Hot Japanese Stocks To Invest In Right Now

The rollercoaster ride continued on Wall Street today, but stocks swung back near breakeven in late trading to save what could have been a very bad day. In early trading the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI  ) dropped 127 points on the back of a big overnight drop in the Japanese stock market and a report showing contraction in China's manufacturing. HSBC said preliminary data for its Purchasing Managers' Index in China showed a reading of 49.6, which signals slight contraction and continues a streak of falling numbers. But by the last hour of the trading session, Wall Street had moved on from problems in Japan and China, and the Dow was down just 0.06%, while the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC  ) had fallen 0.25%. �

The big headline of the day was Hewlett-Packard's (NYSE: HPQ  ) surprise earnings beat and the stock's 16.4% jump today. After the market closed last night the company reported�adjusted earnings per share of $0.87 and a 10% decline in fiscal second-quarter revenue to $27.6 billion. Both were enough to beat estimates, and the $0.06 earnings beat was the big driver of the stock's move today. Better-than-expected earnings from HP are great, but let's not forget that every operating segment is in decline, and profit only beat expectations by virtue of massive cost-cutting efforts.�

  Shares of SLAB are trading higher today despite the fact that a UBS analyst cut his rating on the stock from to neutral from buy, but maintained his price target of $43. One of the reasons cited for the downgrade was valuation, since the stock is trading at a slight premium to its historical average.

  From a technical standpoint, SLAB is starting to flirt with some near-term overhead resistance at $43.61. Market players should watch for a breakout trade to trigger if SLAB can manage to sustain a move and close above $43.61 on heavy volume.

  Volume is already tracking in extremely strong today, so watch for a close over $43.61. If we get that move soon, then look for SLAB to re-test $45.10 to $45.50. A move above those levels will set this stock up to trend back towards $46 to $47 in the near future.

  As of the most recently reported period, Silicon Labs shows up in Coatue Management's portfolio, comprising 2.2% of the total.
