On CAPS, 679 of the 712 members who have rated Synaptics -- 95% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Prodders and toopersent.

Just yesterday, Prodders singled out Synaptics as a particularly smart decision: "Nicely placed to benefit from the smartphone product cycle, plus could also benefit if tablet PCs take off. Market arguably overreacted to recent earnings miss."

In a pitch from two weeks ago, toopersent also touched on the recent tumble:

Talk about a market overreaction to bad news. The 30% sell off of [Synaptics] was ridiculous, especially after that reported increased revenues in the most recent quarter.

The reason for the sell off was because of 1Q revenue guidance of $113-119 million, compared to expected revenues (from Reuters) of $127 Million. Certainly not worth a 30% sell off.

There is concern about their ability to maintain sales with PC and mobile phone handset prices dropping. However, there is still a huge market out there and I look to monopolize on good companies with stocks that just took a beating. Also, a super strong balance sheet.
