight success" story still a compelling opportunity for investors looking to play the huge growth in next-generation consumer electronics? What does the rest of the MEMS market look like, and who are the biggest players? Does McWilliams' earnings and valuation analysis suggest that InvenSense is poised for further gains?

-- McWilliams was amazed last spring when Wall Street pushed the price of NXP into the mid-$30s based mostly on its first mover status with Near Field Communications (NFC) chips, and he advised investors to avoid the stock at those levels, suggesting instead that investors consider the stock when it dropped into the teens in fall 2011. Following NXP's most recent earnings report, does McWilliams expect further gains for the stock, or is it time to take profits?

-- What is McWilliams' view of recent analyst comments suggesting MIPS may sell its patent portfolio to Acacia? Would this be a positive development for MIPS investors?

-- McWilliams advised readers on November 30, 2011, that OmniVision represented a good opportunity at its then price of $10.20. With shares now up 56% from that call to buy, does McWilliams think investors should hold onto the stock ahead of its upcoming earnings report, or is it time to take profits?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 304% since its inception versus 50% for the S&P 500.
