What: Anadigics
So what: Smaller stocks (Anadigics has a $380 million market cap) can be whipped around by the slightest of breezes, and an upgrade is certainly enough to move them 10% or more. Related companies RF Micro Devices
Now what: According to StreetInsider.com, Needham & Co. upgraded Anadigics from hold to buy because of "current business momentum, the potential for incremental design wins, and significant operating leverage." Congrats if you hold the stock, but the upgrade alone is not a reason to buy without further due diligence on your part. Its size alone means it carries above-average risk, so be sure to do your homework.
