12:28 PM Up initially following its Q1 beat, Texas Instruments (TXN -1.3%) has reversed course, possibly due to worries about a massive drop in wireless chip sales. During its earnings call, TI noted sales of "connectivity" products such as Wi-Fi chips were soft, to go with an expected plunge in baseband chip sales (a business TI is exiting). Is that a sign TI is losing share to Wi-Fi chip leader Broadcom (BRCM -1%), or (along with ARM's shipment data) one of soft industry sales?

Optimistic View for Growth for Semiconductor Industry
Broadcom Corp. (MM) (NASDAQ:BRCM)
Today : Wednesday 18 April 2012
Semiconductor stocks have performed well in the first quarter of 2012. The SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF -- which represents the Semiconductor sub-industry portion of the S&P Total Markets Index -- is up over 10 percent year to date. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Semiconductor Industry and provides equity research on Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM) and Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
www.FiveStarEquities.com/BRCM

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) recently announced that worldwide semiconductor sales showed a 1.3 percent decline in February, yet sales in the Americas region showed a 1.1 percent gain over the previous month.
"It's encouraging to see that the U.S. posted the third consecutive month of job gains which points to momentum in the U.S. economic recovery. However, the global picture bears close watching given the continued sluggish economies in Europe and in Asia," said Brian Toohey, president, Semiconductor Industry Association. "Overall, the combination of improved U.S. macroeconomic factors along with sequential semiconductor sales growth in the Americas region warrants an optimistic view for growth in 2012."

New Broadcom 10GBASE-T PHYs Deliver 50 Percent Lower Power
Broadcom Corp. (MM) (NASDAQ:BRCM)
Today : Monday 16 April 2012
News Highlights:
•Optimized for data center top of rack (ToR) switches and 10GbE server adapters
•Extends Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support to all three operating speeds: 1GbE, 10GbE and 100M
•Highly integrated with on-chip MACsec security and 1588 precision timing protocol
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced the addition of two 10GBASE-T physical layer transceivers (PHYs) to its growing portfolio of 10GBASE-T networking solutions. Optimized for top-of-rack switches, 10GbE server adapters and LOMs (LAN on motherboard) in the data center, the highly integrated quad-port BCM84844 and dual-port BCM84846 lower operating power by more than 50 percent(1). The new PHYs substantially reduce power consumption at 10GE to less than two watts per port through the use of EEE, and extend the benefits of EEE to include all device speeds including 1GbE. For more news, visit Broadcom's newsroom.
As a result of increasing network traffic and higher bandwidth servers such as Romley, industry analysts predict a 20x increase in 10GBASE-T adoption by 2013, as data centers upgrade to higher densities(2). Broadcom's second generation 40 nanometer (nm) PHYs drive innovation in 10GbE, offering robust operation over 100 meter cables while significantly reducing footprint, cost and power consumption.
Power is critical as network managers seek to reduce cost and carbon footprint of large scale data centers. Broadcom's AutoGrEEEn™ technology enables systems with legacy MACs to get the power savings of EEE in periods of reduced link utilization. Both PHYs provide on-chip IEEE802.1ae MACsec link layer security and 1588v2 precision time protocol (PTP), delivering precise and accurate synchronization of nodes in the network.
Broadcom's new BCM84844 and BCM84846 deliver lower power while offering pin compatibility to previous Broadcom devices (BCM84834 and BCM84836) and integration with Broadcom's broad portfolio of switch, controller, and adapter solutions. This includes PHY drivers within Broadcom's Software Development Kit (SDK) and common implementations of MACsec and 1588v2 PTP.
Market Drivers:
•Global IP traffic expected to grow twenty-fold by 2016(3)
•10GBASE-T adoption to increase 20x by 2013(2)
•10GbE port shipments expected to reach 62.2M in 2016 from 8.5 M in 2011(4)
•Massive traffic growth challenges current network architecture(5)
Key Features:
•Supports IEEE Std 802.3az™-2010 Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) capability for 10GBASE-T,1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
•Robust operation over 100m Category 6A cables with industry-standard 4-pair magnetics
•IEEE standard device interoperability: 10 Gbps, 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps
•Broadcom® AutoGrEEEn technology extends EEE power savings to legacy MACs at both 1 and 10 Gbps data rates
•Line-side XFI enables dual-media applications
•Reduced footprint with 27x27mm (BCM84844) and 21x21mm package (BCM84846)
Availability
The BCM84844 and BCM84846 are now sampling with production volume slated for 2H12.

Quote:
Kevin Brown, Broadcom's Vice President and General Manager, PHY
"Demand for high-density switches and servers with 10GBASE-T connectivity is growing and our latest PHYs extend the industry-leading features our customers have come to expect from Broadcom. We continue to push the envelope in delivering the industry's most advanced products while driving down cost, footprint and power consumption. Lowering device power to less than two watts per port is an important step forward in the adoption of 10GBASE-T."

2:07 PM Barclays thinks the recent pullback in chip stocks represents puts the risk/reward in the sector's favor heading into earnings season, and believes inventory replenishment will help drive shares higher into 2H. The firm likes BRCM, QCOM, SWKS, and AVGO on account of their Apple/Samsung exposure (I, II), and is also a fan of telecom chipmakers.....
4:02 PM Nokia's (NOK -15.7%) Lumia 900 phone is a big money-maker for Qualcomm (QCOM). iSuppli's teardown of the Lumia 900 turns up five Qualcomm chips - a baseband processor, a Snapdragon apps processor, an RF transceiver, and two power management chips. A Broadcom (BRCM) Bluetooth/Wi-Fi combo chip is also found inside the 900, which has an unsubsidized price of $450 and an estimated bill of materials of $209.
won't see it back to that today, I'm afraid, but we bottomed at $36.25 and moved back up, good sign. Just all stocks, especially the tech sector got beat down bad the last couple weeks. Afraid AAPL does that, it slips, all tech stocks slip.
But the avg analyst has BRCM's price target at $45, based on last qtr's earnings......
I got in at $38.41 -
I don't know what the price was at that time....
But BRCM is a grower, which is why I got in
