  • This Chipmaker Is Shaping Up for a Good Year

    By Daniel James - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, NVDA, QCOM

    It hasn’t been an easy period for NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) in the last few years, as weakness in PC sales hurt the chipmaker’s revenue. However, lately things seem to be looking up for the company. In the latest earnings report released last week, the company delivered earnings that came in ahead of the consensus. Additionally, the firm announced its plans to return more cash to shareholders.

    By Dave Zaegel - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, ARMH, INTC, NVDA

    If you haven't been paying attention to Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) stock lately, you've missed its run. The stock that had been beaten down below $20 has risen up to almost $24 in a short time, driven by its most recent earnings results on April 16. What did the company say? 'I'm not dead yet.'

  • These Heavily Shorted Companies Are Poised For A Run

    By Jayson Derrick - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, GMCR, JCP, SODA

    New strategy, new direction, new outlook.

    Retail stocks benefited from a better than expected sales number on May 13. U.S food and retail sales rose 0.1% in April compared to March, while retail sales were 3.7% above April 2012 figures. This is obviously positive news for the entire sector, especially for J.C Penney’s (NYSE: JCP) stock which currently has a 49% short float.

  • How Weak is This Semi conductor Company ?

    By tarun bachhawat - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, INTC, NVDA

    Graphical chip processor, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) recently reported its first quarter earnings, with revenue beating the analysts' revenue estimates. The company was able to avoid the down surge of its sales due to fall in the PC shipments because high-end computer buyers are willing to spend on its new processors for better graphics.

  • What Went Wrong With Advanced Micro Devices?

    By Shas Dey - May 8, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, INTC, NVDA

    Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) recently reported its first quarter results, which were very discouraging. The company had a rough 2012 and reported an $1.1 billion operating loss, almost wiping out the profits generated in the last two years ($471 million in 2010 and $491 million in 2011).

    AMD has been affected by declining PC sales, but it is slowly transforming its business. It has a target of increasing more »

    By Nur Tarkak - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, ARMH, DELL, HP, INTC, NVDA, QCOM, TSM

    Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) has distinguished itself over years as Intel’s (NASDAQ: INTC) sole rival in the PC microprocessor market. Despite never overtaking the chip giant, AMD has managed to keep its own share of desktop and server sales. Over the last decade, it has gone through massive transformations and continues to expand its businesses to remain competitive. The company now faces a more volatile future as mobile more »

  • The PC Is Dead: Buy WinTel

    By Reuben Brewer - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, INTC, MSFT

    IDC, a technology research firm, recently reported that personal computer (PC) shipments were off by nearly 14% in the first quarter. That's an unprecedented fall that took just about every PC related stock's share price with it. While it may look like tablet computers are killing PCs, that doesn't mean Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) should be left for dead.

  • 4 Companies Pursuing the Right Course of Action

    By Nihar Patel - April 27, 2013 | Tickers: ADBE, AMD, INTC, STX

    Transitions are scary because there is no right thing to do. The company has to take a chance and see where it leads. That is even harder when a new path will take years to fully evaluate. Nothing will be gained if nothing is ventured. Making a judgment long before a plan fully plays itself out is how legends are made.

  • AMD Powers the Heart of the Next Console Generation

    By Nihar Patel - April 27, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, INTC, NVDA

    AMD (NYSE: AMD) isn't joking when it comes to a turnaround. I expected the company to sit on its hands and have success come to it. Sarcasm aside, I'm surprised that AMD’s good news came from winning a place in the Playstation 4 and the Xbox 720. I'm even more surprised that it will utilize a Radeon GPU instead of something from NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA). As more »

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, DELL, HPQ, INTC, NVDA

    Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock has fallen over the last year against a rising market, owing to its flat financials and amid concerns about the declining PC industry (the company provides components, most notably graphics processors, for personal and mobile computing devices). In the fiscal year ending in January 2013, Nvidia actually managed 7% revenue growth compared to the previous fiscal year, though higher operating expenses left the company with more »

  • These 5 Questions Need Answers

    By Chad Henage - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, ARMH, INTC, TXN

    Instead of Houston we have a problem, maybe the call should be Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) we have a problem. I've been a fan of Intel until recently, but the company's recent earnings look worrisome. I love stocks with growth and income, so you would think Intel's nearly 4% yield, and 11% expected earnings growth, would be right up my alley. However, when I read their earnings report more »

  • 3 Stocks to Buy After Last Week's Earnings

    By Brian Nichols - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, CLB, TSM

    In the midst of earnings season it is easy to bypass those companies with strong fundamental performance. Often we see those that trade considerably higher and assume that it was due to incredible fundamental performance. Sometimes this is incorrect, and in this piece I am looking at three under-the-radar companies that look attractive following earnings.

    This Stock May be Expensive, but it’s Worth it!
