Alvarion Climbs on New Product News

By the BullMarket.com Staff


WiMax equipment maker Alvarion (Nasdaq: ALVR - News) added 3.7% on positive news about new products for the nascent technology. The company was the source of one of those announcements, stating today that it has expanded its BreezeMax WiMax product line to the 2.3 and 2.5 GHz spectrum. The latter is, importantly, the only spectrum designated for WiMax by the FCC.

Not surprisingly, WiMax is the platform Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S - News), owner of most of the spectrum in that range, chose for its 4G roadmap. Thanks to that decision, the technology has garnered more interest and attention in the U.S. -- and now WiMax is positioned to take part in the considerable infrastructure build at Sprint as well as at the companies who want to take advantage of Sprint's upcoming high-speed wireless platform.

Separately, chipmaker NXP took the wrappings off what the company claims is the first fully integrated WiMax chip in the world. Spun off from, and still 20% owned by, Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG - News), NBX is the #10 chipmaker in the world. The company said that it anticipated the results of a recently ended standardization process for the mobile WiMax protocol, and has thus been able to move to full production of the chip. NPX acknowledged that competitors were working on similar products, but were not in mass production. Other advantages the NPX product has includes its low-power usage and its performance to date in mobile tests.

While this ups the competition in the space for Intel (Nasdaq: INTC - News), a big WiMax backer, NPX's advances are good news for Alvarion. The chip is fairly cheap, which should pressure unit costs in the industry, and the technical advantages will only help WiMax adoption rates. We don't expect Alvarion to abandon its relationship with Intel, but competition among suppliers is always a good thing. Of course, down the road, Alvarion too will have to fend off commoditization of WiMax equipment, but for now, it continues to appear that there are big opportunities for growth coming down the pike ahead of commoditization.

Alvarion and Sprint are Bull Market Recommended List stocks.

Candlestick Analysis 
Today's Candlestick Patterns:
White Opening Marubozu
Today a White Opening Marubozu was formed. This shows that the day opened and then the prices continued to go up all day long without coming below the opening level thus forming a long white body, however prices did not close at the high of the day and thus they created an upper shadow.

Definition:
The White Opening Marubozu is a single candlestick pattern characterized by a long white body. It has an upper shadow but no lower shadow. This is a strong bullish candlestick pattern.

Important Factors:
Like all other Marubozu, what a White Opening Marubozu says about the future course of the prices depends a lot on the general picture. It may be the first part of a bullish continuation pattern but it may also be interpreted as a bearish reversal pattern depending on the preceding day's candlesticks.

In the case of downtrend a White Opening Marubozu is called as a Bullish Belt Hold Pattern.

The White Opening Marubozu is a single candlestick pattern with low reliability. It reflects only one day's trading and it may show the continuation of the trend but may also indicate a reversal. It needs to be used with other candlesticks for a better and healthier judgment about the status of the trend.

ASHBURN, Va. & WASHINGTON, Jun 11, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- DigitalBridge Communications (DBC) and Alvarion Inc. (ALVR, Trade) today announced that DBC has launched a WiMAX network using 2.5 GHz licensed spectrum in Rexburg, Idaho, based on Alvarion's BreezeMAX(TM) 802.16e platform.

I think this could be a good stock to have in the months / next couple years to come. 

UPDATE 2-Alvarion moves to Q2 profit, sees improved Q3


JERUSALEM, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Alvarion , a maker of wireless telecom equipment, swung to a small net income in the second quarter and boosted third quarter expectations as it slowly moves to profitability.

The Israeli-based wireless broadband provider reported on Wednesday a second-quarter net profit of $136,000, or nil per share, compared with a net loss of $27.6 million, or 45 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter.

Excluding special items and discontinued operations, it had a net profit of $2.0 million, or 3 cents a share, compared with $1.0 million, or 2 cents a share, a year earlier.

Revenue rose 31 percent to $57.5 million.

The company said it expects third-quarter revenues to range between $58 million and $62 million, with GAAP earnings per share to range between 0 cents and 2 cents profit.

Non-GAAP per share results from continuing operations are forecast to range between 3 cents and 5 cents profit.

"Based on our performance during the first half (of 2007), and the positive outlook for the balance of the year, we are raising our target for revenue growth in 2007 to 25-30 percent over 2006, versus our previous target of 15-20 percent," said Tzvika Friedman, president and chief executive of Alvarion.

Friedman told Reuters that strong forecasts for the third quarter were based on record revenues and strong growth margins from both the company's WiMAX and non-WiMAX deployments.

WiMAX is a medium range sibling of Wi-Fi which is capable of beaming the Internet and other data over kilometres rather than within a single home or office.

Despite the strong forecasts Friedman said that its outlook for the third quarter was for modest profit.

"This year is a year of investment, as higher investments are coupled with a growth in revenue," Friedman said.

"We want to maintain marginal profitability into 2008 ... and strengthen our bottom-line based on a long term operating profit objective of 10 percent, but it will not happen in 2008," he added.

Friedman said WiMAX continued to be the key focus of the company, and would allow for the company's continued gradual growth.

"Though non-WiMAX deployments also grew this (second) quarter, we expect to see a growth of over 50 percent in WiMAX deployment since 2006, while non-WiMAX deployment is seen mostly flat," Friedman said.

Alvarion's Tel Aviv-listed shares were up 1.9 percent in afternoon trade, compared with losses of 2.8 percent in the broader bourse.
