		<description><![CDATA[Programmable Logic Devices (PLD) maker Altera Corporation (ALTR) recently slashed its revenue guidance for the fourth quarter of 2011. Altera now expects revenues in the fourth quarter to decline by 13% to 16% on a sequential basis, compared to the previous guidance of 7% – 11%. The new guidance implies revenues in the range of $438.9 million – $454.6 million, significantly lower than the previous guidance of $465.0 million – $485.9 million. Reasons for Downgrade Altera stated that the revenue outlook has deteriorated across all major vertical markets, including both large and small customers. Only North America is expected to benefit from rising military sales. All other geographies are expected to be weak. Most customers reduced demand due to economic uncertainty, macroeconomic concerns, and lower than planned sales. This is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microchip Technology (MCHP) recently reported net income of $79.3 million for the second quarter, down 20.2% sequentially and down 23.0% year over year. EPS came in at $0.42, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by $0.02. Microchip started the September quarter expecting broad-based demand weakness. 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.

		<description><![CDATA[National Semiconductor Corporation’s (NSM) earnings for the fourth quarter ended May 2011 were 4 cents higher than the Zacks Consensus estimate of 27 cents. National’s revenues were strong, despite the disaster in Japan, enabling the company to exceed the guidance provided on the last earnings call. As a result, the gross margin remained steady and operating margin actually improved slightly. Additionally, the tax rate was again lower, helping the company deliver numbers ahead of expectations. During the quarter, National announced its decision to merge with Texas Instruments (TXN). National generated revenue of $374.1 million in the fiscal fourth quarter, a sequential increase of 8.8% and a year-over-year decline of 6.1%, exceeding the high-end of management’s guided range of $360-370 million (a 5-8% sequential increase). National’s results were encouraging, particularly given ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[National Semiconductor Corporation’s (NSM) earnings for the second quarter ended November 2010 came in 2 cents over the Zacks Consensus estimate of 32 cents. National Semi’s revenues clearly disappointed, with a corresponding negative impact on the gross and operating margin lines. However, the tax rate was lower, helping the company deliver numbers slightly ahead of consensus expectations. While National Semi’s surprise history has not really been spectacular, the 5.9% positive surprise in the last quarter was one of the lowest it has been in recent times. Weak results coupled with weak orders resulted in a 4.81% decline in National Semi’s share prices in after-market trading yesterday. Revenue National Semi generated revenue of $390.4 million in the fiscal second quarter, a sequential decline of 5.2%, a year-over-year increase of 13.3% and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microchip Technology Incorporated (MCHP) announced that it has amended its agreement to acquire Silicon Storage Technology Inc. (SSTI). Silicon Storage is a global leader in embedded flash technology and in the licensing of these technologies. It has several other businesses including serial, parallel and specialty flash memories. Under the revised terms, Silicon Storage shareholders would be entitled to receive $3.05 per share in cash compared to the previous offer of $3.00 per share (second amendment). This second amendment was in response to an offer made by another party to Silicon’s Strategic Committee on March 2, 2010. In November 2009, Technology Resource Holdings (controlled by Prophet Equity LP) made a $2.10 per share offer to buy Silicon Storage. This was countered in early February when Microchip entered the fray with an ]]></description>

Under the revised terms, SST shareholders would be entitled to receive $3.00 per share in cash. Microchip earlier announced that it will acquire SSTI for $2.85 per share in cash or about $275 million in cash. Microchip proposed the revised terms in response to a competing offer from a private equity firm. The revised offer of $3.00 per share represents an approximate 42.8% premium to the amount that the holders of SST common stock would have received under the previously announced merger agreement between SST and Technology Resources Holdings, Inc. The acquisition is expected to close by the second quarter of calendar 2010. Silicon Storage is a global leader in embedded flash technology and the ]]></description>

The rate of decline has slowed in the first six months of 2009, and sales declined 25% year over year. SIA president George Scalise added that the continued recovery in consumer spending has led to the rise in sales. Industry momentum continues to be positive after a steep downturn in the second half of 2008. In particular, sales of netbook personal computers accounted for 17% of notebook personal computer [PC] unit sales, with further growth potential.

Massachusetts-based Skyworks designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of high-performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors that enable wireless connectivity. The company now expects revenues to come between $220 million and $225 million, up from the previous estimate of $210.3 million. Management has stated that multiple new program ramp-ups coupled with strong operational execution are contributing to the better-than-expected top-line and bottom-line growth. EPS (excluding one time charges/gains) is forecasted around 21 – 22 cents, up from the earlier projection of 19 cents.

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.
