		<description><![CDATA[The present wireless market is ready for the incipient boom in the wireless data space with expanding broadband services. Data traffic is growing in leaps and bounds and has more than doubled over the last three years. As a result, U.S. carriers are finding it increasingly difficult to manage rising mobile data traffic. The situation becomes even worse with the growing popularity of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPhone and Google Inc.’s (GOOG) Android smartphones. Stiff competitive pressure and limited wireless spectrum licenses add to the difficulties. The carriers are in need of additional airwaves to expand their high-speed services and support 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile broadband services. As a result, the wireless industry in 2012 is intent on tapping unused spectrum to expand their capacity. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), which ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have upgraded our recommendation on Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) to Outperform. Recently, it reported a record high result for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Net income was up 20% year over year and 33% sequentially, indicating Qualcomm’s operating efficiency. Management is quite confident that it will be able to maintain its current pace of top and bottom line growth for at least the next five years. There are primarily four reasons for this positive outlook: (1) gradual introduction of 4G LTE enabled mobile handsets in the U.S., Japan, and South Korea; (2) massive growth of 3G smartphones in the emerging markets, particularly in China, where the company has a strong foothold; (3) Qualcomm’s growing association with Apple Inc. (AAPL) for its iPhones and iPADs; and (4) a diversified product ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steve Jobs would be very proud… Last week, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) reported its fiscal first-quarter results for 2012, and the results were nothing short of astounding: Quarterly revenue hit an all-time high of $46.3 billion. 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>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the sluggish economy and stiff competition, U.S. telecom service providers are delivering consistent growth. These companies are innovating products and services as well as enhancing the existing ones to grow market share. Telecom operators provide Voice Telephony, Data, Internet, Cable and Satellite Television services through either wireless or wireline networks. Future growth of the telecom industry depends on the wireless segment as subscribers are discontinuing landlines and moving quickly to wireless connections. We expect wireless services to grow at a larger pace and account for 46% of the industry&#8217;s revenues in 2013, up from the current 42%. The carriers are rapidly entering into the cloud computing business due to increased competition and changing consumer habits. Cloud computing is now a business prerequisite that is high in demand.

		<description><![CDATA[With the whole world increasingly going mobile, top phone makers such as Samsung, LG, Motorola, Apple (AAPL) and Research In Motion (RIMM) are scrambling to bring smarter devices to the market. In fact, phone makers are touting screen size, resolution, virtual or real QWERTY keyboards, video conferencing, recording and streaming, social networking, office integration and what not to boost sales. While our parents may have considered a phone good if it offered noise-free, good-quality sound, we are more on the lookout for contacts management, social networking integration and media support, while our kids would rather be using the device to listen to music, capture and stream video and play games. Or that is what the phone companies would like us to do. And considering the level of competition in the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The third-largest U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) deployed its first multi-mode base station in Branchburg, New Jersey. This marks a milestone move in the company’s Network Vision strategy, which serves as a major catalyst in its growth plan. Under the Network Vision strategy announced last year, Sprint will consolidate multiple incompatible networks (CDMA and iDEN) into one platform, supporting multiple technologies (3G and 4G) and spectrum bands (800 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 1.6 GHz and 2.5 GHz). The company expects the full Network Vision deployment to be over by year-end 2013. Moreover, Sprint Nextel would terminate its iDEN network in mid-2013. Further, the company is replacing its iDEN network on CDMA-based phones with a new version of Nextel&#8217;s &#8220;push-to-talk&#8221; feature from Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM). The Sprint Direct Connect push-to-talk ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Competition sometimes creates strange bed fellows. Last week, this proverb was proved when Verizon Wireless entered into a spectrum purchase and products resell deal with SpectrumCo. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communicatons Inc. (VZ) and Vodafone Group plc. (VOD), and SpectrumCo, a consortium of U.S cable giants Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC), and Bright House Networks, are arch rivals. But most importantly, does this deal has the ability to transform the U.S. telecom market structure into a duopoly, especially when FCC and Department of Justice are raising several questions regarding the proposed merger of AT&#38;T Inc. (T) with T-Mobile USA. A Duopoly in Disguise   Major concern for the U.S. regulators regarding the proposed AT&#38;T and T-Mobile merger is that this deal may ultimately result ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rumor has it that Amazon.com (AMZN) will be launching a smartphone late next year. Well, may not be a rumor exactly, since the Citigroup (C) analyst reporting the development mentioned that his supply chain checks suggested that such a device was in fact being developed in collaboration with Foxconn International Holdings. However, the largest contract cellphone maker may not be the one to ultimately make the product for Amazon, which may rely on its tablet maker Hon Hai Precision for the purpose. The phone is expected to use Texas Instruments’ (TXN) OMAP 4 processor and Qualcomm (QCOM) baseband chips. The question that comes to mind is, what could Amazon possibly be thinking? The company is no more a smartphone maker than a tablet maker. So this is not its core ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) plans to eliminate 10% of its workforce or about 1,400 jobs in order to reduce operational costs. This layoff is an attempt by AMD to optimize its cost structure and thereby improve its competitiveness. The workforce reduction is expected to be over by the first quarter of 2012 and will be conducted globally across all its divisions. Along with other unspecified operational changes, the layoffs are expected to save $200 million in 2012. Management is looking to reinvest some of the savings into newer business areas, including chips for devices such as tablet-style computers in emerging markets and Internet-related opportunities (mainly cloud computing). Advanced Micro has been suffering from the slowdown in the global PC market plus the delay in important new chips due to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Telecommunications industry is witnessing consistent growth despite experiencing a sluggish U.S. economy. Most of the large national telecom service providers together with the regional prepaid telecom operators generated net subscriber addition in the third quarter of 2011. In the last couple of years, capital spending constraints among telecom operators due to severe recessionary conditions were the main hindrance to the industry’s growth. However, with the economic recovery in progress, albeit a slow pace, telecom service providers are gradually expanding their network coverage on the back of significant subscriber growth. The telecommunications industry is a major driver of global economic recovery. An unprecedented growth of high-speed mobile Internet traffic, particularly for wireless data and video, has transformed this industry into the most evolving, inventive and keenly contested industry. In addition, emergence ]]></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>

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.

Hence, the FCC has combined the investigation and review of both transactions, postponing the completion of the spectrum purchase to the first quarter of 2012 from the second half of the year. The FCC said that the Qualcomm deal as well as theT-Mobile purchase would give additional spectrum rights to AT&#38;T, boosting data services to customers.

The telecommunications industry is identified as a major driver of the global economic recovery. The world economy is currently going through a recovery phase. The momentum is expected to remain strong in 2011. Several industry researchers have predicted that 2011 may witness telecommunications spending even more than the pre-recession periods. In the last few years, capital spending constraints among telecom operators due to severe recessionary conditions were the main hindrance to growth of this industry. However, with the economic recovery underway, large telecom service providers are gradually ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our cautious stance on Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) despite the company’s improved performance in the second quarter of 2011. Qualcomm, the largest global manufacturer of mobile phone chipsets, reported solid second quarter 2011 financial results where both the top and bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Moreover, robust results, higher smartphone demand and increased 3G network deployment in emerging nations have allowed management to provide strong financial outlook for fiscal 2011. Qualcomm benefited from the growing popularity of Android-based 3G smartphones. According to Wireless Intelligence reports, there were nearly 1.3 billion 3G subscribers worldwide by the end of March this year. Another research firm, GSA stated that there were total 18 LTE network deployments till date, which indicates improving chipset demand going forward. CDMA iPhone of Apple ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just months after Microsoft Corp (MSFT) announced that it would design an operating system based on ARM Holdings’ (ARMH) chip technology, the company showcased its Windows 8 software. The decision marks Microsoft’s divergence from its traditional partner Intel Corp (INTC), which is also fighting its own battle in the mobile computing space. Intel started promoting its trademarked “ultrabook,” which it expects will enable notebook-makers to regain some of the market share it lost to Apple Inc’s (AAPL) iPad. The devices are expected to be lighter and just slightly more expensive than Apple’s, while providing greater functionality. Intel executives stated that ultrabooks based on Intel’s new chips would sport an advanced touch screen, start in a few seconds, connect to the Internet almost immediately and have several days of battery life ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Thursday, May 12, 2011 Last week, Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) said it made the biggest breakthrough in microprocessor design in recent history. It called its new chip the most significant advance since the 1950?s silicon transistor. The company expects to begin production later this year, using a revolutionary 3D technology it has worked on for nearly a decade. With these strides, Intel claims to be three years ahead of the competition. Regardless, the move is a significant one. Microchip transistors, the building blocks of electronics, are always produced in flat structures. But Intel’s breakthrough involves more complex, 3D models with circuit widths of 22 nanometers. Most industry insiders see this push as Intel’s attempt to fend off a major challenge from U.K. chip designer Arm ]]></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.

		<description><![CDATA[Tessera Technologies, Inc. (TSRA) reported first quarter earnings that beat the Zacks Consensus estimate by 16 cents, or 50.0%. Despite a significant revenue decline, Tessera beat the Zacks Consensus due to lower-than-expected expenses and a much lower tax rate. Revenue Tessera’s reported revenue of $67.8 million was down 15.8% sequentially and up 5.5% year over year, at the high end of management’s expectations of $65-68 million (down 16-19% sequentially). The sequential comparison was hurt by the non-renewal of major licenses. Tessera has taken the matter to court, which has ruled in its favor. However, licensees could appeal, so the negative impact is likely to continue for another quarter at least. If the one-time litigation settlement gains were excluded from the year-ago quarter, revenue would be up 10.6%. Royalty and License ]]></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[We are downgrading our recommendation on Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM) to Neutral based on its current valuation. The stock price has moved up by nearly 68% in the last year. Qualcomm continues to perform exceptionally well primarily due to significant surge in demand for 3G smartphones. The company’s innovative Snapdragon platform and product diversification make management more confident about fiscal 2011. Therefore, it has provided a solid financial outlook. We continue to believe the robust growth of wireless data, emerging 4G LTE networks, and a very strong balance sheet will serve as long-term catalysts for Qualcomm. In addition to North America, Japan, and South Korea; China and India will be the future growth drivers for the company.  Qualcomm has a sound foothold in these two countries.

The Telecommunications Industry is identified as a major driver of the global economic recovery. Capital spending constraints among telecom operators due to severe recessionary conditions were the main hindrance to the growth of this industry. However, with the economic recovery in full swing, large telecom service providers are gradually expanding their network coverage on the back of significant subscriber growth. The telecommunications industry encompasses a lot of technology-related businesses. Besides the legacy local and long-distance wireline phone services, telecommunications industry also includes wireless communications, Internet services, fiber optics networks, cable TV networks and commercial satellite communications.

		<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>

Sprint is a trailblazer in 4G having leapfrogged over its larger U.S. peers, VerizonCommunication (VZ)and AT&#38;T Inc. (T) by becoming the first carrier to deploy commercial 4G service in Baltimore, back in October 2008. The company’s 4G services cover 71 markets in the U.S. and reached 120 million people at year-end 2010. The company currently runs its third generation (3G) network in the 1900 MHz band, has a wholesale deal with Clearwire Corp.

		<description><![CDATA[As promised, Intel Corp’s (INTC) acquisition of McAfee Inc was completed in the first quarter, following approval by both the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the European Union. The FTC had given its approval earlier, but clearance from the EU was received after Intel assured that the new products created as a result of the acquisition would also function with software from other security companies, such as Symantec Corp (SYMC). McAfee will operate as Intel’s wholly owned subsidiary and its results will be reported under the Software and Services Group. It will continue selling its products and services under the McAfee brand (at least for now). The agreement, which was announced in August last year was completely unexpected, taking both analysts and investors by surprise. Our detailed analysis is available ]]></description>

However, this did not prevent it from beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both the top and bottom lines. Revenue and EPS beat by 4.4% and 9 cents (13.2%), respectively. Revenue Revenue of $19.95 billion was up 23.2% sequentially and 4.9% from last year. Windows 7, Office 2010 and Kinect were particularly strong.
