PRINCETON, N.J., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research
(http://www.nextinning.com), a subscription service focused on semiconductor
and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Altera
(Nasdaq: ALTR), Xilinx (Nasdaq: XLNX), Intersil (Nasdaq: ISIL), and
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM).

Without a doubt, 2008 has been a challenging year for investors. However,
with challenge comes opportunity. Some analysts say that tech stocks are bad
and others say they are good. Editor Paul McWilliams says there are tech
stocks fitting both categories. In his reports, he provides the insight
investors need to pick the winners and avoid the losers:

In his report on worldwide semiconductor sales, McWilliams wrote: "I think
the simplest way to view the analog markets today is that some of the higher
volume applications are moving down the food chain. Where laptop power control
started out with companies like Linear Technology earning towards 70% gross
margins and moved on to companies like Intersil, which realized gross margins
in the mid-50% area, we're now seeing a trend that will push these
applications on to companies that earn only around 40% gross margins..."


McWilliams also looks at these topics:

-- After a rather dismal 2007, does McWilliams think 2008 will mark a
positive turning point for Altera and Xilinx?

-- Does McWilliams expect Intersil to top its Q1 guidance? What upsides
does he see for Intersil that may offset the risks of potentially
stiffer competition he expects to build in PC power control market next

year?

-- Might Wall Street be weighing economic conditions too heavily in the
case of STMicro? Does McWilliams believe that the stock is overlooked
by Wall Street?
