		<description><![CDATA[Technology licensing company Rambus Inc. (RMBS) received an untoward ruling for a lawsuit filed for patent infringement, by a judge at the International Trade Commission (ITC). In the initial verdict, the judge mentioned that the plaintiffs did not conduct any breach with Rambus’ patented technologies. However, the final judgment is due in July. In a suit filed in 2010, Rambus complained that a number of its patents have been illegally used by chip makers LSI Corp. (LSI), MediaTek Inc. and STMicroelectronics (STM). This is the second loss in a row for Rambus, which met a similar fate in November 2011. At that time, Rambus received an unfavorable ruling by a California jury on the long-drawn (almost 7 years) antitrust battle with Micron Technology Inc. (MU) and Hynix Semiconductor Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[Rambus Inc. (RMBS) signed a patent licensing agreement with MediaTek Inc. for an undisclosed sum, yesterday. Per the terms of the agreement, MediaTek can use Rambus’ patented technology for its integrated circuit products for five years. Rambus will receive royalty payments based on the shipment of these devices during the contract period. In 2010, Rambus accused MediaTek of unlawfully using its patented inventions. But last Friday, a judge at the International Trade Commission (ITC) negated the claims and gave the plaintiff a clean chit. Keeping aside the judge’s final ruling, which is due in July, both companies reportedly announced that they have settled all previous claims mutually. Despite a legal tussle, MediaTek opted for Rambus’ technology. Customers are demanding utmost flexibility in electronic products. As MediaTek is a leading System-on-Chip ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SanDisk Corp. (SNDK) is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter fiscal 2011 results on January 25, 2012 after market close, and we do not see any variation in the analysts’ estimates at this point. Looking Back SanDisk posted impressive third quarter 2011 earnings of $1.10 per share, handily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13 cents. The improved earnings were attributable to strong revenue growth. Increasing demand for SanDisk’s flash memory products in the emerging markets, as well as solid performance by its retail and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) channels globally helped the company post a 14.8% year-over-year revenue growth. Despite the higher revenue growth rate, margins came in below the year-ago level, mostly due to the negative impact of the yen exchange rate, start-up cost for a new fab ]]></description>

The miss was largely due to subdued PC sales, which adversely affected the demand for memory chips. Management stated that Micron’s results were somewhat affected by stalled production in Japan due to the earthquake. But management also stated that the company is no longer facing any supply interruption. Revenue Micron reported revenue of $2.14 billion, down 6.5% year over year and 5.2% sequentially. The reported revenue was far below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.54 billion. Revenue from the sales of DRAM products fell 7.0% from the previous quarter as a result of a decrease in sales volume due to lower PC sales. Revenue from sales ]]></description>

(TWO) – a real estate investment trust (REIT) that primarily invests in residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), is likely to maintain a strong dividend payout in 2011. The company has recently declared a second quarter 2011 cash dividend of 40 cents per share, which remains unchanged from that of the first quarter. A steady dividend payout coincides with the long-term strategy of Two Harbors to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to its stockholders. The company has historically promulgated a dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plan through which stockholders could purchase additional shares of the company by reinvesting some or all of the cash dividends received.

		<description><![CDATA[Rambus Inc. (RMBS) posted first quarter 2011 loss per share of 2 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 6 cents. The adjusted loss per share excludes restatement and related legal charges, amortization, non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, gain from a legal settlement and tax gains. Shares dropped 4.90% after the market closed on April 21. Revenue Rambus reported total revenue of $62.5 million in the first quarter, down 61.4% from $161.9 million in the year-ago period. The uneven comparison was due to the receipt of a significant amount from a licensing agreement with Samsung in the first quarter of 2010. However, the quarter’s revenue surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $60.0 million. Royalty revenues decreased 63.1% year over year to $59.2 million. The decline was ]]></description>

Micron stated that the unit is under construction and is likely to be operational within the next three to five years, depending on existing market conditions. The idea behind this expansion is to complement Micron’s existing facility in Xi&#8217;an, which was built in 2007. The first Chinese facility was designed for assembly and test operations of Micron’s semiconductor products, including dynamic random access memory (DRAM), NAND flash memory and CMOS image sensors. The new semiconductor Test and Module Assembly unit will accommodate Micron&#8217;s Asian customers. The Asia-Pacific region has been growing  in leaps and bounds over the past few quarters.

SanDisk Corporation (SNDK) is expected to grow earnings by 160% in 2010 but analysts are less optimistic going into 2011, as they forecast an earnings decline of 14%.

The quarter’s revenue also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $37.0 million. However, the increase from the year-ago period could be attributed to a 15.9% year-over-year increase in licensing revenues, fueled by royalty payments from Samsung.

As per the deal, NVIDIA will pay a royalty to Rambus for certain memory controller patents. Despite a long-standing legal battle between the two companies related to patent infringements, the deal indicates a situation in favor of Rambus. In July 2008, Rambus filed a suit in the U.S. District Court alleging that NVIDIA products such as chipsets, graphics processors, media communication processors and multimedia applications processors infringed upon its patents. Recently, Rambus received a notice of favorable ruling from the International Trade Commission (ITC), whereby NVIDIA’s products would be barred from entering U.S. markets.

The company posted robust first quarter 2010 numbers, exceeding the Zacks consensus estimate. SanDisk witnessed major gains in the OEM business and higher product revenue, and has provided a decent guidance for the second quarter. The company witnessed stronger pricing and good OEM sales, which in turn have improved gross margin substantially in the first quarter. SanDisk is cash rich and is aggressively reducing capital expenditure outlay. In order to reduce inventory levels, the company is slowing down its in-house NAND supply. We are optimistic about the long-term growth story of SanDisk and upgrade the stock to Outperform. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SanDisk (SNDK) has a strong product portfolio and is a significant player in the U.S. flash memory market. The company posted very encouraging fourth quarter 2009 results, exceeding the management guidance. SanDisk witnessed major gains in the OEM business and higher product revenue and has provided a decent guidance for the first quarter. The company has reduced its cost of production significantly, which in turn has improved gross margin substantially in 2009. SanDisk is cash rich and is aggressively reducing capital expenditure outlay, while reducing convertible debt. In order to reduce inventory level, the company is slowing down in-house NAND supply. Although SanDisk is showing signs of revival, its customer concentration risk is a factor. We are optimistic about the long-term growth story of SanDisk and upgrade the stock to ]]></description>
