  • Three Mid-Cap Stocks To Keep An Eye On

    By Fani Kelesidou - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: HLF, SWKS, UTHR

    Though the S&P 500 is up nearly 12% year-to-date, keeping investors in high spirits, it's the S&P Mid-cap 400 that's really on fire. The index – which serves as a performance barometer for companies with a market capitalization in the range of $1 billion to roughly $13 billion- has been scoring eye-whopping returns for over 15 years now, bringing out the green-eyed monster in Wall Street's more »

    By Harsh Chauhan - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, SSNLF, SWKS

    After struggling so far this year, radio frequency (RF) solutions provider Skyworks Solutions’ (NASDAQ: SWKS) second-quarter report and subsequent outlook might just provide the stock some much needed impetus.

    By Harsh Chauhan - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, SWKS

    Simply put, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has lost its wheels this year. The stock’s almost 24% down and something or the other is always present to compound its misery. With so many spotlights on it, every piece of news is magnified a hundred times and unfortunately, the positives have been hard to come by. It all started when the company disappointed the Street in January, and since then, there’s more »

    By Robert Hanley - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, SWKS

  • A Small-Cap Chip Maker With Upside Potential

    By Daniel James - March 29, 2013 | Tickers: BRCM, QCOM, RFMD, SWKS

    The biggest story in tech, if not in business, over the last few years has been the smartphone war between Samsung and Apple, as these two giants have been duking it out for dominance of this huge market. Yet, companies that are lucky enough to count these two among their clients are uniquely positioned to profit whoever wins the war. Most articles on this subject focus on the larger chip more »

    If investors had a magic mirror that could give them the answer to the question "which stock is the perfect stock?", then investing would have been a piece of cake. But, in the Wall Street world it does not work like that. It takes time and effort to find a stock that is worth your money.

  • There’s More to This Chipmaker Than Just Apple

    By Harsh Chauhan - January 31, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, SWKS

    “Apple Cuts Orders for iPhone Parts” said the Wall Street Journal  a few weeks back, and what followed was a beat down of all things Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). The Cupertino-based giant saw its shares slip below the $500 mark that day and component suppliers, as always, shared Apple’s pain.

    But, as Fool analyst Evan Niu rightly pointed out, Apple couldn’t have possibly sold 65 million iPhones in the more »

  • Apple’s Hurt, But This Apple Play Is on a Roll

    By Harsh Chauhan - January 25, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, SWKS

    There must be many who are aggrieved by Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) latest miss, while those who have been after the Cupertino-based behemoth’s head ever since the latest iPhone came out are enjoying their moment of triumph. A 29% jump in iPhone sales and a 48% increase in iPad sales weren’t good enough to satisfy the highly optimistic targets set by analysts, and the result was a massive more »

  • An Apple Play Basket for the New Year

    By Harsh Chauhan - December 28, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, OVTI, SWKS, TQNT

    I like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) for two reasons -- 1. It revolutionized smartphones as we know them, and 2. It opened up new areas for investors to make money (apart from an investment in Apple itself). The company has been under pressure ever since it released the iPhone 5 for some reason or the other, and has seen its year-to-date return decline to a “lowly” 26% as of this writing. But more »

    By Harsh Chauhan - November 5, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, SWKS

    It seems like anything and everything that’s related to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) nowadays has a negative halo around it. On one hand, shares of Apple have been beaten down consistently over the past month and a half, while on the other, component suppliers for Apple’s products have also shared the pain.

  • 3 Mid-Caps with Huge Cash Flow

    By Chad Henage - October 29, 2012 | Tickers: CRUS, MXIM, SWKS

    In my opinion, there is nothing like a company with huge free cash flow. While analysts and many investors focus on earnings per share, free cash flow tends to be a better measure of what a company can return to shareholders. In most cases, companies use free cash flow for both share buybacks and dividends. Since both of these actions deliver value to shareholders, some investors start with free cash more »

  • Consider Buying Apple and a Few Apple Plays Before the Good Times Begin

    By Harsh Chauhan - October 6, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, BRCM, CRUS, OVTI, SWKS

    It’s been around three weeks since the iPhone 5 was officially introduced to the world. But, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has faced flak from all over due to its lack of innovation in the iPhone 5, the Maps controversy, connection problems and what not. In addition, the company sold “only” 5 million iPhones over the first weekend this time, which missed analyst expectations by some distance.
