Newbridge Securities Releases Quarterly Update of Inside Nanotechnology

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL | Posted on February 1st, 2007

"The NNIX gained 7.2% in Q4, narrowly exceeding the 6.9% rise in the NASDAQ," said J. Andrew Braswell, Equity Analyst for Newbridge Research and lead author of Inside Nanotechnology. "However, the NNIX lagged the broad indexes in full-year performance. Speculative interest in nanotech appears to be at a cyclical low level, and valuations across much of our coverage universe remain attractive." For each company, the report provides a recap of relevant news from the preceding quarter, along with analysis and commentary that helps investors discern the future leaders of this dynamic, emerging space. While the current universe of publicly traded, pure play nanotechnology companies remains relatively narrow, there are many exciting start-ups that appear poised for IPOs in the next few years. Furthermore, nano R&D initiatives ongoing at large, multinational corporations in industries such as chemicals, consumer electronics and semiconductors are beginning to determine the competitive advantages of tomorrow. "Going forward, nanotechnology will become increasingly relevant to all investors, growth-oriented or otherwise," said Braswell.
