On CAPS, 97% of the 249 members who have rated TriQuint believe the
stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls
include joats5 and All-Star TSIF, who is ranked in the top 2% of our community.
Just last Friday, joats5 tapped TriQuint's recent profit miss as a can't-miss opportunity:
Parts provider for the coming "Cellular Tsunami".
Down almost 30% on recent bad earning report but indications are that
they still are positioned to benefit from global economic surge in 2010.
In a pitch from one day earlier, TSIF adds some color to the stock's latest haircut:
TriQuint announced a 7% revenue slide, which on the
surface doesn't seem to warrant a 28% stock hit. They also announced
that orders from one of their two [Korean] customers were cut
drastically as the customer burned off inventory. ... For a company
whose share price has been near a 5 year high and that continues good
growth and has minimal debt, I'm bullish on TriQuint at this entry
point. It may take it a few quarters to convince Mr. Market … but with
chip sells to many of the major handset makers it appears to have some
decent momentum.
