NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Altera, Xilinx, Texas Instruments, and Qualcomm

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Altera (Nasdaq: ALTR), Xilinx (Nasdaq: XLNX), Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN), and Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM). 

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.  

In a report earlier this month analyzing worldwide semiconductor sales data, McWilliams noted that investors should wait patiently for declines in certain key stocks before considering accumulating shares. Now that both Altera and Texas Instruments have, as he predicted, lowered their outlooks for the current quarter, McWilliams has published a report advising investors what to do next and what they can expect to see in the semiconductor sector in 2012. This is a must read report for tech investors.

Trial subscribers will receive McWilliams' earnings previews and his highly acclaimed State of Tech reports that offer in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies and specific guidance on which stocks he thinks investors should own and which should be avoided.  These reports, as well as McWilliams' regular commentary and real-time trade alerts, are available for free to trial subscribers.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- In McWilliams' recent report on worldwide semiconductor sales, he noted that revenue from the product segment that includes programmable logic was weak. He also noted that while he continues to view both Altera and Xilinx as good strategic investments, he would wait for prices to dip 10% to 15%. While this seemed an unlikely event at the time, it looks like what we'll see today.  Does McWilliams think buying now is still the right strategy? What data suggests there could be a sharp, "snap-back" recovery in these stocks?

-- In McWilliams' recent report on worldwide semiconductor sales, he noted that revenue for both analog and standard logic semiconductors has been weak. In TI's update this week, the company specifically correlated with the data McWilliams had presented. Because McWilliams thought TI was paying too much for National Semi when the deal was made public earlier this year, McWilliams suggested selling TI then in the mid-$30s. In October, McWilliams reiterated that he would continue to avoid TI at its then current price just under $31. At would price would McWilliams consider accumulating shares of TI?

-- What data released by TI points to a potential upside for Qualcomm?  What data released by Altera suggests the same for TriQuint?  What is McWilliams' position on these two stocks?
