Upgrades/Downgrades and News by Sector:

IT/ Tech:

• While 2Q06 proved difficult for sector share price performance, we remain
  constructive on select stock price outlooks for the next six-to-12 months. Our
  top Analog picks are company-specific stories including MCHP (new products,
  margin improvement), ISIL (long-term organic revenue growth), FCS (classic
  portfolio restructuring), and ONNN (FCF growth/balance sheet restructuring and
  margin improvement). Overall, these companies offer a mix of offensive
  characteristics which we believe are well-suited for a demand-uncertain
  environment. - TN
  
  
• Citigroup is positive on MCHP, ISIL, FCS, & ONNN due to EPS growth, valuations,
  and catalysts.
