No Debt. Attractive valuation. Stable business, but volatile stock. Attractive takeover target. Strong patent portfolio, with favorable litigation results in the past.
Design wins should propel it a lot higher by 2009.

Large Cash position, no debt, insider buying. Accumulating as the short-term pop may not last, but expect a target price of 8 in the next 3 years.

Yes, it's yet another semiconductor stock in my caps portfolio that I'm using as a contrarian pick. Cirrus Logic is most attractive from a paper perspective, especially the $2.56 in cash per share with zero debt. I am also digging the fact that George Soro's fund has taken a 5.16% stake in the company. That isn't to say that Soros is always right, but thats a big name backing a smaller company and I love it. CRUS is trading at 11 times forward earnings and is at just 1.3 times book value. Historically low valuations on all levels with a huge cash position should mean little downside is left here. Park your money for 3 years and watch it outperform the market.

Cirrus Logic to acquire Apex Microtechnology (CRUS): Co announces that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Apex Microtechnology for $42 mln in cash. CRUS expects that the acquisition will become positive to earnings per share in the third fiscal qtr of 2008.

It was a nice pick before (stats + industry), it gets even more attractive after this acquisition.
