On CAPS, 96% of the 502 members who have rated ANADIGICS believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include NorthStreet and tonykau.

Late last month , NorthStreet touched on several of ANADIGICS' positives:

Quality RF chip maker with plenty of extra capacity to accommodate growth without extra capex/expense. Strong balance sheet, strong takeover candidate. Recent revenue weakness makes price attractive. Good value here.

In fact, ANADIGICS currently sports a cheapish price-to-sales ratio of 1.0. That represents a clear discount to competitors Avago (3.9), RF Micro (1.6), and Skyworks (4.0).

CAPS member tonykau elaborates on ANADIGICS as a timely bargain opportunity:

Currently beaten down on decreasing volume, showing signs of trend exhaustion and is poised for at least a short term rebound. I believe this is a great time to buy, as the downside is technically supported, and therefore, not as risky, while the upside has a lot of room to run.
