NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Brocade Communications, Applied Materials, NetApp, Blue Coat Systems, and OmniVision Technologies

PRINCETON, N.J., June 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has updated outlooks for Brocade Communications (Nasdaq: BRCD), Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT), NetApp (Nasdaq: NTAP), Blue Coat Systems (Nasdaq: BCSI), and OmniVision Technologies (Nasdaq: OVTI).  

Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams has leveraged a decades-long career as a semiconductor industry insider to deliver in-depth insights and winning stock selections for his newsletter subscribers.  McWilliams' Next Inning model portfolio has posted huge gains, returning 307% since its inception in 2002, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011.  

Despite predictions from dozens of Wall Street analysts and tech sector research firms, McWilliams was the only one to forecast Intel's earnings report correctly, with estimates that matched the chip giant's Q1 results and Q2 guidance perfectly.  Along with McWilliams' Intel forecast and his bullish calls ahead of strong earnings by Apple and Qualcomm, Next Inning subscribers have access to dozens more as McWilliams analyzes all the data from the recent earnings season and identifies the big winners for the second half of 2011.

Trial subscribers will also receive McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech series, offering in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Have Wall Street analysts lowered estimates for Brocade too far, setting up the potential for upside earnings surprises in upcoming quarters?  Is Brocade well positioned for long-term success or should investors hope for a buyout offer?  Which tech companies does McWilliams think are most likely to make an offer? What one change could Brocade institute that would move its stock price up as much as 50%?

-- What does the planned acquisition of Varian add to the Applied Materials story?  With Wall Street's outlook for Applied Materials too conservative, could shares rise 30% to 50% this year?  What does McWilliams believe will happen to drive that upside?

-- Why didn't shares of NetApp pop upwards after its positive earnings announcement?  At this stage of the game, does it make more sense for investors who are interested in the storage sector to buy NetApp or EMC?

-- On February 12, when Blue Coat was trading for $31.07, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers to avoid any temptation to buy.  The stock has moved sharply lower since then.  Why has its price weakened so much?  What two companies are quietly hollowing out Blue Coat's value proposition?  Which of these two companies does McWilliams think investors should consider buying?

-- After OmniVision modestly topped expectations for its April quarter and guided slightly above expectations for the July quarter, why did shares fail to move substantially higher?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 307% since its inception versus 43% for the S&P 500.
