Next Inning Technology Research Provides an Update on Texas Instruments and Harmonic; Previews Earnings for National Semiconduct

PRINCETON, N.J., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com/), an online subscription service focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, announced today that it has provided members with an update on IBC-related announcements from Texas Instruments (NYSE:TXN) and Harmonic (NASDAQ:HLIT). Editor Paul McWilliams also recently previewed earnings for National Semiconductor (NYSE:NSM) and gave an update on companies in the test and packaging sector, including Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (NYSE:ASX).

In his most recent commentary on the test and packaging space, McWilliams said:

"With a trend towards shortening and simplifying the supply chain and moving more inventory to die bank versus finished goods, package and test companies have new opportunities. The logical place for die banking is at the package and test houses - the places that will turn the die-banked wafers into finished goods. In addition to this, there is really no reason for the finished goods to go anywhere else prior to being shipped to the end customer. This means that package and testing companies now have the opportunity to be involved from die bank through shipment to the end customer. This increases their value in the supply chain and improves their visibility."

In his commentary, McWilliams looked at the following company-specific topics, among others:

-- What are McWilliams' thoughts on Texas Instruments' announcement that several encoder companies have adopted its high-performance TMS320 series of DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) to deliver advanced encoding standards?

-- What are McWilliams' views of Harmonic's recent product announcements and how will these products shape the company going forward?

-- Why does McWilliams think analysts are expecting more from National Semiconductor than their estimates are indicating?

-- What other companies, besides Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, does McWilliams believe stand to benefit in the test and packaging space?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 240% since its inception versus 75% for the Nasdaq.
