NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Cree, Juniper Networks, Linear Technology, Texas Instruments, and ON Semiconductor

PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 17, 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 Cree (Nasdaq: CREE), Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), Linear Technologies (Nasdaq: LLTC), Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN), and ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN).  

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 258% since its inception in 2002, over seven times the return for the S&P 500 during that period, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011.

McWilliams has been right on target this year with his predictions on the direction of the market.  From the spring sell-off to the June rebound to the slump in July and massive selloff that followed, McWilliams has kept Next Inning readers one step ahead of the market.

An example of a recent call for Next Inning trial subscribers: McWilliams suggested investors buy Finisar ahead of the market open on August 22 when it was trading at only $15.61 and reiterated the call ahead of the August 29 opening at $17.18.  As McWilliams predicted, Finisar guided well above Wall Street expectations and the stock surged to open on September 2 in the $20s. Trial subscribers will get free access to McWilliams updated thoughts on Finisar and the other major players in the fiber optics industry that were published October 12th.

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:

-- After radically outperforming the market in 2009 and 2010, Cree's growth has faltered in 2011 and along with that, its stock price. Does the announcement of a major roadway lighting project in China signal that Cree is poised for a turnaround? Could Cree shares rebound to above $50 a share as demand from China picks back up and Cree fires up its new and significantly more efficient production line?  What does McWilliams expect from Cree's acquisition of Ruud Industries?

-- What two primary risk factors are behind the steep decline in Juniper's share price since June? While 2011 looks as though it will be a tough year for Juniper at best, is 2012 looking better for Juniper investors? What is McWilliams' fair value range for the stock and how much upside does it represent from current prices?

-- What is unique about Linear Tech's strategy? Why is it actually good news for Linear Tech investors that Linear Tech backed away from low margin consumer markets during fiscal 2011?  Where does McWilliams think Linear Tech will pick up new business to offset what it has walked away from in the consumer markets?  Based on McWilliams' fiscal 2012 earnings forecast, what does he see as a "fair price range" for Linear Tech?

-- Did Texas Instruments overpay for National Semi? What does Texas Instruments gain from the acquisition? How much will the acquisition contribute to TI's bottom line in 2012? How will it affect the TI balance sheet? Should investors consider adding to TI positions, or should they steer clear until there's more visibility on how this merger will play out?

-- If we see a rebound in demand in early 2012, is ON Semi well positioned to reduce costs and grow profits more quickly than revenue? Might Wall Street continue to view ON Semi's leveraged balance sheet as a risk? What is the "big question" facing ON Semi?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 258% since its inception versus 35% for the S&P 500.
