Here is a blurb about XICO:
Xicor makes and markets semiconductor memory devices. Its E(2)PROMs (electrically erasable programmable ROMs), SerialFlash memory devices, and NOVRAMs (nonvolatile RAMs) retain information during power losses. These support products can write over old data without first erasing it and can be reprogrammed bit by bit or in larger groups of bits, called words or pages, without being removed from the system. The devices use a five-volt power source and fully integrated control and timing circuits. They need no external support circuits, so they are suitable for portable and handheld devices. Xicor's products are sold worldwide for consumer, industrial, and military applications.
Their market is pretty wide, though competitive. If they have survived so far, they should do well during the upcoming good times. Maybe that is why Valueline rates XICO as timely as they see good growth prospects. XICO is notorious for reporting low profits or big losses. Hopefully, that will change in the months ahead. |
