Next Inning Technology Updates Outlooks for Analog Devices, Hewlett-Packard, JDS Uniphase, and Scopus Video Networks

    PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 18 /EMWNews/ -- Next Inning Technology

Research (http://www.nextinning.com), a subscription service focused on

semiconductor and technology stocks, announced it has updated outlooks for

Applied Materials (Nasdaq: AMAT), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), JDS Uniphase

(Nasdaq: JDSU) and Scopus Video Networks (Nasdaq: SCOP).



    Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams advised his readers to buy Cree

ahead of its earnings report when it was trading in the teens. As

McWilliams predicted, Cree not only topped Wall Street estimates, but was

also optimistic about future demand trends. As a result, Cree now trades

more than 30% higher than its recent low. Investors who accept our 21-day

    In his earnings preview, McWilliams wrote: "Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark

Hurd hit the ground running, trimming fat and restructuring both internal

and sales channel operations. The net results were rapidly growing sales,

improved profitability and a much higher stock price. However, while I

continue to view Hurd's Hewlett-Packard very favorably, I have two modest

concerns that I'll be monitoring as we move forward..."



    McWilliams also looks at these topics:



    -- What two concerns should Hewlett-Packard investors be aware of? Does

McWilliams expect a rally in Hewlett-Packard shares this year?



    -- Has McWilliams changed his bearish stance on optical components

companies? Would he hold JDS Uniphase at this juncture?



    -- McWilliams advised readers to buy Analog Devices last January. Now

that it's up over 25%, does he think it's time to take some profits?



    -- Does McWilliams see any red flags in an investment in Scopus?



    Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned

230% since its inception versus 89% for the Nasdaq.
