However, EPS was 24.6% below the year-ago level, mostly due to lower revenue and higher expenses.

The reported revenue surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $769.0 million.

		<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[Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) is scheduled to announce its first quarter 2012 results on May 26, 2011, and we see limited revisions in analyst estimates at this point of time. Fourth Quarter Overview Marvell Technology delivered a disappointing fourth quarter with its top and bottom lines missing the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Marvell Technology’s fourth quarter 2011 revenue grew 7.0% from the year-ago quarter, but was below the company’s guidance range. The quarter’s revenue was affected to some extent by seasonal declines in the company’s mobile and wireless businesses and a significant slowdown in PC sales. An increase in expenses led to margin contraction. As a result, earnings per share remained flat year over year at 35 cents. Despite the weak results, management remains upbeat about its existing and newly launched ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NetApp Inc. (NTAP) has sealed a definitive agreement with LSI Corporation (LSI) to acquire its external storage systems business. This all-cash deal worth $480.0 million is expected to be wrapped up within two months, subject to regulatory approvals.

Revenue Marvell reported revenues of $900.5 million in the fourth quarter, up 7.0% from $842.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The quarter’s revenue was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $924.0 million and was at the lower end of the company’s guidance range of $900.0–$950.0 million. The fourth quarter was affected to some extent by seasonal declines in the company’s mobile and wireless end market business.

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, markets overcame fears of any near-term slide in the wake of global issues to end higher as materials and energy helped the indices post gains. The mass destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami in the third largest economy of the world, Japan, failed to unnerve US markets. Protests in Saudi Arabia also fizzled out letting investors share a cheerful mood. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) closed at 12,044.40 and gained 0.5% for the day. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 gained 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.5% to close at 1,304.28 and 2,715.61, respectively. However, earlier losses in the week limited the markets from ending higher for the week as the Dow inched down 1%, S&#38;P 500 shed 1.3% and Nasdaq lost 2.5%. On ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) is scheduled to announce its fourth quarter 2011 results on March 3, 2011, and we see limited revisions in analyst estimates at this point of time. Third Quarter Overview Marvell Technology’s third quarter 2011 revenue grew 19.5% from the year-ago quarter, fueled by a 20% year-over-year revenue growth in its mobile and wireless end-markets. Operating margin of 27.0% jumped 590 basis points from the year-ago quarter by virtue of better product mix and cost efficiencies. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were 41 cents, up from 30 cents reported in the year-ago quarter and ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 38 cents.

Instead, I recommend you focus on one industry destined to dish out profits in the year ahead… no matter what. That’s a bold statement, for sure. And it’s even bolder when I tell you that the industry I’m talking about is one that most investors fear because of its volatility. It’s the semiconductor industry. Now, let me prove why it’s worthy of your attention… The Semiconductor Industry is Set For An Epic Rebound… Everybody knows the semiconductor industry is violently cyclical. That means during good times, semiconductor companies make a boatload of money. But at the first hint of bad times, fortunes can turn on a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LSI Corporation (LSI) recently announced its next-generation link communication processor (LCP) designed to allow migration of network traffic to IP-based networks. An asymmetrical multicore system on a chip (SoC), the new LCP is based on the highly-successful LSI link layer processor. It supports all major protocols, enabling wireless, mobile backhaul, multiservice and router; it also enables broadband access traffic to be easily and efficiently migrated from current-generation networks to next-generation networks at much lower cost and risk than previous solutions. Earlier, LSI reported revenues of $638 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 5% from a year ago and up 10% sequentially. The revenue growth was driven by an early-stage recovery of enterprise IT spending. As more than 80% of the company&#8217;s revenues are tied to enterprise technology spending, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC) earlier reported revenues of $49.2 million from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2009, up 9% sequentially but down 23% year over year. The company earlier sold off its 3ware storage adapter solutions business to LSI Corp. (LSI) for approximately $20.8 million. The company had expected that the acquisition of 3ware storage adapter solution business (in 2004) would strengthen the company’s position in SATA based RAID controllers. However, management stated that the customer base, the product requirements and the business dynamics have not converged with its semiconductor solutions. Hence, it decided to sell this business. The company will now focus on its data center, enterprise and telecom businesses. Gross margin came in at 60% compared to 58.5% in the previous quarter and 71% in the year-ago ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[LSI Corp. (LSI) yesterday reported revenues of $578 million in the third quarter, down 19% year over year but up 11% sequentially. The sequential improvement in revenues was driven by increased shipments of mid range storage systems and server rated solutions. IT spending showed clear signs of improvement in the quarter as data centers needed to add storage capacity to meet demand for data storage in management while also taking advantage of newer server technology. Semiconductor revenues came in at $371.6 million, up 8% sequentially but down 25.7% year over year. Storage Systems revenues came in at $206.6 million, up 16.8% sequentially but down 3.4% year over year.

Revenues reported in the quarter were negatively impacted by reduced demand resulting from the global economic weakness experienced in all electronic markets since the fourth quarter. In addition, reduced inventory levels held by distributors also resulted in low shipments levels compared to prior periods. Gross margin declined to 32.3% from 35.1% in the previous quarter and 36.5% in the year-ago quarter, mainly due to a planned reduction in factory utilization in two of the company’s wafer fabrication facilities.
