PMC-Sierra, Inc. (PMCS)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company designs, develops, markets and supports communications semiconductors, storage semiconductors and microprocessors primarily for the communications service provider, storage, and enterprise markets.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

They just can't seem to put it together. All that you have to do is compare them to long-time competitor BRCM to know that this is dead money.

Avatar Budsworth (40.99) Submitted: 4/10/08 8:15 AM : Outperform Start Price: $6.25 PMCS Score: 29.30

A world class developer, manufacturer, marketer for systems of Broadband communication, as well as one of the world's leading providers of enterprise storage solutions for networked (SAN/NAS))
and server storage applications. Their portfolio goes way beyond that short description. They have joined hands in a Multi-Year Development Contract with IBM for the perfection and development of the RAID Chipset. This promises to be the most up-to date technology in the world of server storage. It will effect home, businesses of all sorts, government, and so forth. A totally incrypted technology, it will allow for safekeeping of information. Due to their innovation in the field of fibre-optics, the speed of data recovery over distances will be literally light-speed. I'm looking forward to watching this company grow.

Asia is going ballistic with the new FTTH and network buildouts. Taiwan and China are buying from this company.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
