Number One, let me be the first to give you an applaud. You've been around awhile, you deserve more, and you responded to my post. Hell, we're brothers now.
I thought I would just speculate a little here today, bought 2000 @ 10.00 pre-market. If things don't heat up, I'll hold on to close. If it drops below, say, 9.70, I'll sell.
Although semis are strong right now, everyone seems to want to sell on the news. That sucks.

Chips Snap: PMC-Sierra, LSI Logic Surge
Monday October 16, 3:33 pm ET
By Betsy Schiffman, AP Business Writer 
Despite Little News, PMC-Sierra, LSI Logic and Marvell Enjoy a Run-Up


NEW YORK (AP) -- Chip stocks charged ahead in Monday's trading, with PMC-Sierra Inc., Marvell Technology Group Ltd. and LSI Logic Corp. leading the group.
Although the company had no news to report, PMC-Sierra Inc. shares shot up 33 cents, or 5 percent, to $6.99 on the Nasdaq, ahead of the company's third-quarter results.

The company, which makes integrated circuits used in the telecom industry, is scheduled to release earnings on Thurs., Oct. 19.

Similarly, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. shares jumped 76 cents, or 4.4 percent, to $18.06, although there was no news from the company. Some investors on speculated that the stock was moving in conjunction with an analyst's prediction that Apple Computer Inc. would introduce an iPhone at a MacWorld conference as early as January 2007.

"Based on our recent checks, we expect Apple to unveil two models of its widely anticipated cell phones in early calendar year 2007," said Prudential analyst Jesse Tortora, in a note to clients.

While Marvell's integrated circuits are used in Apple's iPods, Stifel Nicolaus & Co. analyst Cody Acree dismisses the idea that the Apple phone rumor could move Marvell shares.

"Marvell is already in Apple iPods -- if the stock is going to move 4 percent on something, you would think it would be news," Acree said. "Marvell is one of the most beaten up stocks in the group and it's one of the higher quality names. It's more likely that buyers are just getting back into the space."

Elsewhere in the sector, shares of Asyst Technology Inc., a maker of equipment used to transport semiconductor wafers in the manufacturing process, surged in afternoon trading on Monday after the company said it narrowed its first-quarter loss and posted an operating profit that topped Wall Street expectations.

The stock, which has traded between $3.84 and $11.20 over the last year, was up 74 cents, or 9.3 percent, at $8.70 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq.

LSI Logic Corp. was another mover, rising 31 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $8.90 on the New York Stock Exchange.

LSI Shares Jump on 3Q Profit
Thursday October 26, 12:26 pm ET 
LSI Shares Jump on 3rd-Quarter Profit; Positive Trends Seen Continuing Into 4th-Quarter



NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of LSI Logic Corp., an integrated circuit and data storage chip designer, rallied on Thursday after the company impressed investors with earnings and acquisition news.
LSI said late Wednesday it swung to a third-quarter profit of $43.6 million, or 11 cents per share, buoyed by growth in its storage business. The company also said it agreed to buy StoreAge Networking Technologies Ltd., an Israeli maker of data protection software, for $50 million in cash.

ThinkEquity analyst Eric Ross, who has an "Accumulate" rating on the stock, noted that the company's storage business made up for softness in the consumer business, and predicted current trends would continue in the fourth quarter.

"Storage systems is headed for its strongest seasonal quarter, while consumer (business) slows," Ross wrote in a note to clients. "Although not a sexy, fast-growing stock, we believe LSI could continue to see stable gains."

Merrill Lynch analyst has a slightly more skeptical take on LSI's consumer business.

"Company performance continues to be dragged down by the consumer business, which showed a 28 percent sequential decline," Osha wrote in a note to investors.

"The good news is that as the business continues to shrink, it impacts LSI's overall performance less and less. The bad news is that LSI's management still seems committed to the consumer business, and even has hinted that scale would be an asset. We believe that market would take a dim view of any LSI acquisition in the consumer semiconductor space."

Shares of LSI, which have traded between $7.41 and $11.81 over the last year, were up $1.37, or 16.4 percent, at $9.72 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange

Monday November 13, 8:00 am ET 
ZEVIO 1020 Processor Provides Best-in-Class Cost, Power and Performance for the Expanding Digital Consumer Appliance Market, Including eToys and Portable Navigation Devices



MILPITAS, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI - News), the pioneer in media processing technology, today announced the ZEVIO(TM) 1020 multimedia application processor, the first LSI standard product IC based on the ZEVIO architecture, announced earlier this year.

With the new ZEVIO 1020 application processor and complete development support tools, manufacturers can quickly design cost-sensitive consumer electronics products that require low-power consumption, advanced graphics, and digital audio and video processing. The ZEVIO 1020 processor is highly optimized for electronic toys, navigation systems and other innovative consumer electronics products.

"LSI has designed the ZEVIO 1020 processor to enable the optimal balance of cost, power, and performance for a variety of portable multimedia applications priced under $100," said Melvin Hirata, director of marketing for ZEVIO products, Consumer Products Group, LSI Logic. "Providing a production- ready application processor and key development tools reduces complexity and accelerates time to market. This complete package gives our customers a significant advantage in the highly competitive consumer electronics market."

The ZEVIO 1020 solution is designed to achieve best-in-class cost performance with lowest power consumption by distributing the tasks among multiple processors running at optimal speeds.

LTX Slips on Weak 2nd-Quarter Forecast, While LSI Shares Surge



NEW YORK (AP) -- Semiconductor stocks edged down Friday, with LTX Corp. taking one of the biggest hits due to disappointing guidance, and LSI Logic Corp. surging on bullish comments from a Wall Street analyst.

LTX Corp., a maker of semiconductor testing equipment, said Thursday it swung to a first-quarter profit, but its second-quarter forecast fell short of Wall Street expectations.

Shares of LTX fell 23 cents, or 4.4 percent, to $4.96 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq. They have traded between $3.66 and $8 over the past year.

Shares of LSI Logic Corp., a designer of semiconductors used in storage systems, shot up in afternoon trading after Bank of America analyst Sumit Dhanda said the stock is underappreciated by the market, and reiterated a "Buy" rating.

"We believe that Street views on LSI's revenue growth for 2007 are conservative, particularly in light of the growth opportunities set to benefit LSI in coming quarters," Dhanda wrote in a note to investors. "To wit, we now believe that LSI is likely to win some share within Dell's low-end storage system business, which is additive to our consensus revenue assumptions for the year."

LSI shares, which have traded between $7.41 and $11.81 over the last year, were up 45 cents, or 4.3 percent, at $11 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

First quarter 2008 revenues were $661 million, a 42% increase year-over- year compared to $465 million reported in the first quarter of 2007, and down 11% sequentially compared to $741 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2007 [1]. Adjusting for the sale of the mobility business, first quarter revenues declined 7% sequentially compared to the fourth quarter of 2007. The first quarter revenue decline was less than expected on better than expected sales of semiconductors for storage applications.

First quarter 2008 GAAP* net loss was $14 million or 2 cents per share, compared to first quarter 2007 GAAP net income of $30 million or 7 cents per diluted share. First quarter 2008 GAAP results compare to fourth quarter 2007 GAAP net loss of $2 billion or $2.87 per share, which included a $2 billion non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill. First quarter 2008 GAAP net loss included a net charge of $78 million from special items, including $55.7

million of amortization of acquisition-related items, $4.6 million of restructuring costs, and $17.8 million of stock-based compensation expense.

First quarter 2008 non-GAAP** net income was $64 million or 10 cents per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2007 non-GAAP net income of $44 million or 11 cents per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2007 non-GAAP net income was $94 million or 13 cents per diluted share.

Cash and short-term investments totaled approximately $1.2 billion at quarter end. LSI also announced today that it has completed the purchase of approximately 147 million shares of its common stock for approximately $1 billion under two repurchase authorizations.

"Our first quarter results mark the third consecutive quarter of revenues that have exceeded expectations and reflect continuing strength in our core business," said Abhi Talwalkar, LSI president and chief executive officer. "Stronger than expected sales of our SAS and SAN silicon partially offset the effects of normal seasonality while the longer-term benefits of our strategic steps and sharp focus on storage and networking continued to grow."

"During the quarter we also won significant new silicon designs in the hard disk drive and server spaces and announced an innovative new family of single-chip, low-cost content inspection processors for security and networking applications which is receiving strong interest," added Talwalkar.

Bryon Look, LSI chief financial officer, said, "In the first quarter we continued to generate strong operating cash flows and effectively managed our expenses, delivering a solid financial performance. Our balance sheet remains strong and despite continuing macro-economic uncertainty we remain confident in the health of our business."

Title: Re: LSI - nice pullback, Earnings July 27
Post by: wpSoft2008 on April 23, 2008, 07:50:05 PM
Hi, setravis:

No need to put so much known info on this thread. You need to make money from your own DD.

This stock was in my test run as seen in my previous post.

I bought 20K two days ago once more at $4.86 and I knew that the stock will be above $5.6 after earning report. I already mode more than 50k on this stock alone in last 2 months.

LSI earned 0.07 last quarter and the stock jumped from 4->5.5 and has been in 5-5.5 for two months.

Any price under 5 is a bargin.

If you looked at its chart, the low since 1995 has been $4. Whenever it touched 4, it will double within one year.

The chart pattern is similar to 2004 10 - 2005 2.  After jumped from 4 -> 5.70, that stock had been in 5 - 5.50 then broke out to go to 6.5. Then pulled back to 6 and up to 11 eventually.

That is the reason why I bought it on its weakness.
