PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for high-yielding semiconductor stocks, including STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), Intersil (Nasdaq: ISIL), Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP), Maxim Integrated Products (Nasdaq: MXIM), and Linear Technology (Nasdaq: LLTC).

Next Inning's quarterly State of Tech reports are based on data collected from more than 60 leading technology companies as well as inputs from a worldwide network of field contacts. Each of the nine reports focuses on a specific tech sector.  In addition to concisely presented fundamental data covering income statements, balance sheets, forward valuations and performance versus consensus expectations, Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams provides price objectives and company-specific outlooks for 2012 and beyond.

This 35-page report contains 13 tables and offers a deep look at the sector unmatched by other analysts. For yield-focused investors, this is a must-read report.  Eight out of the twelve stocks covered in this report pay dividends - many above 3%, some above 4% and one above 6%!  Beyond his technical and fundamental commentary, McWilliams offers his views as to which companies are likely to raise dividends and which dividends might be in jeopardy.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Is STMicro's performance being weighed on by Nokia's recent struggles?  Did STMicro make a good move by unloading Numonyx to Micron and by joining forces with NXP Semiconductors and Ericsson in the handset space? Is STMicro's hefty dividend in danger of being reduced? What is McWilliams' estimated fair value range for STMicro, and how much upside does it represent from current levels?

-- What big mistakes did Intersil make in the last couple of years?  Did Intersil management err in not seeking a buyer for the firm?  Is Intersil in the early stages of a strong turnaround story? How safe is Intersil's generous dividend?

-- Given Microchip's earning potential and generous dividend, is the stock being undervalued by Wall Street?  How have the competitive dynamics facing Microchip shifted, and how has this changed McWilliams' view of the company? At what price would McWilliams consider adding shares of Microchip?

-- After successfully pursuing a strategy that will allow it to grow and create a durable design base in high volume applications, can Maxim soon be viewed as a "strategic" investment? At what price would McWilliams consider adding shares?  What does he see as a fair value for Maxim today?

-- What is unique about Linear Tech's strategy? Why is it good news for Linear Tech investors that Linear Tech backed away from low-margin consumer markets during fiscal 2011?  Where does McWilliams think Linear Tech will pick up new business to offset what it has walked away from in the consumer markets?  Based on McWilliams' fiscal 2012 and 2013 earnings forecasts, what does he see as a "fair price range" for Linear Tech?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 267% since its inception versus 42% for the S&P 500.
