SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Atmel® Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in microcontroller and touch solutions, today announced that Steven Laub, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, agreed to a Board of Directors' request to extend his retirement date to facilitate the completion of an ongoing strategic evaluation process. The Company does not intend to make further public announcements regarding the status of the evaluation process until it is completed, and there can be no assurance as to its outcome or timing.

Laub hanging around to help complete a sell? No point to announce new CEO or interim CFO as CEO. After hours buy of 2000 at 6.68 just went up from 6.59...no big deal but maybe more to come tomorrow morning.

Stock assumed $10 buyout back in Late June / Early July...do we get to see $10 again shortly? Tomorrow morning I wish :)

A lotto bet (guess) in Feb. 2013

was that Atmel's tech would be the battery extending feature in what was then rumored to be a watch from AAPL, too bad for Apple if such a thing can be said. ;)

New Atmel microcontrollers said to enable 10-year battery lives
Apr 1 2015, 17:55 ET | About: Atmel Corporation (ATML) | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor

Atmel's (NASDAQ:ATML) SAM L21 family of ARM-based (NASDAQ:ARMH) microcontrollers consume less than 35 microamps of power per MHz., far below the 120-160 microamps consumed by most low-power controllers. That, together with a sleep mode power draw of less than 200 nanoamps and various power-saving features, leads Atmel to claim the chips can enable embedded/wearable devices and sensors with battery lives of 10 years or more.The SAM L21, which comes with built-in flash and SRAM, delivered a score of 185 an industry power benchmark - Atmel states that's 50% above its closest competitor (an STMicroelectronics chip).The company argues its support for 5 different "power domains" (compared with just 2 for other chips) with varying levels of resource use improves power efficiency, and that devices containing SAM L21 chips might potentially be powered off energy captured from the human body.In addition to Atmel, Freescale and other ARM microcontroller vendors are working on ultra-low-power chips meant for embedded devices. Intel is going after the opportunity via its tiny Quark CPUs.

No position currently.

ATML$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
IN BUYOUT CROSSHAIRS!

[Stock Guy777]

Apparently I'm not the only one seeing a buyout opportunity!
ATML in the crosshairs for potential take over. GOOD TIMES AHEAD MY FRIEND!


(Repeats for additional subscribers. For more Reuters DEALTALKS, double click on )

By Noel Randewich and Liana B. Baker

SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK, March 6 (Reuters) - Avago Technologies Ltd may be one of the pacesetters among companies looking to make a purchase in the semiconductor industry after its advanced talks last month to acquire Freescale Semiconductor Ltd fell through.

Demand for cheaper chips and new products to power Internet-connected gadgets is expected to drive chip industry consolidation beyond NXP's $12-billion purchase of Freescale announced this week, analysts said.

"The pace of M&A in semis has been elevated," said Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis. "We expect more of the same."

Avago's main business is its wireless segment, which last quarter accounted for about 40 percent of revenue, and it sells radio frequency chips for products such as Apple Inc's iPhone.

The company, which has a market cap of $32 billion, could now look at expanding in areas ranging from analog semiconductors to radio frequency technology, and could roll up several smaller analog companies or pursue a larger acquisition, Reuters reported.

It couldn't be learned what companies Avago was pursuing.

Deals that could occur over the next few years are in the range of $600 million to $2 billion to $3 billion.

Analysts see companies that make chips for connected devices as top contenders for deal activity.

Relatively small chipmakers with annual sales below $1 billion in markets from the auto industry to consumer gadgets are in the crosshairs of larger players awash in growing amounts of cash and rising stock prices not seen in more than a decade.

With steady demand from automakers, makers of consumer electronics and data center operators, chip companies have cut costs in recent years and returned growing amounts of cash to shareholders who, in turn, have rewarded those companies' stocks.

**************************************
Chipmakers that roughly fit the target model for potential deals, in terms of size and products, include smaller companies such as Micrel, Intersil, Atmel, M/A-COM and Silicon Laboratories, analysts said.
**************************************

These companies make a variety of chips that manage power, allow wireless communication and control devices, among other things.

Features such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth that once required chips sold by separate companies can now be squeezed onto single pieces of silicon made by industry leaders' technology.

The firms could pursue mergers with smaller peers or could also become targets for larger chipmakers such as Intel, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Skyworks Solutions , according to analysts.

Micrel in January said its board had hired a bank to review strategic alternatives and to maximize shareholder value.

DEALS BOOST STOCKS

Nearly all the deals announced so far have driven up shares of the acquirers, which gives other companies confidence to pursue M&A since investors reward them for it.

"So far the reaction to these deals has been very positive," said RBC analyst Doug Freedman.

Shares of NXP surged 17 percent this week after it said it would buy Freescale to create a combined company valued at moe than $40 billion while cutting costs and growing market share.

Worldwide semiconductor M&A reached $31 billion last year, the most since 2011, Thomson Reuters data show. In the 12 months through March 2, 472 chip M&A deals were made worldwide, up from 383 in the previous year.

Tim Wilson, a venture capitalist at Artiman Ventures who specializes in chips, expects large chipmakers to buy startups with specialized technologies, many focusing on emerging areas such as wireless home appliances and other connected devices that fly under the banner of the "Internet of Things."

For example, top mobile chipmaker Qualcomm in October agreed to buy Britain's CSR for $2.5 billion to bolster its offering in Bluetooth, another short-range communication technology.

"If you look at what's being acquired, everyone is filling in product gaps," Wilson said. (Reporting by Noel Randewich in San Francisco and Liana B. Baker in New York. Editing by Greg Roumeliotis, John Pickering and Clarence Fernandez)

[Stock Guy777]

I particularly liked the end off the CC WHERE THEY spoke of wearable tech space, and 2015 looking good as to more interest in big companies hence why a first ever Divvy... Good outlook

[benjimane]

Earnings release were good numbers.. I was impressed! Some investors are in the sell the news mode because we fell to around 7.75 in after hours.. hopefully just profit taking and we surge upward tomorrow ..

[Stock Guy777]

[Stock Guy777]

IN LUVIN IT!! and I would imagine the company is holding back some news until after earnings... Just my opinion but the last few days been pretty scarce with news.

[benjimane]

Atmel - light Q3 outlook, touch controller softness

Atmel (NASDAQ:ATML) guided on its Q2 CC (transcript) for Q3 revenue of $364M-$382M, unfavorable at the midpoint to a $379M consensus.

Recently-acquired Newport Media is expected to contribute $7M.

When asked about Atmel's guidance, CEO Steven Laub noted touch controller sales are expected to be down by a low-to-mid single-digit % Q/Q - he blames tablet weakness and "customer transitions" in Asia (likely a reference to Samsung's challenges).

Atmel has also been facing tough touch controller competition from Synaptics.

Other segments are faring better: Microcontroller and automotive sales are forecast to rise by a low-to-mid single-digit %, memory by double digits, and multi-market/other sales high single-digits.

Q2 gross margin was 45.3%, up from 44% in Q1 and 42.6% a year ago.

Q3 GM is forecast to be at 47% (+/- 100 bps), and Q4 GM around 49%. 3.6M shares were repurchased in Q2 at an average price of $8.
