First of all I would like to apologize for not doing my weekend reviews this past weekend. Things were pretty hectic around my house--I am sure you know how that can be--and one thing led to another....well no excuses, but I didn't get to it! So I shall have to work double-time to get it posted this coming weekend. In fact, today is pretty rushed as well, so let me try, I know how hard it is for me to do this, but try to be brief and get a stock posted. <>I was looking through the list of top % gainers on the NASDAQ today and came across Varian Semiconductor (VSEA). I do not own any share...

Earnings Roundup: KLAC, VSEA, OPEN, AMCC, VPRT
N/A

More earnings reports this afternoon than you can shake a stick at. (Which by the way, is a pretty strange phrase. Plus, thanks to the power of the Internet, I now have the power to shake a stick at hundreds or even thousands of earnings reports at a time!)

Anyway, here’s a quick rundown on a few more:

<><>KLA-Tencor (KLAC): KLAC reported FY Q1 revenue of $343 million and non-GAAP profits of 15 cents a share; that beats the Street at $332.3 million and 2 cents. The company said the strong results reflect “a sharp increase in demand from foundry customers.” KLAC this afternoon is up 23 cents, o<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Semi Equip Stocks Lag As Intel Cuts Cap Ex; ASML Sees Q4 Revs Sequentially Lower
N/A

Semiconductor equipment stocks are lagging in today’s broadly rally, with many names trading in the red, after a bit of disappointing news buried in the generally upbeat Intel (INTC) earnings report.

Intel said it now sees capital spending for 2009 of $4.5 billion, plus or minus $100 million, which was down from previous guidance of $4.7 billion, plus or minus $200 million.

<>Cowen analyst Raj Seth asserts in a research note this morning that the reduced spending forecast for this year seems like a “minor negative,” given that the market is now more focused on 2010, with the consensus lookin<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

Varian Semi: Soleil Upgrades; Stifel Ups Ests, Target
N/A

Varian Semiconductor (VSEA) shares are trading sharply higher today after a pair of bullish analyst notes on the semiconductor equipment company.

<>
  • Soleil analyst Nikolay Tishchenko lifted his rating on the stock to Buy from Hold, while increasing his price target to $30, from $24. He writes in a research note that the upgrade reflects signs of improvement in the memory market and a 135% sequential quarterly increase in orders reported July 9 by Tokyo Electron.
    • <>Stifel Nicolaus analyst Patrick Ho repeated his Buy rating, while increasing his target to $31, from $28. He says the company is “parti<><><><><><><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

    Semi Cap Equip: Barclays Upgrades VSEA, KLAC, NVLS
    N/A

    The semiconductor capital equipment sector is showing strength today, following a bullish note this morning on the group by Barclays Capital analyst C.J. Muse.

    <>Muse writes in a research note that the Semicon West trade show at the Moscone Center in San Francisco next week should spark renewed interest in the group - and that investors should increase their exposure. He expects “growing visibility” to double digit sequential order growth through 2009, leading to “strong earnings revisions ahead.” Muse expects “growing confidence” in increased spending by Samsung and Hynix will pro...

    Semi Equipment: Stifel Upgrades TER, PLAB, NVLS, CYMI
    N/A

    Stifel Nicolaus analyst Patrick Ho this morning turned bullish on the semiconductor equipment sector, raising his sector rating to Overweight from Neutral, and advising investors to “be aggressive taking a position in the group at current price levels.” He says that the rally which begain in late February in the group is still in the early innings.

    His basic thesis:

    <>
  • The sharp reduction in semi inventory could lead to under-supply in the next upturn.
  • Chipmaker utilization rates are increasing, which should eventually lead to capacity buys.
    • <>DRAM fundamentals are improving, which should eventu...
