Cypress Semiconductor lost about 40 percent of its value last year but the stock offers attractive dividend yield of 4.44 percent. It has been gaining insider interest lately, as its CFO Brad Buss, snapped 10,000 shares of the company at an average price of $9.97 apiece. However, the impact is somewhat negated by the fact that Ken Griffin of Citadel Investments offloaded a large part of its holding in the company. Citadel currently owns 2.2 million shares of the company.
While the company is a front runner in mobile chip segment, it also has to deal with the general weakness in broader chip segment. The company management expects modest results FY2013. Its first quarter revenue is likely to be 5 to 9 percent lower than the previous quarter. It is also banking on its reconstruction as it spun off its Cypress Envirosystems unit. Cypress is likely to pick up during the latter half of the year.
