PRINCETON, N.J., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for SanDisk SNDK, Micron Technology MU, Integrated Device Technology IDTI, Lattice Semiconductor LSCC, and AU Optronics AUO.

Editor Paul McWilliams spent a decades-long career in the technology industry, and has earned a reputation for his skill at communicating complex technology trends to individual investors and professional analysts alike. His reports have won over readers with their ability to unravel the complexities of the industry and, more importantly, identify which companies are likely to be the winners and losers as technology trends change.

Next Inning is now publishing its acclaimed, multi-part State of Tech Report covering the technology sector from semiconductor wafer fabrication through finished goods and representing nearly a trillion dollars in annual revenue. This breadth provides investors with unique visibility across an array of sectors and for years this quarterly report has given Next Inning subscribers the opportunity to find hidden gems before they are discovered by Wall Street.

The latest 37-page installment of the State of Tech report covers semiconductor companies specializing in NAND Flash and DRAM memory, touch screen control, microprocessors, and programmable logic.  Next up will be the specialty semiconductor report covering companies like Cavium, EZchip, Qualcomm, Marvell and PMC Sierra.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his latest reports:

-- What sets NAND Flash memory apart from other memory types, and does this suggest that NAND specialist SanDisk will not be as susceptible to the profitability swings that have weighed on other memory manufacturers? Could SanDisk move above $60 in the near term?  If it does, will McWilliams suggest investors sell the stock as he did the last time it crested above $60 in 2006?

-- At what price would McWilliams accumulate shares of Micron? Does McWilliams expect Micron shares to hit $10 this year?  Is Micron, as some on Wall Street suggest, a compelling acquisition target for Intel? What would a Micron buyout of Elpida mean for investors?

-- Is Lattice's new market-driven strategy beginning to pay off? Is Lattice likely to be threatened by bigger rivals Altera and Xilinx as it pursues that strategy? Could Lattice shares trade above $10 as Wall Street begins to take notice? Get the low-down on not only Lattice, but also sector leaders like Altera, Xilinx and others in McWilliams' State of Tech report covering the digital semiconductor sector.

-- After working for two years to rebuild its business model, is IDT now poised to move higher from here? Could shares trade above $10 as Wall Street begins to recognize the new story at IDT?

-- The flat panel industry went through inventory absorption in 2011. With year-end sales in the United States and the Chinese New Year, the inventory correction should be over. Will current demand return AU Optronics to profitability and thus a much higher stock price? Does McWilliams see glass supplier Corning as a better bet as flat screen production picks up?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 295% since its inception versus 52% for the S&P 500.
