The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on RF Micro Devices & Trident Microsystems
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 12/02/11 -- Chipmakers focused on PCs have struggled immensely this year as consumers are choosing hand-held devices like the iPad that use about 75 percent fewer of the chips than a typical laptop. On the other end, Semiconductor firms that have focused on the burgeoning mobile market have performed admirably this year in a difficult global economy. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Semiconductor Industry and provides equity research on RF Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: RFMD) and Trident Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRID). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
Researchers Gartner Inc. and IDC said that PC shipments climbed a mere 3.2 percent to 92 million units last quarter, compared with an earlier projection for 5.1 percent growth. Apple has sold approximately 40 million iPads since the product's debut, generating $25.3 billion in revenue. Apple may sell a record 20 million iPads globally during the holiday quarter, Forrester Research Inc. reports.
DRAM prices fell 32 percent in the third quarter, the most in almost three years. On the upside, demand for NAND flash will climb 49 percent in the five years to 2015 while the DRAM market will be little changed, according to IHS iSuppli.
