		<description><![CDATA[Personal Computer (PC) shipments continue to struggle as research firms Gartner and IDC reported a decline in PC shipments for the fourth quarter of 2011. Gartner and IDC estimate 1.4% and 0.2% declines in worldwide PC shipments, respectively in the fourth quarter. Worldwide PC shipments for the fourth quarter were in the range of 92 million and 93 million, as per Gartner and IDC. The adjusted figures could be gathered from the PC makers, as the companies release their quarterly reports in the coming weeks. This decline in PC shipments is attributable to various factors, the most important of them being the growing popularity of the mobile devices that are more convenient, less expensive and almost as powerful as PCs. The massive popularity of smartphones was primarily responsible for the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the face of high competition, the Dutch company Royal Philips Electronics NV (PHG) got approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell a combination scanner that performs both positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging. The scanner is expected to accelerate imaging time for cancer patients, as PET identifies cancer cells as it absorbs chemical tracers. The magnetic resonance imaging will be helpful to identify the surrounding tissue. In addition, the magnetic imaging is also capable of scanning bone and combining systems in order to improve the diagnosis of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The big advantage of this machine is that these diagnoses can be done at much lower radiation levels than X-rays. In addition, the new scanner is expected to deliver with quality and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Koninklijke Philips Electronics (PHG) to Underperform with a $16 target price. The company had a weak second quarter with revenues declining 3.4% primarily due to lower license revenues and a decline at the Lifestyle Entertainment segment. Furthermore, the company posted a net loss of $1.9 billion during the recently concluded quarter due to a goodwill impairment charge of $2.0 billion. The net cash flow also declined significantly compared to the prior year, attributable to higher working capital outflow related to higher vendor payments. Our long-term Underperform recommendation on the ADRs indicates that they will perform below the broader U.S. equity market over the next six to twelve months. Our target price is $16.00 or 14.5X 2011 EPS, which is well within the historical range. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A developer of audio products and electronic systems, Harman International Industries Inc. (HAR) reported fourth quarter 2011 earnings of 34 cents per share, which substantively missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 52 cents by 18 cents. Earnings per share (EPS) increased 13.3% year over year from 30 cents reported in the prior-year quarter. Operating Performance Gross profit increased 10.3% year over year to $247.0 million. However, gross margin declined 240 basis points (bps) to 23.9% in the quarter. The gross margin was primarily dragged down by the declining gross margin in the Automotive division, which fully offset the margin growth in the Consumer and Professional divisions. The Automotive division gross margin decreased 360 bps to 20.1% in the fourth quarter. The tsunami and earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ann Heffron, CFA X First Marblehead Corporation, (FMD) has made several announcements over the past week that indicate it continues to fine-tune its operations as the Company forges ahead in its turn-around bid. In the first of these on June 30, FMD announced the completion of the $6.9 million sale of a portfolio of contracts with 377 lower cost private, predominantly faith-based primary and secondary schools from its Tuition Management Systems (TMS) subsidiary to FACTS Management Company, a Nelnet subsidiary. While this portfolio accounted for 18% of TMS’s revenue in calendar-year 2010, it represented a much higher proportion of contracts at 33% of the total. This sale rids TMS of a less lucrative business and frees up resources that TMS can more profitably devote to higher margin opportunities. We note that ]]></description>

The market research firm expects the video game industry to grow 10.4% to $74.4 billion from the 2010 level of $67.0 billion. Gartner estimates that software spending in 2011 will be roughly $44.7 billion (60.4% of total spending), and it will continue to dominate the overall gaming market in the next five years as it absorbs almost two-thirds of consumers’ gaming budgets. Spending on gaming hardware and online gaming are expected to reach $17.8 billion and $11.9 billion, respectively, in 2011. Gartner expects video game related spending to reach $112.0 billion by 2015, with 50.4% of spending on software ($56.5 billion).

		<description><![CDATA[Hubbell, Inc.&#8217;s (HUBB) first quarter results beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. We were particularly encouraged by the strong growth in the industrial market, improving demand at utilities and pockets of recovery in the non-residential construction market. While the stronger revenue growth, coupled with acquisitions and management&#8217;s margin expansion strategies are currently being offset by commodity cost increases, the situation will improve as price hikes go into effect. Additionally, Hubbell&#8217;s results bear a strong correlation to GDP growth, which remained positive in the first quarter of 2011. We therefore have an Outperform recommendation on Hubbell shares. This is supported by the target price of $75 (15.8X our 2012 earnings estimate), which is a discount to the peer group.

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Wednesday, June 22, 2011 The Great East Japan Earthquake shook up Japanese electronics manufacturers like Sony (NYSE: SNE), Hitachi (NYSE: HIT) and Panasonic (NYSE: PC) in March. And things haven’t turned around yet. Sony’s stock is still reeling as it hit a 52-week low last week – a drop of more than 25 percent from its pre-quake price. Panasonic is down more than 10 percent and Hitachi is down approximately eight percent from their respective prices on March 10, 2011 – the day before the disaster. Days after the first quake, we suggested that investing in Japan could be a good bet for the long term. What we didn’t know at the time was how long it would take to see signs of recovery. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The overall Personal Computer (PC) market is witnessing a downward trend, as elucidated by a year-over-year decline of 1.1% in PC shipments to 84.3 million during the first quarter of 2011. Technology research firms, IDC and Gartner unanimously confirmed the fact that there was a drop in PC sales compared with the year-ago quarter. The main reason behind the declining PC sales is the growing popularity of Apple’s (AAPL) iPad, which continues to take significant market share from the PC and notebook markets. Gartner and IDC expected PC sales to grow 3.0% and 1.5%, respectively. Apart from the growing popularity of the iPad, consumers did not show much interest in buying cheap PCs, a product category that acts as a major catalyst in PC sales growth.  Rather, they were interested ]]></description>

That’s not a failure to shrug off. Research company Strategic Analytics calls the U.S. the world’s most valuable mobile phone market, with sales of $38.8 billion in 2010. Much of that comes from Apple’s (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone and the like, a tough market to crack. But Sony Ericsson believes it now stands a chance against that competition. It certainly needs a push to reach its goal of selling the most phones that run off the Android operating system by Google (Nasdaq: GOOG). The company wants to increase its market share in Android phones from ]]></description>

However, earnings per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. The weak year-over-year results were primarily due to lackluster revenue growth and higher operating expenses. Revenue Revenues plunged 27.7% year over year to $17.5 million in the quarter, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The year-over-year decline in revenues was primarily due to a $13.0 million decrease in royalty recoveries from intellectual property compliance and enforcement activities. This decrease in royalty recoveries resulted primarily from the settlement of legal matters with Zoran Corporation (ZRAN) during the second quarter of 2009. DTS achieved a strong growth in the car and Blu-ray markets during the quarter. ]]></description>

After getting burned one too many times, international money managers won’t touch it anymore. And individual investors don’t trust it either, in large part because of its failure to regain more than half of its 1989 peak. Yet somehow, foreign ownership in Japanese stocks has edged higher recently. That could be a case of fools putting their hand on a hot stove again. But it also could indicate that Japan’s days as a dud are numbered… For the first time since at least 1980, Japanese dividend yields are beginning to look better than those in the U.S.. For income-focused investors, that may indicate a significant shift worth ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Panasonic Corp. (PC) entered into a licensing agreement with LodgeNet Interactive Corp. (LNET). LodgeNet is a leading provider of unique media and connectivity solutions. To serve the hospitality industry, Panasonic will integrate LodgeNet&#8217;s b-LAN (broadband local area network) technology into its new LRU20 series high-definition (HD) television displays. Under the agreement, Panasonic will install LodgeNet&#8217;s patented b-LAN technology into its televisions (TVs). This will provide users with cost effective solutions for interactive content and functionality, such as centralized channel management (through LodgeNet&#8217;s Free-to-Guest Management Appliance), video on demand content and interactive guest services. Panasonic TVs can be centrally operated as networked devices rather than unconnected, stand-alone units using LodgeNet&#8217;s b-LAN technology solution, the company stated. This means that the b-LAN technology will enable hoteliers to configure TV functions centrally without ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right after making headlines for a lawsuit against New Jersey-based Turbon International Inc., the largest personal computer (PC) manufacturer Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) has hit the headlines again for acquiring three virtualization software lines from software maker Phoenix Technologies Ltd. The deal is valued at $12.0 million and will give Phoenix the opportunity to focus on the core systems software market. We believe that, in keeping with the revival in demand for software and IT products, the demand for virtualization software will increase in an attempt to improve the productivity of each server. The software lines that will be acquired by HP include HyperSpace, HyperCore and Phoenix Flip products. HP has always grown through strategic acquisitions.

		<description><![CDATA[Sony Corp. (SNE) recently reported fiscal third quarter results. The company recorded earnings of ¥79.2 billion ($861 million), which was sharply higher compared to ¥10.4 billion in the year-ago quarter. The growth was primarily driven by strong Financial Services revenue, robust sales of Vaio PCs and PlayStation 3 gaming consoles as well as stringent management efforts to control costs. During the quarter, consolidated sales grew by 3.9% year-over-year to ¥2.15 trillion ($24.3 billion). The growth was mainly attributable to improved performance in Financial Services, Networked products and Pictures segments, partially offset by lower revenues in Consumer Products and Devices segment. Consumer Products &#38; Devices Revenue declined by 10.7% year-over-year to ¥1.09 trillion ($10.5 billion) primarily due to sluggish sales of LCD televisions, system LSIs and optical pickups. Operating income came ]]></description>

Total Revenue Revenue for the period was $591.9 million, flat sequentially (down 0.3%) and down 9.2% year over year. Core revenue excluding the contribution from acquisitions and negative currency impact was down 18%. The decline was attributable to broad-based weakness in the electrical products business, particularly related to non-residential construction, residential lighting, as well as declines in the power business. Pricing did not impact revenue in the last quarter. Management combined the Electrical Products and Industrial Technology segments at the beginning of the year, and reported results according to the two new segments: Electrical Products and Power Systems.

		<description><![CDATA[Panasonic Corp. (PC) released its new management policy for fiscal 2011, ending March 31, 2011. Under the new policy, the company will integrate SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. into the new Panasonic Group. Panasonic will benefit from SANYO’s acquisition as the latter is a key player in the solar cells and rechargeable batteries markets and has strong businesses in industrial equipment and devices. The acquisition will leverage Panasonic’s group synergies. Panasonic will expand its solar cell business in combination with SANYO&#8217;s solar technology, expertise in building products/electrical construction materials and worldwide sales channels. Panasonic will invest approximately 100 billion yen from fiscal 2011 to 2016 to increase production of SANYO&#8217;s &#8220;HIT&#8221; solar cells. This should enable Panasonic to acquire a leading market position in Japan in fiscal 2013 and become one ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Sheena Martin, Contributing Editor Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Over the past five years, an incredible new technology has gained momentum and is set to make its debut imminently. And as always, early investors are likely to enjoy the greatest returns. The technology is known as Long Term Evolution (LTE). And the possibilities are endless: Machine-to-machine communication… wireless communication in cars and household appliances… instant downloads of video conferences. Simply put, it’s the likely successor to current 3G mobile broadband technology. LTE offers superior user experience and simplified technology. With seamless mobility services, consumers remain connected through any access technology, such as WiFi, WiMAX, xDSL, FTTx, wherever they are. So just because your wife dragged you to her colleague’s baby shower out in the backwoods doesn’t mean you can’t still ]]></description>

Total Revenue Revenue for the period was $593.9 million, up 1.7% sequentially down 19.2% year over year. The year-over-year decline was the net result of the benefit from acquisitions that was offset by the negative impact of currency and a 21% decline in the core volume. The volume decline was attributable to broad-based weakness in the electrical products business, particularly in residential lighting, as well as declines in the power business. Pricing did not impact revenue in the last quarter. Management combined the Electrical Products and Industrial Technology segments at the beginning of the year, and reported results according to the two new segments—Electrical Products and Power Systems.

This one involves development of the best motion controller. Nintendo: The firm currently has the lead, with an accelerometer built into its handheld device, although that could change in 2010 when the other two debut their own versions. And it’s also alluded to an improved Wii by 2011. Sony: The firm’s new model uses a camera to track a device in the player’s hand.

President, Chairman and CEO Dinesh C Paliwal recently stated that the company expects its earnings from China to exceed $1 billion over the next five years. Revenue from India is expected to reach $250 million during the same time period. Management also announced the opening of a new R&#38;D center in the Huang Pu commercial district of Shanghai yesterday, which is expected to complement its existing manufacturing facilities in Suzhou and Shenzhen. We think this is an effective way of reducing costs, as R&#38;D engineers typically command higher pay than manufacturing personnel. The company’s current workforce in China is approximately 1000.
