NI Technology Research Updates Outlooks for Ceragon Networks, STEC, Finisar, Alcatel-Lucent, and Anadigics

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks on Ceragon Networks (Nasdaq: CRNT), STEC (Nasdaq: STEC), Finisar (Nasdaq: FNSR), Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU), and Anadigics (Nasdaq: ANAD).

Next Inning readers leverage the insight you can only get from an industry insider.  Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams was a tech industry executive for more than two decades.  Not only does he know how things work from the inside and how to spot a winning business model, he also has a long and successful record of picking winning stocks.  Year to date in 2012 these picks have driven a 26% gain for the Next Inning Model Portfolio. Since its inception in 2002, the model portfolio is up over 300%.

You may not realize it, but your life has been invaded by "MEMS."  MEMS, which is short of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, are used in cars to tell air bags when to deploy, in smartphones to tell screens to display content in portrait or landscape mode and in game controllers like the Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation.  The technology is also used for the microphones in all the Apple iPhones and iPads.  However, these applications are just the tip of the iceberg.

McWilliams' latest report dissects the MEMS market from every angle, looking at recent "hot" IPO InvenSense as well as bigger players, as he identifies opportunities for investors to leverage these new developments. McWilliams' MEMS report, as well as his recent coverage of Google's bold move to enter the service provider business, have the tech world buzzing and they are now available via free trial subscription to Next Inning.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- When looking at the two major companies providing microwave backhaul technology, DragonWave and Ceragon, which does McWilliams prefer and why? What notable aspect of the Ceragon story seldom makes headlines? How does Ceragon's free cash flow compare to its reported earnings?  How has the value of Ceragon's balance sheet changed during the last year?  What price target range does McWilliams see as viable for Ceragon's stock and does it suggest there is enough upside potential to offset the risk? 

-- After his suggestion to sell STEC in 2009 when the stock was trading in the mid-$30s, McWilliams called several successful swing trades in STEC with each yielding profits in the range of 40%-60%. While there is absolutely no doubt that Solid State Drive (SSD) technology is hot today, does McWilliams think there is enough upside potential in STEC to give investors reason to gamble on another successful swing trade or maybe view STEC as a stock to buy and hold? 

-- Have analysts been right to lower fiscal 2013 estimates for Finisar or are they simply extrapolating the temporary lull in demand and ignoring the potential for a positive inflection point? What short-term issues are likely to weigh on Finisar's profit margin during its April quarter (fiscal Q4, 2012)?  What changes are likely to drive upsides starting with fiscal Q1, 2013 and accelerate during the second half of the calendar year?  Why is Finisar poised to grow its earnings much faster than it grows its revenue?  Does McWilliams' analysis suggest Finisar is notably undervalued heading into its earnings report this week?

-- What does McWilliams make of recent reports that Alcatel-Lucent may be an acquisition target for private equity firms? What three factors might make Alcatel-Lucent an attractive acquisition? Could Alcatel-Lucent shares be worth well over double what they trade for today?  Does McWilliams think it will require an acquisition to unlock this value, or can Alcatel-Lucent do it on its own?

-- What was McWilliams view of Anadigics' earnings report last week? Based on his in-depth analysis, does he view the stock's post-earnings decline as unwarranted?  When does McWilliams think Anadigic shares will rebound and to what level?  What is the Anadigics "wildcard" for 2012 that investors need to be aware of?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 309% since its inception versus 51% for the S&P 500.
