		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, markets dropped a few points to end almost flat as the trend of lackluster trading continued, displaying the lack of conviction among investors. Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting affirmed its plan to continue the economic stimulus program but the divide in the central bank raised concerns over the possibility of a change in monetary policy. Meanwhile, merger &#38; acquisition news, coupled with Nasdaq OMX’s plans to rebalance the Nasdaq 100 index helped the tech sector gain significant points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined for the first time in three days and shed 0.05% to close at 12,393.90. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) could not break the key technical resistance level for a second day and closed at 1,332.63 after dropping 0.02%. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, Dow moved up to its highest point since June 5, 2008 and the markets ended with negligible gains, continuing the trend of tight volumes. Oil prices sky-rocketed to post a 30-month high and tech stocks weighed heavy on the broader markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.2% to end at 12,400.03, recording its highest close since June 5, 2008. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) gained 0.1% while the Nasdaq lost 0.1% to close at 1,332.87 and 2,789.19, respectively. The fear gauge, CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) rose above 17 and composite volumes on the New York Stock Exchange remained tight at a mere 3.2 billion shares. On the NYSE, advancers outpaced decliners by a ratio of 8:7. The lack of major news events was not ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading analog chipmaker Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN, or “TI”) reported that two of its fabs in Japan have been impacted by the Tsunami. Share prices had held relatively stable during the day, but dropped off 2.05% after hours when the company announced the damage. The worst affected was TI’s facility in Miho, Japan, which is located roughly 40 miles to the north west of Tokyo. Although the structure of the Miho building remains in tact, TI estimates that the fab’s basic infrastructure systems for delivering chemicals, gases, water and air will need a repair time of around 3 weeks. Manufacturing equipment could also have been impacted, but the non-availability of a continuous power supply makes it hard to gauge the extent of damage. Of the two remaining fabs, Aizu-wakamatsu (150 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ON Semiconductor (ONNN) recently announced that it agreed to acquire Sanyo Electric Co.’s unprofitable semiconductor business in a cash-and-stock-deal valued at about $366 million. The company said the acquisition of Sanyo Semiconductor Co. will strengthen its presence in the automotive and consumer markets in the Asia Pacific region. The chipmaker, which competes with big names such as Texas Instruments (TXN) and Intersil Corp. (ISIL), said it sees the acquisition resulting in a charge but did not say how much. Although ON Semiconductor, a part of Motorola Inc. (MOT) until 1999, has a decade-old presence in the Japanese market, it expects the latest acquisition to be a strategic fit, giving it increased access to what it says is an important part of the global semiconductor market.

		<description><![CDATA[National Semiconductor Corp.’s (NSM) earnings per share for the fourth quarter ended May 2010 came in 5 cents over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 28 cents. The earnings surprise was fueled by very broad-based revenue growth across end markets, geographies and most analog product lines, as well as a leaner cost structure. Revenues National generated revenues of $398.5 million in the fiscal fourth quarter, a sequential increase of 10.1%, a year-over-year increase of 41.9% and better than management’s guided range of $375-$390 million. The Americas region was up 13% sequentially, followed by Japan, which grew 11%, the Asia/Pacific, which grew 9% and Europe, which grew 8%. Direct sales to OEMs grew at a slightly lower pace than sales to distributors. Revenues by End Market Industrial, mobile phone, and communications and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Linear Technology’s (LLTC) third quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus by 7 cents. Revenue beat by 11.6%. We also expect the entire peer group Incorporatedluding Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM), Intersil Corporation (ISIL) and Semtech (SMTC) to report above expectations. The stock jumped 5.26% to close at $31.21, in response to the positive news. Revenue Revenue of $311.3 million was up 21.4% sequentially and 54.9% year over year. Revenue also exceeded the high end of management’s expectations of a 7-10% sequential increase. The sequential increase came from across all end-markets and geographies, although strength was largely driven by computer manufacturers in the U.S. and Asia, and automotive manufacturers in Europe.

		<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.

		<description><![CDATA[Semtech Corp.&#8216;s (SMTC) fourth-quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. Shares were up in response. The company&#8217;s closest competitors, Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM), Linear Technology Corp. (LLTC) and Intersil Corp. (ISIL) also beat the Zacks Consensus, as end markets continued to strengthen. Revenue Revenue of $85.0 million was up 13.1% sequentially and up 35.6% year over year. The year-over-year increase came after four quarters of decline and basically validates the theory that the chip sector is on a growth path. The sequential strength was driven primarily by the communications market, although it was fairly broad-based across all geographies. In the last quarter, the company introduced 17 new products and won 680 new design wins. While Asia remained the largest region with a 57% revenue share, North America ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Linear Technology’s (LLTC) second quarter earnings beat the Zacks consensus by 11 cents. Revenue beat the consensus by 4.0%. We also expect the entire peer group Incorporatedluding Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM), Intersil Corporation (ISIL) and Semtech (SMTC) to report above expectations. The stock fell 1.9%, probably on account of the better-than-expected earnings falling below the year-ago quarter. Revenue Revenue of $256.4 million was up 8.6% sequentially and 2.9% year over year. Revenue also exceeded the high-end of management’s expectations of a 2-5% increase. The sequential strength was broad-based across all geographies, although the industrial, communications and computing end-markets were the strongest. The year-over-year increase in revenue followed four quarters of decline. Revenue by Geography Revenue distribution by geography was unchanged from the previous quarter, with the U.S. generating 29%, Europe ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Novellus Systems (NVLS) raised its fourth-quarter revenue and earnings outlook, as a result of the ongoing recovery in the semiconductor market. The company now expects revenues of $225-245 million, compared to previous guidance of $215-245 million, which raises the mid-point from $230 to $235 million. Management had previously guided to bookings increase of 25-50%, which were not subsequently revised. Therefore, we assume that bookings are expected to remain within this range. GAAP gross margin expectations were also not revised and remain in the 44-47% range. EPS expectations were raised to 25-40 cents from previous guidance of 20-40 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter is pegged at 31 cents, close to the middle of the revised range. The company’s third-quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a ]]></description>

This follows better-than-expected results reported by the entire peer group Incorporatedluding Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM), Intersil Corporation (ISIL) and Linear Technology (LLTC). Revenue Revenue of $75.1 million was up 13.3% sequentially and down 5.7% year over year. The sequential strength was broad-based across all end-markets except industrial and was derived from sequential increases across all product lines except power discrete. The decline from the year-ago period was recession-related. Asia remained the largest region, with a 61% revenue share. North America was next, representing 23% of total revenue and Europe third, generating the remaining 16%. All three regions witnessed higher demand, with Asia growing 15.2% sequentially, North America growing 4.2% and Europe 20.9%. Both distribution and OEM sales grew ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Intersil Corporation (ISIL) is an OEM of analog and mixed signal semiconductor ICs. September quarter results beat consensus estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Forward guidance is for 3% revenue growth in the fourth quarter. We expect an unfavorable mix of business through 2009, although management initiatives are likely to mitigate the impact. Management expressed confidence that the bottom is behind it, and judging from the increasing order rates and growing backlog, we are inclined to agree. Since shares are still going rather cheap, we encourage investors to accumulate them. We are raising our rating from Neutral to Outperform.
