The street must have been braced for atrocious numbers because shares are up 4.9% in after-hours at $34.95, and that is after closing up 1% at $33.32 in regular trading. The 52-week range is $26.07 to $39.81. It is good to see a chip stock that can actually trade higher after earnings, but these guys could sure use a name change.
