Q&A:
Specific Stocks
What is going on with SIGM? It was up recently on no news that I can find. I’m thrilled, but slightly confused.
Sigma Designs (SIGM) currently rated as a C in PortfolioGrader Pro. The company makes all kinds of specialty chips used in digital cable boxes and HD television processors. Although Sigma Designs was recently beaten by Broadcom for a major contract with Motorola, the company’s prospects remain strong and the company recently issued an upbeat forecast, so I expect that the Sigma Designs should continue to post strong sales and earnings growth. The stock has been recovering and remains a HOLD.
