Put Broadband company ADC Telecommunications (ADCT), which I first wrote about in June 2009 at a price of $8.46, in the winner category.

In July, ADCT agreed to be acquired by electronic component and network solution provider Tyco Electronics (TEL), for $12.75 per share, subject to required approvals.

The deal translated to a roughly 50% gain if you were patient and held ADCT through its incremental rise in 2010.

Today was one of those days where the news was tied to more hope and a decent start to earnings season than over any great breaking global news. A barely-decent 10-Year Treasury auction was not showing anything rotten, and it seems that the corporate credit markets are starting to open back up. News on deficits being another $1 trillion held nothing back for stock gains. Can you believe it, six straight days of gains in stocks? Cramer coming back after a holiday and saying that the bottom of the market has been seen for the year may have also gotten some comfort back in the game from retail investors.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 10,363.02 +146.75 (1.44%)
S&P 500 1,095.28 +16.53 (1.53%)
Nasdaq 2,242.03 +43.67 (1.99%)

As expected, the shares of broadband network company ADC Telecommunications (ADCT), first discussed here on June 10, 2009 at a price of $8.46, have rebounded, and there's likely more upside ahead. Here's why:

First, look for a solid increase in year-over-year sales in the second-half of 2010, aided by U.S. broadband spending and robust equipment sales to China. Further, international broadband opportunities abound for ADCT. One example: fiber-based internet and Ethernet is in its infancy, both domestically and abroad, and each should see nice gains in 2010. Meanwhile, margins also should increase this year.

The stock of broadband network company ADC Telecommunications (ADCT), which I first wrote about on June 10, 2009, at a price of $8.46, has underperformed, but I still see a bright future for the company, for the following reasons.

First, look for a solid increase in year-over-year sales in second-half of 2010, aided by increased U.S. broadband spending and robust equipment sales to China. Further, international broadband opportunities abound for ADCT; one example: fiber-based internet is in its infancy, both domestically and abroad.

Here, for your consideration, are some stocks likely to thrive in the wireless tech revolution. As new devices and functionalities come onto the market, each of these stocks could perform strongly. Share prices are as of Wednesday's close.

ADC Telecommuncations' (ADCT) stock has misbehaved since recommended in June at $8.46, but I'm reiterating the buy rating; however, there are qualifiers, so close attention is advised.

ADCT is a global supplier of broadband network equipment, software, and systems integration services that enable communications service providers to deliver high-speed internet, data, video, and voice services, with an emphasis on that critical 'last mile' (homes/businesses) portion of network.

http://investor.adc.com/ADC Telecommunications (ADCT - option chain) stock is trading lower today after the company posted a fourth-quarter loss last night of $19.8 million, or 20 cents per share, on revenue of $183.9 million. ADCT also forecast a first-quarter adjusted loss of 10 to 0 cents per share on revenue of $250 million to $275 million. Analysts are forecasting a profit of 11 cents per share on revenue of $274 million.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says if the company you're looking at is a player in the mobile Internet space, it's probably a good bet.

Does it have smartphone exposure, or doesn't it? That is the question. When I look at what's moving in tech and what's become sullen and gloomy, there's only one compass: smartphones. Think about what's moved this week: Cree (NASDAQ: CREE) (Cramer's Take), Tellabs (NASDAQ: TLAB) (Cramer's Take) and ADC Telecom (NASDAQ: ADCT) (Cramer's Take). These are terrific plays in the smartphone food chain and are included in the "Mad Money" Mobile Internet Index.

ADC Telecom is Chinese Internet infrastructure, and we know that China's spending $40 billion to build out infrastructure that can allow aggressive adoption of smartphones. Tellabs has been waiting for next-generation telecom orders -- smartphones. I think the fact that it announced a giant buyback -- it matters when the stock is this small -- is the signal needed to suggest they are getting orders.

While the earnings crunch for this quarter is all but over, there is still plenty of action in the earnings arena this coming week. For instance, analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial are expecting America's Car Mart Inc. (NASDAQ: CRMT) and Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE: CPB) to be among this week's top earnings gainers.

Bentonville, Ark.-based America's Car Mart is expected to post net income of 38 cents per share (up 52.6% from the same period a year ago) on revenue of $73.8 million (up 25.8%). The used car dealer chain has tended in recent quarters toward positive surprises -- by 21 cents per share, or 73.5%, in the previous quarter. The long-term EPS growth forecast is 15%, about the same as the S&P 500. The consensus recommendation of analysts is to buy CRMT.

Campell is tentatively scheduled to report this week, and the world's biggest soup maker is expected to post net income of 25 cents per share (up 44.0% from a year ago) on revenue of $1.7 billion (up 7.5%). The Camden, N.J.-based company has just missed earnings estimates in the past three quarters. Its long-term EPS growth forecast is 7.5%, which is less than the industry average, but about the same as rivals Kraft Foods (NYSE: KFT) and Heinz (NYSE: HNZ). The analysts' consensus recommendation is currently to buy Campbell.

Other anticipated double-digit earnings gainers scheduled to report this week include brand name apparel maker Guess Inc. (NYSE: GES), mining equipment maker Joy Global (NASDAQ: JOYG), and chip maker National Semiconductor (NYSE: NSM). And Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ: TTWO) is expected to swing to a profit.

ADC Telecommunications (NASDAQ: ADCT) provides infrastructure equipment used by wireline, wireless, cable, broadcast and enterprise networks. Its systems connect high-speed Internet, data, video and voice services to residential, business and mobile subscribers. The firm also provides network management software and integration services. Ciena (NASDAQ: CIEN), Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) are on the company's customer list.

The firm surprised the Street last week, when it reported Q2 EPS of 39 cents and revenues of $403.4 million. Analysts had been looking for 30 cents and $384.8 million. Management also guided Q3 revenues to about $403.4 million ($395.70 million consensus), FY08 EPS to $1.25-$1.33 ($1.21 consensus) and FY08 revenues to $1.52-$1.54 billion ($1.5B consensus). Friedman Billings, Robert W. Baird, UBS and Deutsche Securities subsequently reiterated "buy" ratings on the shares. Lehman Brothers reiterated its "equal weight". All five firms boosted their price targets to the $18.50-$20.00 range.
