NI Technology Updates Outlooks for EMC, Cree, Oclaro, and Applied Micro Circuits

PRINCETON, N.J., June 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has updated outlooks for EMC (NYSE: EMC), Cree (Nasdaq: CREE), Oclaro (Nasdaq: OCLR), and Applied Micro Circuits (Nasdaq: AMCC).  

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 300% since its inception in 2002, and he has been picking more potential big winners for 2011.  

McWilliams has been right on target this year with his predictions on the direction of the market.  Immediately following the tragic earthquake in Japan, Next Inning published several special weekend updates predicting it would negatively impact global economic activity in the near-term, that supply shortages would emerge in Q2 and that electricity rationing would complicate Japan's recovery.  All of these predictions have now materialized and, as a result, tech stock prices have declined.

McWilliams believes the recent decline in tech stock prices present opportunities for gains as we move into the July earnings season.  To help Next Inning readers make better informed decisions as to what stocks to consider buying now, Next Inning published an updated report covering ten stocks McWilliams thinks will outperform the market as a whole.

In addition to a special report updating McWilliams' top-10 picks for 2011, trial subscribers will also receive real-time trade alerts, daily updates, and McWilliams' highly acclaimed State of Tech series, offering in-depth, sector-by-sector coverage of over 65 leading tech companies.  The Q2 State of Tech report will be published in a series of updates beginning in late June.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- In January, McWilliams advised Next Inning readers to sell NetApp and use the proceeds to buy EMC.  Since then, the price of NetApp has declined 11% and the price of EMC has moved up nearly 10%.  Going forward from here, does McWilliams have a positive outlook for NetApp, or does he believe that larger rival EMC offers a much better opportunity for investors?

-- Falling LED prices and threats of Asian competition have weighed heavily on Cree.  Should investors assume this will lead to persistently lower profit margins for Cree or is the company taking steps that will lead to a rebound in profitability?  Between Cree's initiatives to lower cost and the fact that lower prices lead to faster adoption rates by consumers, might lower prices actually lead to an upside for Cree later this year?

-- What does Verizon's LTE build-out mean for networking firms like Oclaro?  Does Verizon's LTE build-out suggest a wider "halo" effect that will lead to a wave of upgrades on other networks and in data centers?

-- Why has the outlook for Applied Micro been lowered?  Are analysts missing the potential for a rebound in demand for Applied Micro products?  What leads McWilliams to believe Applied Micro's profit margins will rebound sharply during the second half of its fiscal year?  What are McWilliams' estimated fair value and one year target price ranges for Applied Micro and how much upside do they represent from current prices?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 300% since its inception versus 42% for the S&P 500.
