NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Advanced Micro Devices, Fairchild Semiconductor, Flextronics, Maxim Integrated Products, and Skyworks Solutions

PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD), Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS), Flextronics (Nasdaq: FLEX), Maxim Integrated Products (Nasdaq: MXIM), and Skyworks Solutions (Nasdaq: SWKS).

Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams was named the winner in both the Forbes and AOL stock picking contests for newsletter writers in 2010.  His top pick for 2010 moved up over 132% for the year, and Next Inning free trial subscribers now have access to his top picks for 2011, a total of ten stocks that McWilliams sees as the big winners this year.  The Next Inning model portfolio is up 366% since it was started in 2002, about nine times the 41% return for the S&P 500 over the same period.

Steven Halpern, the editor of The Stock Advisors report, which tracks 75 subscription newsletters and publishes the AOL Top Picks Report, had this to say about McWilliams:

"I have followed the financial newsletter industry for 28 years, reading hundreds of financial advisors. Without doubt, Paul McWilliams offers among the most in-depth, highest quality and well-reasoned research available in the marketplace. I've rarely ever seen an advisor who is as knowledgeable -- and accurate -- regarding the sectors and stocks that they follow."

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Why might the forecast for AMD be less dire than Wall Street suspects?  What is unique about AMD's positioning in China?  What factors are working against AMD right now and is AMD likely to overcome them and reward investors?  What is McWilliams' fair value range for AMD and how much upside does it represent?

-- A quarter ago, McWilliams wrote that Wall Street had failed to recognize the significant improvement Fairchild had made to its balance sheet during the prior four quarters and that Fairchild stock was notably undervalued. Since then, Fairchild stock has gone up by 63%.  Does McWilliams expect Fairchild to post further upside from here?  What is the primary risk facing Fairchild right now?

-- McWilliams encouraged Next Inning readers to buy Flextronics in late 2008 when the price fell to $1.50 and lower.  At the time, he explained carefully that Wall Street had an unrealistic view of the risks imposed by Flextronics' heavily leveraged balance sheet and that once the company proved it would easily manage its debt, the price would recover sharply.  Is Wall Street still weighing these risks too heavily?  Will Flextronics' strategy in China allow it to compete effectively and grow its market share?  Why does McWilliams think 2011 will be a very good year for the EMS sector where Flextronics is a clear leader?  What is McWilliams' fair value range for Flextronics and how much upside does it represent?

-- In early 2009, McWilliams pounded the table for Maxim pointing repeatedly to a strong dividend that at the time represented a yield of better than 6%.  With the price of Maxim now nearly double what it was then, what does he see as the primary risk factors going forward?  Does he expect Maxim to continue its record of outperforming analysts' expectations during the coming fiscal year?  What does McWilliams view as a fair value price for Maxim?

-- Will a rising tide in demand for RF semiconductors benefit Skyworks and its peers in the segment?  Is Wall Street's earnings outlook for Skyworks' current fiscal year too low?  Would McWilliams be adding shares of Skyworks ahead of its upcoming earnings report or should investors be looking to rivals Anadigics, RF Micro Devices and TriQuint instead?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 366% since its inception versus 41% for the S&P 500.
