Maxim is a semiconductor company that makes great products and they are good at what they do. They have been beaten down over options pricing issues recently. They have 1.4B in cash, no debt, great margins and I think they are selling pretty cheap right now.

This company is still growing. Don't see much down side.

The company specializes in analog circuitry, which is not something every company can do, or do well. It currently sports a decent dividend yield for a technology-heavy company, too.

Caught up in a sector sell-off. Currently at a bargain price - PEG of about 1.0. Long consistent history of sales and earnings growth.Earnings growing 15+% for past 3 years, only one down year(01-02). ROA in the upper teens for the past 4 years. ROE hovering near 20% for the same time frame. They pay a 1.8% dividend as well.Yes it is a "semiconductor" firm, but it specializes in analogue and mixed-signal integrated circuits.It is stuck in a sector downdraft, it may take time for the market to fairly value the company.
