McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:
-- On July 26th, McWilliams suggested selling Micron at its then current price of $7.95. After suggesting readers buy Micron in June with it dipped to $7.20, McWilliams explained DRAM prices were softening and it was time to cash out. With the price now below $6, does McWilliams think it's time to pick up some shares?
-- Due to its product and end market mix, International Rectifier has been hit very hard by declining demand. Are analysts right in their forecasts for a very strong recovery in fiscal 2013? Does McWilliams expect that International Rectifier could rally all the way to the high-$30s in 2012?
-- While acknowledging Ixys' improved execution, McWilliams remained cautious in his October 30 earnings preview and suggested that investors consider hedging Ixys exposure. IXYS opened October 31 at $13.75, and is now 13% lower. Is it now time to buy Ixys, or should investors be waiting for the stock to pull back further?
-- Does McWilliams view Microsemi's recent acquisitions as good strategic decisions that were made at reasonably attractive prices? What one factor may cast a shadow over Microsemi in the near term? At what price would McWilliams consider adding shares of Microsemi?
-- In a recent report, McWilliams writes, "If it weren't for bad luck, ON Semi would have had no luck at all in 2011." What happened to ON Semi this year and what has the company done to bounce back? Is ON Semi poised for a strong rebound in 2012? Should investors consider adding shares at current levels?
