Semiconductors & Electrical Components - Industry Outlook

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:39:18 GMT

In the past 10 years, the fundamental shift in the semiconductor industry from corporate IT to consumer demand is very important to consider. It has created a different playing field. There are more products that use semi components (MP3s, cell phones, autos, "smart" houses). Seasonal demand is now an issue, such as Christmas and the Chinese New Year. Finally, the potential exists for more commoditized products and ASP (average selling price) erosion. Firms that will out-perform in a slightly negative GDP environment include: Firms with the strongest balance sheets, such as Intel Corp. (INTC) Companies that make specialized semiconductors (i.e. chips used in dentist X rays) Firms that sell products that are technology-driven rather than[More...]

Market Commentary (02-02-09)

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 13:28:00 GMT

Bloomberg had this article out about how the U.S. housing market lost $3.3 trillion in 2008 AND that 1 in 6 people with mortgages are underwater, or 17%. It's not getting any better. We have pending home sales coming out today at 10:00AM - consensus 82.3 (range: 78.2 to 84, previous actual: 82.3). I'll be really surprised if pending sales remained "unchanged". Motor vehicle sales are also coming out (total consensus: 7.7M (range:7.3M to 8.1M, previous actual: 7.7M). This is another consensus estimate where it is also "unchanged". Whatever. You see, [More...]

Location Based Technologies: Undervalued at These Levels?

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:08:00 GMT

Location Based Technologies Inc. (OTC-BB: LBAS) is one micro-cap company that may be worth watching. The manufacturer of personal GPS tracking gear and software’s industry is expected to grow at an annual compounded rate of 104% through 2012, according to a research report by RNCOS. This equates to substantial increases in sales over the next few years along with a higher valuation for companies like Location Based Technologies. Revenues are expected to jump from $63 million in 2009 to $1.1 billion in 2013 as the market for personal GPS locators is embraced by concerned parents, cautious pet owners, and prudent employers. Meanwhile, earnings before interest in taxes could increase from $1 million in 2009 to $198 million in 2013. Assuming a discount rate of 5% and a 0% terminal growth rate, this means the cash flow in[More...]

Analyst Comments: Hess Corp, Mylan, AvalonBay, Abbott Labs, Trimble, NCR Corp, Vertex Pharma, American Tower, Sony, Washington Federal, Boston Properties, Johnson & Johnson, Matsushita, Deckers, Mechel Steel, Kroger

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:32:00 GMT

Despite the recent commodity-price induced weakness that has helped improve valuation, we are keeping our Hold recommendation unchanged for Hess Corp. (HES) shares at this stage. The near-term outlook for the stock in particular and the overall group in general remains unfavorable. We will revisit our outlook for the stock once early signs of stability emerge in the crude oil market, which we believe will be sooner than later. We continue to see upstream momentum at Hess on the back of the company's leverage to high crude oil prices and a large inventory of projects in Brazil, Australia Libya and Ghana. On September 4, Hess Corporation announced that the Nimblefoot-1 exploration well on Australia's Northwest Shelf discovered natural gas. The well encountered 93 feet of net gas pay. Nimblefoot-1 is the third of four initial exploration[More...]

Keep An Eye on XLF, XHB, XLY and XLE for Rally Strength

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:02:00 GMT

We discussed about the VIX and I gave my opinion that the market could turn last week. For the last few days, we've been seeing rallies in the market, especially in the weak oversold sectors like Financials, Homebuilders and Consumer Discretionary. We've also seen continued sell-off in Coal and Steel sectors after brief spell of consolidation. As I said on 9 Jul, watch for a retest to go short or get some Put Options. It retested and broke down again last week, hope you caught some of the action.What about the week ahead? The major trend is still to the downside and watch for resistance at 1270 for the S&P 500 index. Also watch the Financials (XLF), Homebuilders (XHB), Consumer Discretionary (XLY) and Energy (XLE)[More...]
