Top Tech Analyst Previews Earnings for Analog Devices, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and International Rectifier and Updates Outlook for EZchip Semiconductor

PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Analog Devices (Nasdaq: ADI), Dell (Nasdaq: DELL), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), International Rectifier (NYSE: IRF), and EZchip Semiconductor (Nasdaq: EZCH)

Editor Paul McWilliams is best known for spotting big winners long before they are recognized by Wall Street.  Nearly a decade ago, he advised Next Inning readers that Apple was positioned to win big when it was trading for less than $10 per share (split adjusted). This is just one of many winners McWilliams has found for subscribers over the last ten years, and his latest reports offer more actionable insights for investors.

Ahead of Fusion-IO's earnings report on August 9th, McWilliams advised investors that upside for the stock could be expected.  Fusion-IO is up 44% from where the stock opened after McWilliams' report was published.  In the same report he suggested selling Spreadtrum Communications, and its price has fallen nearly 7% after disappointing investors.  Trial subscribers will receive free access to in depth earnings previews in which McWilliams provides his candid opinions as to what to buy and what to sell.

In addition, trial subscribers will receive free access to "Triple Crown Tech Stocks," a special report in which McWilliams carefully demonstrates that it is possible to assemble a simple portfolio of tech stocks that pays a higher dividend, has a lower price to earnings ratio and yet also is likely to provide greater growth potential than an investment in the S&P 500 Index.

McWilliams spent a decades-long career in the technology industry and has earned a reputation for his skill in communicating complex technology trends to individual investors and professional analysts alike. His reports have won over readers with their ability to unravel the complexities of the industry and, more importantly, identify which companies are likely to be the winners and losers as technology trends change.

McWilliams thinks his latest reports should be read by all tech investors and is making them, along with his special report "Triple Crown Tech Stocks," available free of charge to all who sign up for a no-obligation free trial to Next Inning Technology Research.

McWilliams' recent reports cover the following topics and more:

-- Analog Devices: In April, when Analog Devices was trading for nearly $38, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers to look for an opportunity to accumulate shares at or below $35.  McWilliams reiterated his buy call when shares of Analog Devices briefly traded below $35 in May.  Last week, Analog Devices hit a new 52-week high. Why does McWilliams hold a bullish view on Analog Devices?  Did Analog Devices make the cut in McWilliams' "Triple Crown" tech stock portfolio that is designed to deliver dividend yield, value and growth?  What does McWilliams see as a full value price for Analog Devices?

-- Dell: According to McWilliams, Dell has executed a radical business model change since losing its title as the number one PC manufacturer.  How does this change impact investors and the outlook for Dell's stock price?  Is Dell's acquisition of Quest Software supportive of this strategy?  With the institution of a new dividend policy, did Dell make the cut in McWilliams' "Triple Crown" tech stock portfolio?  What does McWilliams see as a full value price for Dell?

-- Hewlett-Packard:  McWilliams advised Next Inning readers to sell HP then current price of $43.50 when it announced the termination of Mark Hurd and pulled no punches in his critique of his replacement.  Does he think HP's newest CEO, Meg Whitman, is making the right moves to turn HP around?  Does McWilliams think HP is a stock to consider now that it is trading for well below half his exit price?

-- International Rectifier: What three factors may benefit International Rectifier as its fiscal 2013 unfolds. If International Rectifier executes in line with McWilliams' expectations, what does he see as a realistic target price for the stock next year?  Does McWilliams expect International Rectifier to outperform analyst expectations with its upcoming fiscal Q4 2012 earnings report?

-- EZchip: During its conference call last week, Cisco talked quite a bit about Software Defined Networks (SDN).  Given that Cisco is EZchip's largest customer, does this transition impact EZchip's future prospects?  Does Marvell's claim that it has won numerous new network processor designs, particularly with Chinese networking companies, threaten EZchip's network processor business model?  What differentiates EZchip from Marvell and, for that matter, Broadcom in the network processor market?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 239% since its inception versus 56% for the S&P 500.
