Rambus Shares Fly, While Applied Materials Gets Stung on 1Q Outlook
NEW YORK (AP) -- Semiconductor stocks were mostly down in Thursday afternoon trading, with a few exceptions -- like Rambus Inc. Shares spiked on speculation that the company could emerge from a lawsuit filed by the FTC relatively unscathed.
Rambus Inc., developer and licenser of memory chip technology, soared in heavy trading after an analyst speculated that two of Rambus' key memory technologies DDR2 (double-data-rate two) and DDR3, a next-generation memory technology, will not be included in a remedy for a case brought against Rambus by the Federal Trade Commission.
"Yesterday the final hearing in the FTC versus Rambus case was held in Washington D.C. Based on commentary made by all parties, we find it highly unlikely that DDR2 or DDR3 will be included in any final remedy by the Commission," wrote Jeff Schreiner, an American Technology Research analyst.
Schreiner lifted his price target on the stock to $32 from $28, and said he expects a final remedy to be issued within 45 to 60 days.
The FTC case centered on whether Rambus illegally monopolized the memory chip interface market in the 1990s when it secured patents for two types of memory used in personal computers. Rambus was accused of failing to disclose to an engineering council that its patents had been incorporated into an industry standard regarding memory technology. Rambus argued it did disclose the patents.
Shares of Rambus, which have traded between $10.25 and $46.99 over the last year, were up $3.90, or 23.4 percent, at $20.55 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq. Shares were trading at nearly twice the average daily volume.
