State of Tech: A Guide to the Q4 2013 Earnings Season that Boldly Predicts the Winners and Losers, Including Covering Altera, Xilinx, and Many More

Topics discussed in McWilliams' recent reports include:

-- Altera and Xilinx: As we prepared to enter 2012, McWilliams forecasted Xilinx would outperform Altera for the next two years.  Because Altera had been the big winner during 2010 and 2011, this was a bold prediction that went against the grain of Wall Street forecasts.  However, McWilliams was right – Xilinx was the winner hands down in all categories. For 2012 and 2013, the price of Xilinx went up 48.9% while the price of Altera went down 10.1%. Does McWilliams continue to view Xilinx as a more attractive investment than its rival Altera? What key trends in the programmable logic sector are important to Xilinx and Altera investors and how does McWilliams see these trends shaping up in 2014?

-- Jabil: Jabil radically lowered its forward outlook, and Wall Street sold the stock off with a vengeance.  Does McWilliams think investors should take advantage of Jabil's current low price and accumulate shares while the price hovers in the $17s, or does he think investors should simply avoid the stock?

-- Analog Devices: What five factors make Analog Devices a good candidate for a strategic investment?  What does he see driving Analog Devices going forward?  What is McWilliams' target price range for Analog Devices and how much upside does it represent?

-- ON Semi: McWilliams has been a master at calling profitable swing trades for ON Semi.  Is ON likely to benefit from design wins in Microsoft's Xbox One? Might ON Semi move higher is Intel announces an upside in PC unit volume for Q4?  What other factors are working in ON's favor? What does McWilliams see next for ON? At what price would McWilliams consider adding shares of ON?
