NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Oracle, Research in Motion, National Semiconductor, Atmel, and Harmonic
PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL), Research in Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM), National Semiconductor (NYSE: NSM), Atmel (Nasdaq: ATML), and Harmonic (Nasdaq: HLIT).
Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. McWilliams called the rally that started in March 2009 and provided Next Inning readers with buy recommendations that in some cases returned in excess of 400%. His recommendations for 2010 have played out impressively as well. Year to date, the Next Inning model portfolio has gained 37% versus 11% for the S&P 500.
On August 30th, Next Inning published McWilliams' Fall Strategy Review. In that report he encouraged readers to accumulate shares ahead of what we now know has been a strong fall rally. He also outlined his expectations for the balance of 2010 and named five stocks he thinks will hit new highs before the close of the year. Among those stocks was MIPS, which has since doubled. Investors are invited to read McWilliams' market insights with no obligation during a 21-day risk-free trial.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:
-- In late 2008, when Oracle was trading at $16.84. McWilliams advised Next Inning readers they should consider it a strategic investment and a good "potential core tech holding." In September 2010, when Oracle was trading at $26.50, he reiterated the call and set a price target in the mid-30s. With Oracle now hovering around $30, McWilliams has updated his outlook for the stock and set a new target for 2011. How did the acquisition of Sun Microsystems fundamentally change Oracle's business model? What does McWilliams mean when he suggests that Oracle is now pursuing an "ecosystem" strategy, and what moves will Oracle make to support that shift? Might Oracle consider buying Research in Motion to bring a mobile strategy to its ecosystem model? How does he think the pairing of Larry Ellison and Mark Hurd, formerly CEO of Hewlett Packard, will work out for Oracle? What is his new price target for 2011?
-- McWilliams advised Next Inning readers last July it was time to buy Atmel and stated with unusual confidence the stock would trade in double digits by year's end. Since then, the price has moved up nearly 170% in less than six months. What did McWilliams recognize early with Atmel that Wall Street was missing? What is a reasonable price expectation for Atmel based on McWilliams' in depth valuation analysis?
-- McWilliams noted on October 11 that the risks of National reporting at the low end of its guidance made the stock unworthy of consideration? As McWilliams predicted, National, reported disappointing results late last week. With Wall Street caught by surprise and selling off the stock aggressively, is an opportunity arising for investors to grab shares of National at a bargain price? Or should investors continue to avoid National?
-- Should Harmonic investors be optimistic about the potential for ramping growth in 2011? Does McWilliams think 35% to 40% revenue growth in 2011 is something investors should model for Harmonic? Does a valuation analysis of Harmonic suggest that shares could be worth considerably more than their current price? What does McWilliams see as the drivers for Harmonic in 2011? Does he believe the company is poised to grow earnings faster than it grows sales in 2011?
Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 354% since its inception versus 37% for the S&P 500.
