NI Technology Updates Outlooks for ON Semiconductor, Microchip Technology, Tower Semiconductor, Rubicon Technology, and Applied Micro Circuits

PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 3, 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 ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP), Tower Semiconductor (Nasdaq: TSEM), Rubicon Technology (Nasdaq: RBCN) and Applied Micro Circuits (Nasdaq: AMCC).  

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 288% since its inception in 2002, 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 August, McWilliams has stayed one step ahead of the markets with timely reports that have allowed Next Inning subscribers to properly allocate their investments and hedge against risk in a volatile atmosphere.  As McWilliams predicted prior to the passage of the budget bill in Congress, a sell-off in the wake of the deal has come to pass.  In addition, according to McWilliams, there are specific catalysts investors need to watch for to time the next inflection point.

With earnings season now upon us, Next Inning is publishing extensive reports advising which stocks will do well and which investors should avoid going forward.  In one of those reports -- out earlier this season -- McWilliams predicted the upside Apple reported.  In addition, Next Inning subscribers will receive McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech series, offering in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- In October, McWilliams suggested that Next Inning readers buy shares of ON Semi at its then current price of $7.04.  With the stock now trading above $8, does he see more upside ahead?  What factors lead McWilliams to believe ON Semi is better positioned than most companies in the sector to compete against leader Texas Instruments?  What does he see as a "fair value" price for ON Semi?  Could ON Semi shares be worth more than $15 in the near- to medium-term?

-- Given Microchip's earning potential, extremely strong cash position, and generous dividend, is the stock being undervalued by Wall Street?  What is interesting and unique about Microchip's business model?  During the past two years, McWilliams has forecasted Microchip's earnings with uncanny accuracy.  What is his forecast for the coming fiscal year and what does he think will drive Microchip's success?

-- Should investors look favorably on Tower Semi's deal to acquire Micron's production facility in Japan?  What is the "elephant in the room" for Tower, and does McWilliams expect the resolution of this issue will be a long-term positive for the stock?

-- Why should investors look closely at Rubicon, despite a valuation analysis that suggests shares could have significant upside?

-- Did McWilliams revise his view of Applied Micro following the firm's recent earnings report?  Should investors increase their risk assessments for Applied Micro and temper near-term expectations?  Why might any further downside for Applied Micro shares be fairly limited from current levels? What is McWilliams' price target for Applied Micro if it performs as it has forecasted for the second half of its fiscal year?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 278% since its inception versus 38% for the S&P 500.
