		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

Alton, Hampshire-based Fern Howard is a recognized producer of energy efficient lighting solutions. Per the terms of the agreement, Fern Howard will obtain Rambus’ patented technology for its advanced lighting products. Rambus will receive royalty payments based on the shipment of these devices during the contract period. Rambus’ patented innovations include LED edge-lit optical designs, MicroLens light distribution features, high-volume, low-cost light guide panels, and multi-function film manufacturing technologies. These technologies facilitate lighting and display solutions vendors to include advantageous features of LED in each lighting solution at an affordable price.

		<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>

Earnings rose to never-before-seen levels. iPhone, iPad and Mac sales also all reached new highs. Even more, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook says this is only the beginning. He states, “Apple’s momentum is incredibly strong, and we have some amazing new products in the pipeline.” One of these innovations, the company announced, will almost certainly be the introduction of near-field communication, or NFC, technology in new iPhones and iPads this year. And for the NFC market, this means a huge boost is just around the corner… NFC Tech Set for Major Growth We’ve covered NFC technology ]]></description>

Per the terms of the agreement, Broadcom can use Rambus’ patented DRAM memory controllers and serial links technology for its logic integrated circuit products for five years. Rambus will receive royalty payments based on the shipment of these devices during the contract period. Apart from this deal, Rambus and Broadcom have settled all earlier claims regarding its patented innovations. Broadcom is a fabless semiconductor company and its operations circle around the broadband, mobile and wireless, as well as infrastructure and networking verticals. As per a report published by the U.S. research firm Gartner in April 2011, Broadcom is now one of the top 10 semiconductor companies in the world. We believe that association ]]></description>

Tech-giant Intel also contributed to weak investor confidence after the company projected revenues lower than its earlier projections. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plunged 1.3% to close the day at 12,021.39. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) slumped 1.5% to finish the day’s trading at 1,236.47. The Nasdaq Composite Index settled substantively lower at 2,612.26, declining by 1.3%. However, the fear-gauge Volatility Index (VIX) showed that investor concerns had receded somewhat, dropping 2.7% to settle at 25.67. Decliners outpaced advancing stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For 77% of the decliners, merely 20% stocks managed to climb higher with ]]></description>

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2012.  Broadcom expects the acquisition to be accretive to bottom-line by approximately $0.10 (excluding onetime items) in 2012. Management expects the acquisition to broaden Broadcom&#8217;s infrastructure portfolio with a number of critical new product lines and technologies, including knowledge-based processors, multi-core embedded processors, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading supplier of high performance network infrastructure solutions, QLogic Corporation (QLGC) reported strong second quarter 2012 earnings, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. However, earnings per share of 28 cents (excluding one-time charges, but including stock-based compensation expense) remained flat year over year. Operating Performance Gross profit was $99.1 million, up 3.0% on a year-over-year basis. Gross margin expanded 40 basis points (bps) year over year to 66.0%. This was in line with the low end of management’s guided range of 66.0% to 67.0%. Total operating expense increased 9.7% year over year to $67.2 million, primarily due to higher engineering and development cost (up 15.5%) and general and administrative expense (up 10.2%). Operating profit in the second quarter was $33.8 million, down 8.5% year over year. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) is scheduled to announce its third quarter fiscal 2011 results on October 24, 2011, and we notice downward movements in analyst estimates. Second Quarter Overview Texas Instruments delivered a decent second quarter, with pro forma earnings per share of 58 cents exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents, or 9.4%. The company reported revenue of $3.46 billion, which was up 1.9% sequentially and at the lower end of the originally guided range of $3.41 billion and $3.69 billion. The sequential increase was driven by strength in Analog and Embedded Processing segments, partially offset by the expected weakness in the company&#8217;s Wireless segment. As expected, revenue from Japan was weak. Texas Instruments’gross margin was 50.7%, down 25 basis points (bps) sequentially and 348 bps from the ]]></description>

(TXN) reported third quarter earnings that were up 15.8% sequentially and down 6.8% year over year, exceeding the Zacks Consensus estimate by 10 cents, or 17.5%. Although TI lowered earnings estimates, the addition of National limited negative estimate revisions. Therefore, overall estimates for the current quarter have remained unchanged while those for the following quarter and fiscal years 2011 and 2012 have gone up a bit. Results were better than the original guidance. However, while share prices jumped 4.04% during the day, in the hope of a strong quarter, they dropped 1.42% after-hours due to the weak guidance. Revenue TI reported revenue of $3.46 billion, which was up 0.2% sequentially, down 7.3% year over year and at the lower end of the originally guided range of$3.4 billion ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Friday, September 30, 2011 Two recent events have likely ushered the dawn of NFC smartphone technology in the mainstream marketplace. Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) finally released Google Wallet on September 19, Isis announced this week that a handful of major handset manufacturers are already showing support for its NFC platform. (Isis is a joint mobile payment venture between AT&#38;T (NYSE: T), Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and T-Mobile.) While Isis most likely won’t come online until 2012, it should offer some competition to Google, which is likely to use its recent acquisition of Motorola Mobility to help further push its NFC agenda. While these companies duke it out over who controls the NFC payment market, the semiconductor companies producing the chips used in the devices will most ]]></description>

Valued at 3.7 billion, it’s the largest semiconductor industry acquisition in seven years. The willingness of Broadcom to pay such a high premium represents the degree of paradigm shift in the industry. Semiconductor stocks across the board rose due to an overall market rally last week. But according to The Street, “The chip rally is notable because several stocks in the sector climbed on heavier volume – a sign that institutions are piling into the stocks.” This institutional pickup could signal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions, and so forth. The past decade has seen big changes in the industry, with most players streamlining operations and transferring more routine production to low-cost ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A late rally saw markets recoup the day’s losses to finally finish in the green on Monday, after news of China stepping in to buy Italian bonds helped soothe the nerves of jittery investors. Initially, markets had been trading in the negative zone as investors were bogged down by fears of a Greek debt-default. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained by 0.6% to close at 11,061.12. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) was up 0.7% to settle at 1,162.27. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,495.09, posting a 1.1% gain.

		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street’s volatile run continued on Thursday as encouraging economic data eroded fears of a possible recession at least for the moment, and the markets moved upwards. The Dow created history with its largest one-day percentage moves over the past four sessions, as it went up 423 points just a day after it was down more than 500 points. While a positive jobs report gave an additional boost to sentiment, Cisco also joined the party with its robust quarterly results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) soared 3.9% to close the day at 11,143.31. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) jumped 4.6% to close at 1,172.64 and the Nasdaq Composite Index shot up 4.7% to finish the day at 2,492.68. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index sank 9.3%.

		<description><![CDATA[Qualcomm Inc.(QCOM) reported excellent third quarter 2011 financial results, where both the earnings per share (EPS) and revenues exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The robust result was primarily attributable to the significant surge in demand for high-end 3G smartphones and tablets. Third Quarter Highlights Total revenue in the reported quarter was $3,623 million, up 34.2% year over year, and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,550 million. On a GAAP basis, quarterly net income was $1,035 million or 62 cents per share compared with $767 million or 47 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) reported second quarter earnings that were up 3.8% sequentially and down 9.8% year over year, exceeding the Zacks Consensus estimate by 5 cents, or 9.4%. Estimates have been moving downward since TI lowered its guidance, but actual results were within the original guidance range. Investor response was lukewarm, as the guidance disappointed. Revenue TI reported revenue of $3.46 billion, which was up 1.9% sequentially, down 1.1% year over year and at the lower end of the originally guided range of$3.41 billion and $3.69 billion (up 4.7% sequentially at the mid-point). On June 8, TI lowered guidance to between $3.36 billion and $3.50 billion (up 1.1% sequentially at the mid-point), in response to weaker demand from a single wireless customer, possibly Nokia Corp (NOK).

Benchmarks continued to slide for the second consecutive day in the absence of strong economic reports or encouraging earnings results. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped 0.7% to settle at 12,501.30. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed at 1,331.94, after shedding 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 0.1% to finish the day at 2,839.96. The fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 4.6% and traded over 20.

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks may find it hard to stay focused on the day&#8217;s earnings parade given the continued stalemate in Washington on the debt ceiling issue. We also have a couple of housing and consumer confidence reports coming out after the markets open. But had Washington not been as distracting as it has been lately, corporate earnings would be the most important news of the day. The markets have remained fairly stable thus far even as we get closer to the debt ceiling&#8217;s August 2 deadline. With the exception of the gold, no asset class appears to be worried. And this is hardly a sign of complacency. The markets may not be as efficient as some academics believe, but they are smart enough to evaluate America&#8217;s financial health.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets were rattled for the third consecutive day after concerns emerged over the stability of Italy’s banking sector. Just after the markets managed a finish in the green last week after six-consecutive weeks of losses, benchmarks once again ended in negative territory for the week. Positive economic data failed to drive the markets up amid disappointing reports from the technology sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) inched down slightly by less than a percent to settle at 11,934.58. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) shed 1.2% to close at 1,268.45.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets marked one of the strongest quarters of the decade with negligible movement in the indices as investors patiently await the job data from the Labor Department, scheduled for Friday. The indices faced a stiff challenge from global issues but survived the concerns to remain upbeat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained the most among the benchmarks over the quarter, jumping 6.4%. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 and Nasdaq followed the Dow, gaining 5.4% and 4.8%, respectively. The Dow was also the best performer for the month of March posting a gain of 0.8% while the S&#38;P 500 and Nasdaq dropped by 0.1% and 0.04%, respectively.

		<description><![CDATA[The board of directors of Qualcomm (QCOM) recently increased the company’s quarterly cash dividend by approximately 13% to 21.5 cents per share on its common stock. The hike in the dividend rate will be effective after the payment of the earlier dividend of 19 cents per share, as announced by the company, on January 14, 2011. The rise in dividend was mainly driven by significant surge in demand for the high-end 3G smartphones and tablets resulting in steady revenue and earnings growth. This is the company&#8217;s sixth dividend increase during the last five years. The company has been paying dividends uninterruptedly for the last nine years. The current dividend yield is 1.33%. Qualcomm possesses a strong balance sheet with $19,107 million of cash and marketable securities. The excess cash, available ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM), the largest global manufacturer of mobile phone chipsets, has decided to acquire leading Wi-Fi chip maker Atheros Communications Inc. (ATHR) for around $3.2 billion. According to our view, the primary reason of this acquisition is to offer an innovative product that will ensure seamless mobility between wireless and Wi-Fi networks. This acquisition will be the largest in the history of Qualcomm. The deal is expected to be closed by mid-2011 subject to regulatory approval and will be slightly accretive to Qualcomm’s earnings in its fiscal year 2012.  We believe the acquisition of Atheros will benefit Qualcomm in three ways: (1)   Qualcomm will now become an integrated chipset developer for the mobile computing market. So far, the company benefits from technical exclusivity for both ordinary mobile phones and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Concerned about the skirmish in the Korean peninsula and the Federal Reserve’s darker view about the economy, investors sold off stocks Tuesday, sending major indexes off at least 1.3% and reigniting worries about the pace and strength of the economic recovery. Fears that Ireland’s debt woes could spread beyond the country’s borders also played a part in the market’s slide yesterday. The Dow average plunged more than 142 points, or 1.3%, for its fourth drop in the past six sessions as downbeat news on the economy and reports that North Korea had fired artillery shells on a South Korean island, killing two South Korean soldiers, had investors dumping equities. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite index dropped 1.5% to 2494.95 and the broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index fell 1.4% to 1180.73. On the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) reported third quarter earnings that were up 12.1% sequentially and 69.4% year over year, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. The strong earnings growth was driven by healthy revenues, a better mix of business, cost control and good execution. Despite the positive surprise, Texas Instruments&#8217; shares dropped 1.28% in after-hours trading on continued concerns regarding the slowing of demand, as evident from the first bookings decline in 7 quarters. Texas Instruments has been reporting very strong revenue growth over the past four quarters, indicative of share gains at the expense of its analog peers, particularly National Semiconductor Corp. (NSM) and also possibly Analog Devices Inc. (ADI). Share gains should continue over the next few quarters as well, as the RFAB and other lower-cost facilities ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Intel Corp., (INTC) which recently acquired security-software maker McAfee Inc. (MFE) in a $7.68 billion transaction, is believed to be nearing a deal to acquire the wireless business of Infineon Technologies. Infineon, a German semiconductor company, is known for its processors used in smartphones made by Apple Inc. (AAPL), Nokia (NOK), Research In Motion (RIMM) and Samsung Electronics. The increased focus on the emerging mobile device market is perhaps Intel’s way of pre-empting a weakness in PC sales. In mature markets such as the U.K. and the U.S. PC demand is witnessing a shift to mobile computing devices. The Infineon wireless business, for its part, helps Intel get chips into mobile phones &#8212; an area where Intel has yet to make a mark. Samsung Electronics and Broadcom Inc. (BRCM) are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) reported second quarter earnings that were up 20.1% sequentially and 159.9% year over year, beating the Zacks Consensus estimate by 2 cents. The strong earnings growth was driven by healthy revenues (although just short of our estimate), a better mix of business, cost control and good execution. Despite the relatively strong performance, shares tumbled 5.28% after hours on concerns regarding the slowing of demand due to much weaker order growth. The company has been reporting very strong revenue growth over the past three quarters, indicative of share gains at the expense of its analog peers, particularly National Semiconductor Corp (NSM) and also, possibly Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). Share gains should continue over the next few quarters as well, as operation of the RFAB starts lowering costs, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading chipmaker Broadcom Corporation (BRCM) reported solid results for the second quarter of 2010, which beat both management and the Zacks estimates. Broadcom generated revenues of $1.604 billion in the second quarter of 2010, up 54.3% year over year and up 9.7% sequentially. The results surpassed management’s revenue guidance of $1.535 – $1.635 billion and the Zacks Consensus Estimate (ZCE) of $1.592 billion. The growth in revenues was powered by strong product demand from the Broadband and Mobile &#38; Wireless segments, which were up 15% and 14%, respectively. In terms of end-markets, the Broadband Communications segment recorded a 15% sequential growth, driven by strong demand for digital set-top boxes, digital TV and broadband access equipment. Broadcom stated that revenue growth momentum is expected to continue in the September quarter, driven ]]></description>
