McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- What six factors will continue to work in Qualcomm's favor going forward? What fairly unique complication do investors need to consider when looking at Qualcomm's balance sheet? Following a dip from its highs in 2011, is Qualcomm now trading at an attractive price? Will Qualcomm break through the $60 barrier in 2012?

-- What two factors does McWilliams expect will come together for Marvell in 2012? Given the potential for hard-disk drive demand to bounce back to normal levels and McWilliams' expectation for strong demand in wireless and mobile, is Wall Street vastly underestimating Marvell's upside potential in 2012? What is McWilliams' fair value range for Marvell and how much upside does it represent?

-- On July 17, McWilliams wrote that Broadcom's best course of action was to acquire either NetLogic or Cavium. About six weeks later, Broadcom announced it would acquire NetLogic for $50 per share. What opportunities will the NetLogic acquisition open up for Broadcom? Why do Broadcom investors need to take a close look at the company's stock-based compensation policies? What is the biggest risk facing Broadcom at this juncture? Is Broadcom oversold right now?

-- McWilliams says EZchip is one of the few small-cap tech stocks that merits consideration as a "strategic" investment. Is EZchip well positioned to continue its strong growth trajectory? How might Marvell's acquisition of EZchip competitor Xelerated impact EZchip? Are Wall Street's forecasts for EZchip way too low? Does McWilliams' in depth valuation analysis suggest that EZchip shares could be worth over $50 this year?

-- What four factors may slow PMC-Sierra's growth below expectations as it reports Q4 earnings? Does McWilliams expect PMC-Sierra to lower its outlook ahead of its Q4 report? Does McWilliams see PMC-Sierra as well positioned to overcome any short-term setbacks? Does an in depth valuation analysis suggest that PMC-Sierra shares could be worth more than double the current price in 2012?
