Shares in wireless network chip maker Atheros Communications Inc fell 4 percent Monday as an analyst downgraded the stock, saying the company has graduated from being a dark horse to meeting higher expectations. The company "rode the netbook wave" but pricing pressures on chips that work a new standard for wireless networks, 802.11n, and the likely loss of share in the competitive netbook segment will hurt growth, said Barclays Capital analyst Romit Shah. "We believe after the first quarter the challenge for Atheros will shift from beating and raising consensus estimates to meeting the bar," he said. Shah's target price for the shares remained unchanged at $40

Barclays Capital analyst Dr. Jim Birchenough reaffirmed a "Overweight" rating on Monday, saying he expects a rapid response from Amylin and the complete response could support approval by June.

Regarding UPS, Barclays Capital analyst Gary Chase wrote recently that while FedEx's fourth quarter guidance will be the focus of the earnings call, "We think the call will shift investor focus towards earnings expectations for UPS. we believe UPS earnings for the year have substantial potential upside, but especially in 1Q where we believe company guidance was very conservative." Essentially, the two overnight package companies are proxies for the economy, with the caveat that their business models generally enable them to make money no matter what the economy does. In the case of UPS, about 6% of the gross domestic product is in its system at any given moment.
