Former Wall Street Favorites Sink to Single Digits

<> The following includes a growing list of companies whose stock are trading in single digits despite a market cap exceeding $5B as investors no longer need to venture into the minefield of micro-cap stocks for tremendous volatility and trading opportunities. It is not meant to be a complete list, but represents well-known companies across a variety of sectors which offer the potential for high returns once the current market pessimism passes and economic growth returns.

TSM is a BUY Graphic_rating_buy TSM
24%
 +7.20%
in 709 days

I've chosen to invest due to a number of factors:

1. High return on equity (compared to industry)

2. Low debt to equity ratio

3. PEG < 1

4. Relatively low institutional ownership

5. Increasing growth, partially due to AMD going fab-lite

6. Extremely efficient management (high inventory turnover and revenue per empoyee)

 

This is a long-term buy with low downside and a relatively greater upside.

The company is expected to benefit from strong PC demand. P/E 16.42, industry 32.42. Very strong operating margins of 34.87%, industry 0.10%. There is a risk of the credit crunch affecting the holiday season.

Merrill Turns Cautious On Chips, Foundries; Many Downgrades; Stocks Swoon
N/A

Bank of America/Merrill Lynch chip analyst Sumit Dhanda this morning turned cautious on semiconductor stocks, downgrading a slew of stocks; his colleague Daniel Heyler made a comparable on the foundries, lower ratings on a number of stocks.

<>“We are downgrading our view on the sector given unfavorable indications from our cyclical framework,” he writes. “In particular, our industry model suggests that following a period of rapid replenishment of inventory and normalization of semi shipments to true consumption levels, inventories in the supply chain are approaching a level suggesting a modest<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Why two semiconductor companies bucked the downtrend
Wednesday the market sold off in the last hour and major indexes ended the day with losses. Semiconductor indexes were underwater pretty much the entire day. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (IGW) ended down 1.72%.

Two well-known semiconductor companies were able to buck the downtrend and close with gains. Who were they and what were the reasons? Are there clues as to else might benefit?

Buried in the semiconductor supply chain are the companies that actually produce the chips for the firms that do much of the design work and handle sales to end users and OEMs.
