		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s negative pre-announcement from Cirrus Logic (CRUS) adds to the cloudy outlook for Apple (AAPL). In many ways, Apple&#8217;s problems are very company-specific: a function of competitors are finally catching up to it. Apple&#8217;s smart-phones and tablets no longer have the field to themselves. What this means is that Apple&#8217;s growth outlook is a lot less certain than was previously believed. We will know more about Apple&#8217;s earnings picture as the company reports Q1 results after the close on April 23rd. But the current Zacks Consensus estimate for Q1 is down almost 14% in the last three months and estimates for the coming quarters likely have more room to come down. In terms of growth, Apple&#8217;s total Q1 earnings are expected to be down roughly -16% from the same period ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world’s largest thin-film solar manufacturer, First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) has purchased the North Star solar project from NorthLight Power LLC. The deal comes a day after the First Solar stock experienced its biggest gain since its listing in Nov 2006. The companies, however, did not reveal the financial terms of the transaction. The 60-megawatt North Star photovoltaic (PV) solar plant has been developed by NorthLight, which is a joint venture company between Renewable Energy Corp. ASA with 60% interest and Summit Power Group, LLC (40%). Construction on the project, located in Mendota, Calif., is scheduled to begin by next year and finish in 2015. This will likely create around 410 construction jobs. This PV solar plant has a 20-year power purchase agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company, an ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bellwether fabless semiconductor company Altera Corp. (ALTR) went a step ahead to focus on an advanced version of FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) chips. For this transition into high-end high performance next-generation chips, Altera is collaborating with the chip giant Intel Corp. (INTC). So far, the chip maker has used its facilities for its own processors. Signing Altera as its first foundry customer will allow it to grow its foundry chip business and make a successful strategic shift in its business model. According to the agreement, Intel will be making chips for Altera using its 14 nanometer (nm) trigate transistor technology. Altera is currently manufacturing its chips at the 45nm, 40nm and 28nm nodes. Intel’s technology will help it to make a smooth transition to 14nm FPGA production. Altera remains on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (JASO) announced the beginning of the production of its 5-inch highly effective monocrystalline modules. The production will take place on a massive scale. The 72-cell modules have power output of 210 megawatt (&#8220;MW&#8221;), which can be scaled up to 215 MW. This makes JA Solar the first photovoltaic (&#8220;PV&#8221;) manufacturing entity to accomplish standard output level of 210 MW from the monocrystalline frame. In comparison to other models, the monocrystalline modules generate 3% more power annually, which in turn leads to 2% cost savings in terms of transportation, space and materials. The company has been involved in such large-scale production activities. Previously, during November 2012, the company initiated the production of the then newly launched 6-inch full-square monocrystalline modules.

		<description><![CDATA[Microchip Technology (MCHP) is one of the fastest growing providers of 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers. Earnings estimates have gone down significantly after the company reported its second quarter 2013 results, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter in a row. Sales continued to decline due to weak European markets and uncertain economic environments in the U.S. and China. Margins were hit by increased acquisition charges. The guidance provided by the company was also weak. The uncertain economic environment, coupled with deceleration in worldwide GDP growth, continues to hamper Microchip. Therefore, a significant improvement in business is not in the cards for the near term. Consequently, we have downgraded our recommendation on the company to Underperform from Neutral.

		<description><![CDATA[Shares of Cirrus Logic, Inc. (CRUS) are on a great run, buoyed by strong fourth quarter results announced on April 25, 2012. This fabless semiconductor company has a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy). Currently, the stock is trading around its 52-week high. However, there are chances of further upside based on Cirrus’ projection of solid growth during the second half of fiscal 2013. Earnings Beat, Outlook Upbeat Cirrus Logic reported fiscal fourth quarter 2012 earnings per share of 41 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by more than 36%. Net sales jumped 21.0% over the comparable prior-year quarter to $110.6 million, inching past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $110.0 million. Audio Products were the high point, growing 35.2% from the year-ago quarter. The gross margin improved 610 bps from the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter 2012 results on February 15, 2011, after the market closes. We see some movement in the analysts’ estimates at this point. Third Quarter Overview NVIDIA reported decent third quarter 2012 adjusted earnings of 31 cents per share, significantly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 26 cents. The company witnessed revenue growth across all its segments, with GPU business inching up 1.0% from the prior quarter. The gain was posted despite a $47.3 million decline in the chipset business, which the company intends to dispense with going forward. Professional business delivered revenues of $230.3 million, up 9.5% sequentially riding on the growth in Quadro professional graphics products. The Consumer business increased 14% sequentially.

		<description><![CDATA[Canadian Solar, Inc. &#8211; ADS (CSIQ) is a low cost, vertically-integrated solar module producer with predominantly China-based manufacturing assets. In the near-term, fortunes look to be impacted by the industry-wide oversupply glut, leading to sharply falling average selling prices, tepid module demand in Europe, and rising competition in the market. Furthermore, adjusted loss per ADS of $1.24 in its third quarter of 2011 was way below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.51 loss. Given the industry wide high inventory level, we do not foresee any short-term improvement in margins of the company. So we advise investors to exit from the stock for now and look for a favorable entry point in the future. Canadian Solar is also undergoing a review by the International Trade Commission due to a complaint by ]]></description>

The transaction is a win-win situation for both the parties since with the Topaz deal First Solar is able to clear its house with all the big four U.S. based utility solar projects under sale. The other three big ticket projects include the 660-megawatt Desert Sunlight project in California vended to NextEra Energy Resources (NEE) and General Electric (GE); the 348-megawatt Agua Caliente project in Arizona sold to NRG Energy Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[Despite oil prices’ ability to maintain a level close to $100/bbl., the solar power industry has been thoroughly decimated in 2011. Major bankruptcies, political scandals that have called into question subsides to the space, and intense competition from China have all combined to make an investment in this budding industry a big loser so far this year. Yet, given the appeal of the industry to some from a long term perspective, a few buy-and-holders have begun to dip their toes into the space hoping to get in at a favorable price point that has not been seen in years for some companies in the industry. This trend could really take off in the months ahead as the world’s most famous investor, Warren Buffett, announced plans to have one of his ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading player among the global solar companies, Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) has delivered its solar modules to saferay for an 8.5 MW power plant located in Lindenhof near Neubrandenburg in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The photovoltaic system will use 36,000 CS6P-P solar modules manufactured and supplied by Canadian Solar. These modules are of high quality, reliability and have the capacity to produce clean and cheap energy. The project company saferay is about to complete the solar park installation with the plant expected to be ready in December 2011. Recently, in September 2011, saferay completed the Senftenberg II/III 78 MW partial complex in Brandenburg, which is part of the world&#8217;s largest 166 MW solar power plant, using modules provided by Canadian Solar.

The company expected late summer orders for normal Christmas-related builds in September, but distributors did not see any sales related to Christmas builds materialize. Microchip continues to see a broad-based weakness in all markets and in all geographies. Therefore, based on weak earnings expectations, we continue to maintain our Underperform recommendation on Microchip Technology. We set a target price of $33.00 based on a 2012 P/E multiple of 18.6x.

However, since we know that companies that report better-than-expected earnings tend to see their share prices rise after the announcement, and those that disappoint sink, it would be nice to be able to get in front of those that are likely to do better than expected and get out of the way of those which are going to disappoint. Not easy to do, but there is a way to improve your odds. I like to look for the combination of three inter-related factors in trying to figure out who will post positive surprises, and who will disappoint.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Friday, June 17, 2011 GTM Research forecasts that global solar installations will rise from about 17,400 megawatts in 2010 to 20,900 megawatts this year. And for 2015, GTM predicts that solar installations will increase to 35,500 megawatts. Most of these installations will probably take place in China, according to a report released six months ago by a HSBC research team that traveled to China. In the report, HSBC said that the country was on track to outstrip its own aggressive government targets for clean energy, solar energy included, by 50 percent in 2015. By 2020, HSBC expects China to install about 20 gigawatts of solar power facilities. Solar Demand Wanes as Production Amps Up While interest in the solar industry is at a new ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently upgraded our recommendation on Altera Corp (ALTR) to Outperform from Neutral. We view Altera as a play on the secular trend of programmable logic devices (PLDs) replacing application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which provides a strong opportunity for future growth. Altera continues to post solid growth and we believe this growth will be sustainable in the long run. The industry-leading 40-nanometer product execution and the company’s ongoing efforts to improve operating efficiency remain the keys to long-term revenue growth. Management stated that design wins in 40-nanometer are well ahead of any previous generation products. We believe the company gained market share in 2010 vis-à-vis its rival Xilinx Inc (XLNX).  We believe Altera’s lead at the 40 nm technology node could eat into rival Xilinx Inc&#8217;s market share. in the coming years, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading visual computing technologies and graphic chip manufacturing company, NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) recently declared its intention of acquiring U.K-based data-modem chip manufacturer Icera Inc. for $367 million in cash. This acquisition is expected to enhance the company’s Tegra processing chips, and provide the much-needed competitive edge over its prime competitor Qualcomm Inc., (QCOM), which already provides both processing and modem chips for portable devices. NVIDIA also expects this acquisition to help it enter the competitive baseband or radio chips market, which connect devices to cellular networks. Moreover, the company believes this collaboration will be beneficial for end-users, which is expected to result in a much faster roll out of smartphones in the market, thereby boosting revenue going forward.

Earnings declined 2.0% sequentially, while increasing 38.1% year over year. Linear cautioned investors about uncertainties related to Japan, which accounts for around 15% of Linear’s revenue. Although the last quarter was not severely impacted, management stated that customers were beginning to get concerned about supplies out of Japan, which could negatively impact Linear’s performance. Particularly so, since the company has revamped its portfolio over the last few years, increasing focus on the auto market, which is bearing the brunt of the disaster as far as the chip market is concerned. On the positive side, Linear has the ability to ship to demand very quickly, which could be a positive in this environment. Revenue ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) is a worldwide leader in visual computing technologies. The company reported decent fourth-quarter numbers, but is optimistic about its long-term growth with the gradual recovery in demand for graphic chips. Moreover, the company rolled out the first quad-core mobile processor. The company also received $1.5 billion in a licensing agreement with Intel Corp. that spans for six years. The stock has traded in a trailing twelve month P/E of 36.3x, and going forward we expect it to trade around this multiple. We upgrade NVDA to Outperform and set a price target of $28.00, representing a P/E of 27.1x our 2012 EPS estimate.

		<description><![CDATA[NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) is scheduled to announce its third quarter 2011 results on November 12, 2010, and the two way revisions in estimates reflects mixed sentiment on the stock. Second Quarter Overview NVIDIA reported second quarter 2011 numbers, with earnings per share of 3 cents down from the year-ago quarter, although below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 11 cents. NVIDIA delivered revenues of $811.2 million, down 19.0% from the previous quarter but up 4.5% from the year-ago quarter. While the Quadro professional graphics, Tesla GPU computing, and Tegra system-on-a-chip product lines did well, the GeForce consumer business disappointed, as a result of weak PC demand in Europe and China. Gross margin on a GAAP basis was 16.6%, down from 45.6% in the previous quarter and 20.2% in the year-earlier quarter. ]]></description>
