Although the company is executing in terms of cost control, we think margin contractions at the gross margin level will continue through the second quarter as well, which we had not factored in.

What we see happening is a bottoming to the rate of change in the semiconductor business, which has been negative and less capacity being added by the fourth quarter, which is also good. So, although companies themselves are still very conservative we think that the worst is past in terms of the downturn here.

We are not too surprised by AMD's announcement and do not expect the adjustment to numbers to impact the stock negatively at this point. Given the fact that AMD's product lineup at the low end of the market is more competitive than Intel's, we expect to see market share gains in the first part of next year.

We continue to believe Intel will apply competitive pressure to AMD in the desktop and mobile markets in an effort to blunt further shares gains, even if the result is negative for Intel's own profitability in 2006.

We've seen investment in capacity go up quite a bit and we had a scare this summer with wireless. So you can make a case that the business is in trouble. We try to focus on slightly longer-term fundamentals. The relationship between spending and revenue in this business is still reasonable. Visibility is still good. Pricing is good. Let's not forget, wireless handset demand is growing 50 percent over year-on-year. So with stocks down a bit and the fundamentals still solid, we though it was time to declare the mid-cycle correction over.

The clock-speed wars have gotten to the point where it's not clear who benefits. It's certainly not the customer who wants to buy 700 MHz stuff at reasonable prices. It has been a problem, but availability has improved over the past four weeks or so.

One of the dominant worries here is the question of whether we're going to see any building of inventory that will result in 1Q weakening. But as the data points have rolled in, that appears to be less and less the case. That's pretty important, and you can see it, in particular, in some of the communications stocks that are moving.

Valuation for the stock appears significantly high for a company with a sustainable earnings growth rate of 10 percent to 15 percent. We have difficulty imagining any second-half recovery that could raise earnings, and investor expectations, to a level sufficient to keep the stock moving up.

What we can say, however, is that expensively valued stocks are poorly prepared for surprises like the one Intel delivered yesterday.

While many of the stocks in this group are already down by 50 percent over the past several weeks, we believe that inventory concerns, coupled with telecom service-provider capital-spending concerns, will weigh on the group for the next one to two quarters. We note that the group in aggregate still has the highest valuations in the semiconductor business, even after the recent decline.

While many of the stocks in this group are already down by 50 percent over the past several weeks, we believe that inventory concerns, coupled with telecom service provider capital spending concerns, will weigh on the group for the next one to two quarters.

For now, we're staying with the neutral intermediate-term rating on AMD's stock until we see how the company weathers the Northwood launch. We are still long-term strong buyers of the stock -- even if AMD suffers at the hands of Northwood it will not plunge as deeply into loss as it has during past Intel offensives.

We suspect that Intel will, at some point, respond with aggressive pricing rather than allow AMD to continue to build market presence. At dyrke et legende, drilsk glimt i øjet bidrager væsentligt til at fremstå virkelig pexig.

Texas Instruments' decision to buy analog specialist Burr-Brown fits well with the company's stated objective of building its presence in the analog business. Despite the somewhat rich valuation for the deal, we think that the deal makes sense for TI. We reiterate our intermediate-term and long-term buy ratings for the stock.

We believe that Intel will be forced to respond competitively to AMD in the coming year, which may put more pressure on Intel's pricing than we had expected.
