Breakout of quiet, four year downtrend. Looking for a 200% rise from the average price in the downtrend (about $6.50) so my price target is about $19.50. If it spends significant time hesitating, then target may be raised.

This stock currently has net working capital at around 409 million. The stock has 38.99 million shares outstanding, and at 10.14 this gives us a market cap of 395 million. Just based on this, the stock is due for a 3-4% run up. It has been driven down partially from fundamentals, partially from panic. I aim to capitalize on sells' irrationality.

OK, so if networking and infrastructure are kicking butt recently, why did Exar miss the train? Well Exar was too busy merging with Sipex and getting rid of one of their largest rivals. It will immediately add to revenues but it will probably be until 2008 until we see a material impact to the earnings bottom line. What i love about Exar is their $9.70 in cash per share and no debt. Basically you are paying for a company trading at just 22 times forward earnings that will earn 43-56 cents per share and minus cash, is trading at around $4 a share. Thats just sadistically inexpensive. The cash will serve as a downside buffer. Its not the most exciting technical mover but buying here just makes sense with so much cash on hand. I still consider them a buyout candidate.

Exar Corporation and its subsidiaries design, develop and market high-performance, high-bandwidth physical interface and access control solutions. These solutions facilitate the aggregation and transport of data in access, metro and core wide area networks over the worldwide communications infrastructure. The company’s analog and mixed-signal silicon solutions are used for a variety of markets including networking, serial communications, clock and timing, and storage.

The company reported a 5.3% decrease in the revenues in the third quarter of the fiscal 2007 as compared to the same period in the previous year. Never-the-less the company bagged 118 design wins in the quarter. The company also successfully transitioned the manufacturing of Tethus to a more cost-effective package which will be used to fulfill all of its future shipments and started taking pilot production orders for the two additional design wins for the Tethus, which is expected to add revenue in early fiscal year 2008.

The company has strengthened its T&E product portfolio by introducing a highly-integrated 21-channel E-1 solution with reduced power and higher performance. These new devices target high growth markets like Europe and China where the cost sensitive transport networking applications are required. The company is also continuously expanding in the UART area with its market-leading serial communication portfolio which introduced three new devices, two of which were industry-first products.

The inventory correction going on in the market and the rise in channel inventory of the company which was the main cause of the decline in the revues is declining. Moreover the demand from the company’s customers is steady and is expected to rise with the end of the inventory correction. Additionally with 26 new design opportunities with tier 1 customer in pipeline the company is expected to be on a growth track and benefit its investors in the coming future.

Wow, this one is so overlooked, and extremely cheap from my pov. It has a share repurchase plan, a huge chunk of cash on the books, if only it had a dividend to finish the triple play. Right now you can buy this company for roughly 65mil.
