PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Inning Technology Research (http://www.nextinning.com), an online investment newsletter focused on semiconductor and technology stocks, has published updated outlooks for Harmonic (Nasdaq: HLIT), JDS Uniphase (Nasdaq: JDSU), ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), Power-One (Nasdaq: PWER), and Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI).

Next Inning editor Paul McWilliams was named the winner in both the Forbes and AOL stock picking contests for newsletter writers in 2010. His top pick for 2010 moved up over 132% for the year, and Next Inning free trial subscribers now have access to his top picks for 2011, a total of ten stocks that McWilliams sees as the big winners this year. The Next Inning model portfolio is up 375% since it was started in 2002, about nine times the 44% return for the S&P 500 over the same period. Investors are now turning to McWilliams' in depth commentary to identify the tech sector winners and losers during the current earnings season.

McWilliams covers these topics and more in his recent reports:

-- What demand drivers does McWilliams think will benefit Harmonic this year? What are his forecasts for 2011 revenue and earnings and how do they stack up against the Wall Street consensus estimates? What does he see as a fair value price for the stock today? Does McWilliams think Harmonic will merit a solidly double-digit price by year-end?

-- McWilliams was right to pound the table for fiber optic stocks Finisar and JDS Uniphase in 2010. When we entered 2010, he clearly called Finisar his favorite of the two and, as it turned out, its 233% gain outpaced JDS Uniphase by better than two to one. However, 2011 is a new year. After such a strong performance in 2010, will Finisar again outperform JDS Uniphase or might it work out the other way around? Which stock is McWilliams expecting to be more volatile?

-- Is ON Semi facing competitive threats from Texas Instruments' 300mm fab initiative? Why might it be better shielded from potential threats than its rivals? What is McWilliams' estimated fair value range for ON Semi?

-- Does McWilliams agree with Power-One's move to recast itself as a company with a "green" energy-related business model? What is the greatest barrier to entry facing Power-One's key renewable energy initiatives? Should Power-One investors be paying attention to competitive threats from China?

-- What is unique about Power Integrations' technology? What difficult-to-predict wildcard may make Power Integrations a more risky play? What is McWilliams' fair value range for Power Integrations, and what potential does he see for the stock longer term if certain events come together?

Founded in September 2002, Next Inning's model portfolio has returned 375% since its inception versus 44% for the S&P 500.
