NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Texas Instruments, ON Semiconductor, Microchip Technology, Linear Technology, and Analog Devices

PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 5, 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 Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN), Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP), Linear Technology (Nasdaq: LLTC), ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), and Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI).

Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams was named the winner in both the Forbes and AOL stock picking contests for newsletter writers in 2010.  His top pick for 2010 moved up over 132% for the year, and he thinks he has another winner spotted for 2011 that might do just as well.

Steven Halpern, the editor of The Stock Advisors report, which tracks 75 subscription newsletters and publishes the AOL Top Picks Report, had this to say about McWilliams:

"I have followed the financial newsletter industry for 28 years, reading hundreds of financial advisors. Without doubt, Paul McWilliams offers among the most in-depth, highest quality and well-reasoned research available in the marketplace. I've rarely ever seen an advisor who is as knowledgeable -- and accurate -- regarding the sectors and stocks that they follow."

McWilliams, who worked in the tech industry as an executive for nearly 25 years, is used to picking winners for his readers.  His Next Inning model portfolio is up 373% since it was started in 2002.  That is more than nine times the 40% return for the S&P 500 over the same timeframe.  For 2010, McWilliams model portfolio returned 43% as compared to the S&P 500 return of only 13%.  

In addition to his top picks report, trial subscribers will also receive McWilliams' early look into 2011 and his highly acclaimed State of Tech series, offering 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.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- What does McWilliams think TI has in mind in the longer term for its new 300mm RFab initiative, the first 300mm fabrication line in the world dedicated to analog semiconductors?  What leads McWilliams to term TI as a good strategic investment and what does he view as being a fair price for the company's stock?

-- Given Microchip's earning potential and generous dividend, is the stock being undervalued by Wall Street?  Why will Microchip make only three dividend payments in 2011 versus the normal four?  What is interesting and unique about Microchip's business model? Is McWilliams' forecast for Microchip earnings in 2011 higher than Wall Street's consensus estimate?  

-- Last quarter, McWilliams suggested that Wall Street was overlooking ON Semi's expanding presence in the PC power control and management space and suggested readers consider buying the stock.  It took a couple months, but Wall Street finally caught on and ON Semi investors were rewarded with a quick 40% gain. Does McWilliams see further upside for ON Semi as this new view of the company's potential takes hold?

-- What aspects of the Linear Tech growth story are analysts missing? Based on what he terms as a conservative growth and earnings forecast, what does McWilliams see as a "fair price range" for Linear Tech?

-- What sets Analog Devices apart from other companies in the analog and mixed-signal semiconductor sector?  What are the four key catalysts for Analog Devices going forward?  What near-term upsides does McWilliams think Analog Devices has in store for investors?  Is Analog Devices trading at a bargain price based on McWilliams' in depth valuation analysis?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 373% since its inception versus 40% for the S&P 500.
