• Over-Confidence Continue to Chip Away At Earnings

  By Nauman Aly - May 18, 2013 | Tickers: INTC, MSFT, QCOM

  With the not-so-positive recent earnings report from Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), was the company holding back information from investors, or was it more a matter of overconfidence and working with blinders on at the top?

  Intel, the company that at one time held a 95% market share of the global PC-based processors, has endured a proverbial fall from grace of late. In fact, the firm's current earnings report clearly shows more »

• Dividend Stocks Are The New Bonds

  By Timothy Green - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: INTC, MRK, MSFT

  The claim that bonds are safe is a pervasive one. But is it true? It turns out that there are two types of risk associated with bonds. The first, default risk, is the root of the apparent safety of bonds. The likelihood of the US government or major US corporations defaulting on their debt is as close to zero as you can get. But a second kind of risk, interest more »

• Cisco Flexes its Muscles

  By Robert Ciura - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: CSCO, HPQ, INTC

  Technology giant Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), maker of networking switches and other Internet protocol devices, is a stock on the comeback trail. After spending much of the past few years wallowing in the mid-teens, due to recurring disappointing earnings results, the company’s shares are on the upswing after a slew of corporate developments showing the company has gotten its groove back.

  Chief Executive John Chambers certainly took advantage of more »

  We track quarterly 13F filings from hedge funds and other notable investors as part of our work researching investing strategies (we have found, for example, that the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds generate an average excess return of 18 percentage points per year). 13Fs can also be useful for tracking individual fund managers' activity over time and therefore serving as a free source of initial investment ideas more »

• Are These Dow Companies Buying Back Wisely?

  By Nick Chiu - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: KO, XOM, INTC, IBM, PG

  Companies use share repurchase to reduce the number of shares on the market, thus to increase the value of shares or to support the share price. Once the shares are repurchased, the company can either retire the shares or keep them as treasury stock. As a conservative investor, I like to see companies that repurchase the shares when the price is undervalued or depressed and when free cash flow continues more »

• Valuing the Computer Chip-Making Industry With 3 Ratios

  By Michael Nolan - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: AMD, INTC

  One of the most common company comparisons of the past few years that I’ve stumbled upon is between Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and AMD (NYSE: AMD) – two of the leaders in the computer chip industry. Of course, Intel is ahead of AMD in the race. However, with lots of information out on the table about these two companies, how do their valuations compare? While there are hundreds of things to more »

• Will Intel’s Silvermont SoC Replace ARM’s Dominance in the Mobile Processor Market?

  By Veeksha Rao - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: ARMH, INTC, QCOM

  The Silvermont is Intel’s (NASDAQ: INTC) last word thus far on low-power processing. Put simply, this top-to-bottom redesigned Atom processor is singly targeted at challenging ARM (NASDAQ: ARMH) and its licensees in the smartphone and tablet segment.

  Announced on Businesswire on May 6^th, 2013, Silvermont is a redefined version of the Atom processor, a sluggish and crash-prone processor that I still have on one of my smaller laptops more »

• Is Intel Moving Closer To Producing Chips For Apple?

  By Marcus Vilkas - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, INTC, QCOM

  There have been many rumors going on between Intel and Apple, but a freshly released document from Reuters triggers the curiosity again. Reuters announced on March 7, 2013 that Intel's next chief executive officer is very likely to lead the company into a contract manufacturing business, a tactical change that can result in a deal with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). This shift is a strategic movement that could provide Intel more »

• Why You Should Be Bearish About NVIDIA

  By Harsh Chauhan - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: INTC, NVDA, QCOM

  2012 was not a good year for NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), as the stock was down in double-digits and failed to live up to the expectations of many. However, it seems that the company is realizing its potential this year and the much-awaited breakout is finally here as shares are up almost 20% year-to-date.

  NVIDIA’s momentum received a shot in the arm after the company released first-quarter results last week more »

• What I Bought and Sold This Quarter

  By Lee Samaha - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: COF, CHKP, FAST, INTC, PPG

  I would rather forget last month. After nine months of gains, I hit a nasty double digit loss. In truth, this sort of thing was inevitable and the preceding months were as much a part of the process as last month was. The previous month’s write-up and links to others can be found here. I do this stuff because I happen to believe that anyone writing about investment should more »

• Intel's Not Dead Yet

  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.'

  Intel met estimates. No surprising upside. No disappointments. Many questions still remain, but more »

• Finally, Intel Looks Interesting

  By Diane Alter - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: FB, INTC, MSFT

  Time and again, marketers preach that mobile is going to be huge. If you thought it already is, there's still plenty of room for more growth. Data shows the U.S. smartphone market is only tapped about halfway. In Q1 of 2013, of the 310 million people in the U.S., 235 million used mobile devices, but only 137 million used smartphones (a 58% penetration, according to comScore). That more »

• This Tech Giant Has an Amazing New Product

  By Zain Zafar - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: INTC, MSFT, NVDA

  There’s a lot of doom and gloom around the PC industry these days with many suggesting that PC’s are a dying breed as the future is expected to be dominated by mobile computing. The latest data supports the bearish view on PCs; the latest report from IDC revealed that worldwide PC shipments declined 14% year-on-year, posting the steepest decline ever. The death of the PC stick is often more »

• Yes, the PC Is Dying

  By Salvatore "Sam" Mattera - May 14, 2013 | Tickers: DELL, FB, INTC, MSFT, YHOO

  In recent months, I've written a number of posts detailing the ongoing decline of the PC. Most of these articles have solicited a flurry of negative responses from incredulous techies, skeptical that their precious PCs could ever become obsolete.

  Despite the fact that the traditional PC remains an indispensable tool right now, powerful trends are increasingly threatening the classic PC paradigm. But don’t take my word for it more »

• 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.

   

  Good numbers

   

  NVIDIA's revenue rose 3%, to $955 million from the same period last year and more »

• Technology Dividend Giants

  By Reuben Brewer - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, INTC, MSFT

  There's been a change in the technology sector over the past 10 years or so, as many once growth-oriented companies have matured. Previously viewed only for growth, tech companies can now be looked at to provide income too. The catch is that a few big payers account for the bulk of the industry's dividends.

• Sell in May? Time to Look For Quality

  By Nick Chiu - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: CHL, CSCO, INTC, QCOM

  Timing the market is almost impossible. However, as "Sell in May" talks begins, investors can expect more volatility in the coming months. If the market corrects, there are 3 solid technology stocks I would like to accumulate in the next 2-3 months, including China Mobile (NYSE: CHL), Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM), and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCONASDAQ: CSCO)).
