SiRF Technology Goes Its Own Way (SIRF, NVT)
July 31, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyreSiRF Technology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:SIRF), a Global Positioning Systems chip maker, isn’t following quite the same lead of NAVTEQ (NYSE:NVT) in after-hours trading. It is possible that the street read the GAAP EPS headline number rather than the non-GAAP, although the revenues look a tad light.
The company posted $0.23 non-GAAP EPS on revenues of $70.6 million, and gross margins of 54.6%. Unfortunately, Wall Street was looking for $0.23 EPS on $71.5 million in revenues. The share calculation was up to 56.5 million shares from the prior 56 million shares from Q2 2006.
Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $211.0 million at June 30, 2007, compared with $170.2 million at December 31, 2006. Long-term investments were $2.0 million at June 30, 2007, compared with $26.4 million at December 31, 2006. Shares are down about 7% in after-hours trading, and unfortunately that will put shares within 10% of its 52-week lows. We’ll have to see how this trades tomorrow morning when it is more liquid before passing any final judgement.
