NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Applied Micro Circuits, Microsoft, Harmonic, Maxim Integrated Products and MEMC Electronic Materials

PRINCETON, N.J., July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published its earnings previews and updated outlooks for Applied Micro Circuits (Nasdaq: AMCC), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Harmonic (Nasdaq: HLIT), Maxim Integrated Products (Nasdaq: MXIM) and MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE: WFR).

Editor Paul McWilliams has displayed uncanny accuracy in identifying winners and losers during this challenging and historic period for the markets. After calling the rally that started in March 2009 to the day and providing Next Inning readers with buy recommendations that in some cases returned in excess of 400%, he advised readers on May 3, 2010 that the markets were heading for a correction.  By the end of the day, the correction started.

After a month of muddling through the correction, McWilliams advised readers it was time to accumulate shares and prepare for a July rally.  As investors know, the rally he called started on July 6th.  When does McWilliams predict the market will peak in this rally and how does he see it performing during the balance of 2010?  Investors can learn that and more with a Next Inning trial subscription.

For Next Inning readers it's been another very successful earnings season.  To kick things off, McWilliams again provided his estimates for Intel, which despite being substantially above the highest estimates provided by the 41 Wall Street analysts covering the stock, were, for the fifth consecutive quarter, within a rounding error of what Intel reported.  From there, it just kept getting better.  Next Inning has published McWilliams' thoughts on 23 companies scheduled to report quarterly results this week.  This is something investors will want to read before deciding whether to buy, sell or hold.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Since flipping to a bullish view on Applied Micro Circuits and suggesting it as a good speculative investment, the price has soared over 150%.  What caused McWilliams to flip to a positive view after berating the company for years? Based on an in depth valuation analysis, what is McWilliams' fair value range for the stock?

-- What does it mean for investors that Microsoft has recently signed an architecture license agreement with ARM Holdings?  Are pundits right to speculate that Microsoft will use the license to develop a new processor for the enterprise version of its Bing search engine?  What new market does McWilliams believe Microsoft may be targeting?  How might this news impact mobile computing rivals Apple and Google?

-- With Maxim up more than 50% since McWilliams suggested it was a good buy, what are the near and long-term risks facing Maxim that investors should carefully consider ahead of its earnings report?  Does McWilliams expect the company to outperform analyst expectations when it reports the June ending quarter?  What does McWilliams see as a fair value target for the stock?

-- Does McWilliams believe that Harmonic's acquisition of Omneon will be a winner?  Why have analysts been so hard on Harmonic and why does McWilliams think they are wrong? Do new television technologies like 3D represent potential upside opportunities for Harmonic?  What is McWilliams' price objective for Harmonic during the second half?

-- After calling a pair of profitable swing trades in MEMC so far this year, is McWilliams recommending that investors jump in for another ride ahead of earnings or is it time to stay on the sidelines?
