  2. Recommendation • 100 bps increase in SIM allocation for IT resulting in 227 bps overweight Support: • Sector Size and Composition • Business Analysis • Economic Analysis • Financial Analysis • Valuation Analysis

  3. Sector Overview • Largest Weight • 16 Industries • Highly Cyclical • Revenues up 8% last quarter • EPS up 56% last quarter • Estimated 63% increase in earnings this quarter Source: Standard and Poors

  4. SIM Sector Allocation • Currently 127 Basis points overweight S&P 500

  5. Industries • By Market Cap:

  6. Industry Performance • By revenue growth:

  7. Industry Performance • By earnings per share growth:

  8. Industries: Summary • Attractive industries: • Semiconductor Equipment • Data Services • IT Consulting • Computer Hardware (HPQ, NCR) • Semiconductors (INTC) • Communications Equipment (RIMM) • Industries to Avoid: • Home Entertainment Software • Systems Software (ORCL) • Electronic Equipment • Electronic Manufacturing

  9. Largest Companies • 10 largest companies in S&P 500:

  10. Sector Performance

  11. Business Analysis • Sector growth depends on • Innovation • Technological advancement • Cost reduction • Highly diverse with companies in growth and mature phases • Few dominant players in each industry within the sector • Dependence on cutting edge technology leads to enormous R&D costs • R&D spending is 2.5 times of the automotive industry and more than 3 times of the pharmaceutical industry • R&D costs largest barrier to entry • Huge threat of substitutes and piracy

  12. Business Analysis (cont.) • Highly cyclical sector with large impact on SIM • Tends to have large growth during market recoveries • Can be highly volatile • Affected by customer and corporate spending • Signals point that both are increasing • Intel’s most recent earnings forecast signals a rebound in corporate IT spending • The iPad sold over 1 million units in just 28 days

  13. Business Analysis (cont.) • Growth potential in the smart phone and tablet market • Apple, Google, and RIM dominate the market making it difficult for other companies to be successful • Increased competition will decrease prices and result in lower margins • Growth potential in India, China, and Africa • As penetration rates approach 90% in developed regions companies look for new opportunities

  14. Business Analysis (cont.) • Other growth opportunities • Microsoft Office 2010 to be released in June • IT Solution Services • Risks of W-recession or unstable recovery • Last Thursday and Friday was a perfect example • Tech stocks were hit hard • Many lost all of their gains for the year

  15. Business Analysis Summary • Long-term • IT growth opportunities outweigh risks • Demand will continue to increase • IT becoming a business staple with massive growth potential • Short-term • Corporate spending/profits continue to increase • GDP growth

  16. Stovall’s guide to S&P Sector Rotation

  17. Stovall’s Sector Rotation • IT generally does well where business is down, unemployment is up, GDP is down, interest rates are falling and consumer expectations are down. • Fundamentals of companies can be influenced greatly by the surrounding economy • Business Cycle is used to understand the present position of the cycle and to predict what areas of the economy will be stronger in the future. • Strategy is to buy into a sector that is about to take off and sell at the peak.

  39. Industry Valuation: Semiconductor (INTC) Green= Cheap Red= Expensive

  40. Industry Valuation: Semiconductor (INTC) Green= Cheap Red= Expensive

  41. Industry Valuation: Systems Software (ORCL) Green= Cheap Red= Expensive

  42. Industry Valuation: Systems Software (ORCL) Green= Cheap Red= Expensive

  43. Industry Valuation:Communications Equipment (RIMM) Green= Cheap Red= Expensive

  44. Industry Valuation:Communications Equipment (RIMM) Green= Cheap Red= Expensive

  45. Conclusions Based on Valuation: • Sector as a whole and most industries within are currently undervalued; • Economy likely to pick up, upside potential in this sector.

  46. Recommendation • 100 bps increase in weight to 227 bps overweight • Top-line growth prospects: Office electronics, Data Services, Electronic Equipment, Semiconductor Equipment industries • Current phase of business cycle favors investment in the IT sector • Sector as a whole and the industries are currently undervalued
