What are your thoughts on Sigma Designs (SIGM)?
Sigma (SIGM) is currently rated as a “B” in PortfolioGrader Pro and recently sold off on relative high trading volume. The stock has suffered from institutional selling pressure, despite being characterized by strong sales (up 166.4%) and earnings growth (up 566.7%). Sigma has been fighting some analyst downgrades from Outperform to Neutral, but all the analysts that I have surveyed expect that Sigma Designs’ first quarter will be very strong due to Blu-Ray and other technologies that are boosting its sales. As a result, I believe the stock is a very good near-term buy.
