Readers of this space know that the investment bias is toward large-cap companies with demonstrated business models and who have a competitive advantage in established markets, preferably with a favorable global trend as a support. But every once in while an exception is made for a non-conforming but innovative/promising company, and along this line Skyworks looks attractive. (Note: Skyworks is only for investors who can tolerate high-risk.)

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS) is a leading supplier to major mobile phone/PDA manufacturers.

Analysts really like Skyworks' radio frequency and manufacturing expertise, which enables the company to secure design wins with existing and new customers.

Skyworks, which began as a defense contractor, makes its integrated circuits out of gallium arsenide, a material that performs at higher speeds and with less energy consumption than the sector standard, silicon.

The choppy/consolidating (or perhaps worse) market conditions sometimes give the impression that growth plays do not exist. That is not the case, and one growth company worth reviewing is Cypress Semiconductor.

Cypress Semiconductor (NYSE: CY) is a manufacturer of high-performance integrated circuits, memory chips and silicon solar cells.

Analysts really like Cypress' revenue growth prospects of 23-25% following a likely 45-50% increase in 2007.

Analysts also like Cypress' recent acquisition of PowerLight Corp. and expect the purchase to drive a significant earnings increase. CY's SunPower business is another plus, due to its potential growth and undervalued status.
