| 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: https://www.nextinning.com/subscribe/index.php?refer=prn638 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? Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 206% since its inception versus 75% for the Nasdaq.
