SAN JOSE, Calif., April 26, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Atmel Corporation (ATML), a worldwide leader in the development, fabrication and sale of advanced semiconductors, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $419.8 million, versus $408.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 and $407.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. Net loss for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $43.0 million or $0.09 per share. These results compare to a net loss of $7.1 million or $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter of 2004, as well as a net income of $11.0 million or $0.02 per share for the first quarter of 2004.

"Demand for our products strengthened during the first quarter, as illustrated by the 3% sequential revenue growth, despite a tough pricing environment," stated George Perlegos, Atmel's President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we experienced some manufacturing difficulties during the quarter, our gross margins came under pressure. We are now taking steps to improve our overall cost structure in such a way that allows our increasing demand to more fully yield increased profits.

"Our ASIC revenue grew 3% sequentially in the first quarter, and was up 4% over the first quarter of 2004. Smart card ICs were the main contributor to the revenue growth. As this business continues to provide revenue growth and market share gains, we are working diligently to improve the yields of our smart card IC wafers as well as to increase the production of our smart card ICs on a 0.18-micron line width in order to improve their profitability. Up to this point of the second quarter of 2005, we have already seen material improvements in both the yields and the ramp of our 0.18-micron smart card wafers.

"During the first quarter of 2005, our microcontroller sales grew approximately 2% sequentially, while they declined by approximately 20% year over year. We experienced growth in our proprietary AVR and 8051 microcontroller products. The decline in revenue from the first quarter of 2004 is primarily related to the end of life buys for some of our military and aerospace products during the first quarter of 2004.

"Sales in our RF and Automotive business unit in the first quarter were up 21% sequentially and 40% year over year. An increase in our production of RF BiCMOS products for CDMA phones was the main reason for the growth during the quarter.

"During the first quarter, our Non Volatile Memory business declined 10% sequentially and declined 8% when compared to the first quarter of 2004. Recently, we have chosen to significantly shift our approach to selling memory by focusing on our serial memory products, which include serial EEPROM and serial DataFlash(TM) products. Our serial products have experienced 6% sequential and 6% year over year growth, and have maintained the number one market share position in their respective markets," concluded Mr. Perlegos.

Outlook

The Company anticipates that for the second quarter of 2005, revenues should be flat to slightly up when compared to the first quarter of 2005. Additionally, R&D should be approximately $70-$74 million, while SG&A should be between $48-$52 million. Finally, gross margins should be up two to three points during the second quarter, primarily due to manufacturing improvements in our smart card ICs. Net interest expense for the quarter should be approximately $4-$6 million, while income taxes should be approximately $2-$6 million. We anticipate that depreciation and amortization will be approximately $77-$80 million.

Ciao Cathays. Apprezzo quello che hai scritto e condivido in pieno il tuo pensiero: complimenti per le tue parole.
Sul mercato americano opero prevalentemente con piccole somme: sono long con la maggior parte del mio gruzzolo sul mercato italiano, in un'ottica di cassettista e, ad oggi, con una buona performance.
Spesso gli investimenti che faccio sul mercato americano sono mordi e fuggi e mi accontento anche di gain di pochi punti percentuali. Per il lungo termine non mi fido per via del cambio euro / $ e per via del fatto che come hai detto tu può capitare che un giorno ci sia uno sprint da centometrista e il giorno dopo resti in mutande. Diciamo che negli States mi baso più sull'analisi tecnica che sui fondamentali, anche se in casi come CESV e altri titoli i fondamentali mi piacevano (e mi piacciono) molto.
Se il titolo non si muove come previsto cerco di essere il più disciplinato possibile nell'impormi degli stop loss (variabili tra il 5% e il 10% a seconda dello scenario tecnico), che come detto altrove non sono nel mio caso automatici ma manuali.
Su ATML sono entrato per via del possibile doppio minimo e per via dell'interessante impostazione di tutti gli indicatori tecnici (è spuntato anche il segnale buy dal parabolic SAR).
So bene che per il lungo termine "the trend is your friend", ma se ti accontenti di un guadagno in termini di 10%-15% (l'avidità è una brutta bestia) credo che anche interessanti scenari tecnici che si disegnano su un titolo possano rappresentare occasioni per riuscire a fare un po' di gain nel breve.
Buon lavoro anche a te, ti leggo sempre con interesse.

Continua a testare i 2$ senza riuscire a bucarli, ieri discreta chiusura a 2,06$.
 
Ha superato la EMA20, discreti volumi...che dite, potrebbe disegnare una tazza?

PS: mentre scrivo quota 2,12

Ultima modifica:
cosa intendi per una "tazza " ?
 
"Cup and handle" o tazza con manico è una figura che si presenta ogni tanto nei grafici

Grazie .
Per tua info ATML produce chip " proprietary " ( micro ) e in un eventuale ripresa del mercato semiconduttori i loro margini sono destinati a crecere a dismisura . Altra componente buona è che essendo rivolti a un mercato di Nicchia è piu' difficile che incontri una crisi dalla quale non si rialzi .

Ciao e grazie
 
Ukraine hai pre :cool: bene il bottom OK!
