Top Tech Analyst Publishes State of Tech Report, Issues Investor Updates and Revised Price Targets on 71 Companies, Including ON Semiconductor, Tellabs, Jabil Circuit, Atmel, and Microchip Technology

PRINCETON, N.J., April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on technology stocks, has issued updated outlooks for ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), Tellabs (Nasdaq: TLAB), Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL), Atmel (Nasdaq: ATML), and Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP).

During 2012, Next Inning editor, Paul McWilliams predicted both the spring and fall corrections as well as the rally that started in November and carried through the first quarter of 2013.  On the day the November rally started, he advised readers it would lift the NASDAQ by as much at 18% by the end of March 2013.  As we know now, that is exactly what happened. 

To keep Next Inning readers ahead of the curve, Next Inning published McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech report last week.  This report outlines McWilliams' outlook for the second quarter and provides readers with deep insight into 71 of the world's leading tech companies.  McWilliams also shares his opinions as to which of these companies investors should buy and which should be avoided.

Trial subscribers will receive the 167-page report, which includes 35 detailed tables and graphs, for free, no strings attached. This report is a must read for investors and analysts focusing on technology in 2013.

Already in 2013, McWilliams suggested buying several stocks ahead of quarterly earnings reports including Cree (up 57% year to date), Micron (up 57% year to date), Marvell (up 42% year to date), PMC Sierra (up 28% year to date) and SanDisk (up 35% year to date). Stocks he suggested avoiding/selling include Fusion-io (down 36% year to date) and Netlist (down 15% year to date). McWilliams' new State of Tech report outlines which stocks investors will want to own and which they should avoid as the market hits new all-time highs.

Topics discussed in the latest reports include:

-- ON Semi:  In October 2012, McWilliams wrote that sentiment toward ON Semi would improve significantly in the next six months and advised investors to consider the stock at its then price of $6.18. With ON Semi shares now over 30% higher, has the easy money been made or is McWilliams expecting more upside for ON?  What drivers does McWilliams see coming into play for ON Semi in 2013?

-- Tellabs: With Tellabs trading only slightly higher than the value of its balance sheet, are downside risks minimal?  What market changes have begun to unfold that could benefit Tellabs going forward? Is Tellabs well-positioned to execute a turnaround story this year?

-- Jabil:  What is Wall Street getting wrong about Jabil's business model and the core value of its business? Does McWilliams believe Jabil is the best stock for investors wanting exposure to the EMS sector? Could Jabil shares hit $25 in 2013?  What other EMS companies does McWilliams think investors should consider owning this year?  Investors and analysts will find detailed coverage and commentary on five of the largest EMS companies in the world in the Next Inning State of Tech report.

-- Atmel: It was just over one year ago when McWilliams strongly suggested selling Atmel at its then current price of $9.12.  Following that, the price of Atmel fell like a rock and in October 2012 McWilliams suggested it was time to buy again at $4.76.  Has Atmel made the right moves by selling its serial Flash product line last year and shifting to a broader market strategy rather than focusing on touch screen technology?  What is McWilliams' outlook for Atmel in 2013?

-- Microchip: Could closer ties between Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Renesas and Texas Instruments' focus on embedded processor markets be disruptive to Microchip's business model?  What other changes occurred during 2012 in the embedded processor sector that could present new competitive challenges for Microchip? How has Microchip adapted to these changes and increased its exposure to the hot automotive markets?
