Upper management gets shaken up Graphic_rating_buy SIRF
48%
but in the long term, I see this is a great move for the company. The stocks have just adjusted for expected losses, and they have increased competition and a lagging product line. By shaking up the upper management, this gives them a new "brain" to be able to come up with interesting technology and focus more internally where they need it. Then when their new management gets up to speed, and outward focused, we can really expect great things. Mobile phones are where the money is at, and the developing world is adopting them faster than landlines.

Wipeout: SiRF's Down Graphic_rating_sell SIRF
SiRF Tech (SIRF) reported earnings the other day that were a bit disappointing. And the ensuing reaction by the stock was even more disappointing.

The company reported in-line earnings, but they were aided by a lower tax rate. The big disappointment was that they lowered revenue guidance, citing a slower than expected ramp in wireless.

This had been one of the areas that made me the most bullish. There is talk that much of the weakness stemmed from problems at Motorola (MOT), as opposed to the company losing market share or carriers losing interest in LBS.

Prime buy-out target SiRF Technology Graphic_rating_buy SIRF

SiRF chips dominate the GPS market. With the recent buy-out of Global Locate by Broadcom, I believe SiRF will share the same fate within a year or two. GPS on Cell Phone is the future, SiRF have the best chip on the market. Cell Phone Market is huge, even without a buy-out, SiRF chips will have a bright future.

Chips: UBS Turns Bullish; Upgrades Slew Of Stocks
N/A

The chip analysts at UBS turned bullish this morning, raising their ratings on a slew of stocks on the theory that the industry’s historically low utilization rates have likely troughed. UBS thinks year-over-year sales declines will likely hit bottom in the June quarter; the firm notes that “under-shipment of end consumption” should clear excess inventory over the next 1-2 quarters. While UBS sees industry revenues down 35% this year, they expect a rebound of 10% in 2010.

Three months ago, I highlighted four stocks trading below net cash. Since that time, two of those companies have been subject to buyout offers, the second coming Tuesday as the British company, CSR, offered to buy SiRF Technologies. Let us see how each has performed since, starting with SiRF.
