NI Technology Updates Outlooks for Intel, Motorola, Nokia, Qualcomm, Harmonic, and National Semiconductor

PRINCETON, N.J., -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), Motorola (NYSE: MOT), Nokia (NYSE: NOK), Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM), Harmonic (Nasdaq: HLIT), and National Semiconductor (NYSE: NSM).

Prior to the July earnings season, McWilliams predicted we would see an unusually strong rally for tech stocks and that Intel would lead it off by reporting a huge upside surprise with revenues reaching as high as $8B. As one reader commented, "It was almost as though McWilliams wrote the script for the Intel conference call." Last week, McWilliams published his updated forecast for Intel's third quarter and guess what, he again finds himself in disagreement with the covering analysts.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- Throughout 2009, Wall Street has radically underestimated Intel's revenue and earnings potential. However, McWilliams's estimates have been dead on. What leads McWilliams to believe Intel will report Q3 revenue notably above the high side of its revised guidance? What event does McWilliams think will finally put Intel in a bullish light on Wall Street?

-- Motorola has more than doubled since McWilliams called it a good speculative buy in December. McWilliams wrote Monday that the stock could double or even triple from here, but that its fate rests on a couple of events. What are those events?

-- Why has Nokia been a disappointment for investors in 2009? Is the stock now attractively priced for accumulation?

-- What are McWilliams price targets for Qualcomm in Q1 2010 and mid-2010? What are his current fair value and accumulation ranges?

-- Will Harmonic's recent announcements of customer "wins" translate to meaningful revenue in the near term?

-- What are the real economics of National Semi's SolarMagic product? Is SolarMagic likely to win a significant chunk of the solar energy market?
