Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Standard Microsystems (Nasdaq: SMSC) popped 12% in intraday trading today after earnings spanked analyst expectations.

So what: Non-GAAP EPS of $0.47 beat the consensus estimate of $0.28 and grew 42% year over year. GAAP EPS, which includes one-time items, was $0.26, up from $0.03 a year earlier.

Now what: Earnings benefited from higher revenue and lower SG&A costs. An acquisition that contributed to the revenue increase should have a larger impact in the current quarter.
