• 4 Speculative Tech Stocks to Watch as Markets Get Frothy

  By Chris Lau - March 21, 2013 | Tickers: AMAT, GRPN, NVDA, OCZ

  The unprecedented rise in the stock market is making it difficult for investors to differentiate between good companies and good investments. In the technology sector, stocks tend to be a leading indicator on economic health. The Nasdaq index is up 5.74% year-to-date, as measured by the PowerShares QQQ ETF. By contrast, the broader S&P 500 index is up 9.81% in 2013, appearing to outperform the technology sector more »

• 2 Tech Outperformers To Buy

  By Piyush Arora - February 13, 2013 | Tickers: INTC, OCZ, SNDK, STX, WDC

  Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has been receiving a lot of attention lately, mainly due to its strong ultra-book sales and its upcoming Haswell series. Analysts at Lazard recently upgraded Intel citing that ultrabook sales will further increase in 2013, which will further drive up Intel’s revenue from its mobile processors. But Intel is not my stock pick. Ultrabooks come equipped with Solid State Drives (SSD), and strong ultrabook sales present more »

• The Computer Storage Industry Remains a Value Investor’s Goldmine, Regardless of Recent Gains

  By Brian Nichols - December 6, 2012 | Tickers: OCZ, STX, WDC

  After months of consistent loss, three of the most tracked computer storage device stocks moved higher by a significant margin. Some investors are now wondering what’s moving these stocks, and if it’s time to buy?

  What’s Moving?

  Company	Ticker	Wednesday Gains
  OCZ Technology	(NASDAQ: OCZ)	12.50%
  Western Digital	(NASDAQ: WDC)	8.10%

• Solid-State-Disk Companies Get the Headlines, But Hard-Disk-Drive Companies Present the Value

  By Brian Nichols - November 29, 2012 | Tickers: OCZ, STX, WDC

  With weak PC sales guidance from Intel, Hewlett Packard, and virtually every company that has a good grasp on the health of the industry, we have seen weakness in computer storage device companies. This industry consists of companies presenting deep value, and should become great investments over the long-term.  With that being said I am looking at three companies, one solid state disk (SSD) company and two hard disk drive more »

• One Company with 83% Returns, and the Fireworks will Continue

  By Piyush Arora - October 5, 2012 | Tickers: OCZ, STX, WDC

  Whenever I went into the store to buy an ultrabook, the high prices always scared me away. This week I purchased an HP ultrabook that cost me around $900, and while some may say that this isn’t cheap, I’d say it’s cheap on a comparative basis. Solid state drives (SSDs) play a major role in making these machines lighter, more energy efficient, and give them nearly 44 more »

• The Implications of OCZ Technology's Market Price

  By Nikhil Shamapant - October 4, 2012 | Tickers: FIO, LSI, MSFT, OCZ

  OCZ Technology(NASDAQ: OCZ) is worth around 400 million to 500 million in an acquisition, really depending on the value of it's Indilinx subsidiary. On its own, however, it's worth a heck of a lot less.

  For an investor, valuation is all-important. The price you buy is the permanent determining factor in your future investment returns, so it's important to make sure you're getting a deal more »

• A Tough Road Ahead for Micron Technology

  By Harsh Chauhan - October 2, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, MU, OCZ

  Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) has been trying to effect a turnaround for some time but its efforts aren’t bearing much fruit. A mix of low pricing and falling demand pushed Micron deeper into the red in its recently-reported fourth quarter, and it failed to match consensus estimates.

  What Happened

  On one hand, the company was expecting that its DRAM business will be back on its feet, driven by improved more »

• Data Storage Paupers: Tomorrow's Princes?

  By T. M. Loyd - September 25, 2012 | Tickers: DTLK, LSI, OCZ, STEC

  Where are the bargains in a multi-billion dollar industry that has had decades to develop? Data storage is seeing renewed interest as the digital age zips forward and cloud computing becomes the foundation of the Escher house the Web is building. There are definitely cheap data storage stocks out there -- but are the businesses behind them primed to grow, or is it smoke and shadows?

• My Favorite Growth Stock Was a Big Mistake

  By Nikhil Shamapant - September 19, 2012 | Tickers: FIO, LSI, OCZ |

  Back in June, I took a look at a seemingly magnificent growth stock opportunity. In my article The Cheapest Growth Stock I had ever seen, I said OCZ Technology Corporation (NASDAQ: OCZ), I said that OCZ Technology Corporation was my favorite growth stock because of 4 major factors. First, it was in a stellar growth industry: solid state memory. Second, the company had a quality management and was making some more »

• Keep an Eye on this Potential Turnaround

  By Harsh Chauhan - September 19, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, MU, OCZ

  Chipmaker Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) has had a wild ride this year. The stock kicked off 2012 on a decent note, but has been beaten down almost 25% over the last six months. The company’s performance has been handicapped by weak pricing of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and NAND products. An oversupply in the industry has pinched Micron hard, leading it to post losses for four consecutive quarters more »

• Would you Speculate on This Value Play?

  By Harsh Chauhan - September 7, 2012 | Tickers: MU, OCZ, STX

  I have been an OCZ Technology (NASDAQ: OCZ) bull for some time now. The reason – the company plies its trade in the fast growing solid-state drive (SSD) industry and has seen its business zoom towards the sky over the past couple of years. Apart from this, I really like the way OCZ had been improving its cost structure and expanding its gross margin as you can see in the graph more »

• Profiting from the shift to Ultrabooks

  By Piyush Arora - August 28, 2012 | Tickers: OCZ, SNDK, STX, TOSBF, WDC

  The first thing that comes to my mind when I go to purchase any electronic gadget is, how many months before it becomes outdated. That’s the same business practice that perhaps, most businesses earn their revenues from. I purchased a laptop nearly a year ago, thinking that this choice might just turn out to be future proof. Yet here I am looking at the new range of ultrabooks, which more »

• A Lesson or Two from OCZ

  By Callum Turcan - August 3, 2012 | Tickers: INTC, OCZ, STX, WDC

  The Beginning

  Shares of OCZ Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: OCZ) have fluctuated more than John Kerry in the 2004 election over the past few weeks. Prior to releasing its earnings, shares of OCZ quickly climbed up on expectations its earnings would beat.

  The Earnings

  OCZ's earnings weren't so great. Analysts called for EPS to come in at a loss of $.12. It didn't, it came in much more »

• Making Hard Cash from Hard-Drives? Keep an Eye on the Pitfalls

  By Harsh Chauhan - July 30, 2012 | Tickers: OCZ, STX, WDC

  When I look at Seagate Technology (NASDAQ: STX) and Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) together, I am reminded of The Dark Knight Rises (yeah, I went for the last movie of the Trilogy last week). To understand why, let’s go back one quarter.

  The movie begins

  Seagate was coming off a great earnings report and the stock recorded impressive gains. Like Batman, Seagate did the hard work of fighting the more »

• Is OCZ Worth your Money?

  By Keki Fatakia - July 17, 2012 | Tickers: AMZN, FIO, LSI, OCZ, VMW

  OCZ Technology Group (NASDAQ: OCZ), whose products mainly include solid-state drives (SSDs), came out with a wider than expected fiscal first quarter loss, even though it did report a robust growth in revenue. Since then, Wall Street gave a severe pounding to the stock price. So is Wall Street’s reaction to OCZ’s performance justified?

  Well, let’s take a brief look at what OCZ produced in its first more »

  By Harsh Chauhan - July 13, 2012 | Tickers: INTC, MU, OCZ

  OCZ Technology (NASDAQ: OCZ) has been virtually hammered into the ground after a gaping miss in the first quarter. The company clocked revenue of $113.6 million along with a loss of 17 cents, thereby failing to meet Mr. Market’s top and bottom line expectations of $115.7 million and 12 cents loss, respectively.

  An upbeat outlook for the ongoing quarter and the fiscal year couldn’t save OCZ more »

• 4 Undervalued Stocks to Watch

  By Nikhil Shamapant - July 9, 2012 | Tickers: AFL, KFN, OCZ, SDR

  The investing world is full of surprises. One day a stock is down 20% on an earnings conference call, the next day the stock is up 30% on news of a new contract agreement. While the average investor would look at all of this volatility as risk, an opportunist should use volatility as a time to buy. In fact, in these markets, there are five companies in particular that I more »
