Seeking Alpha: FSI International - This Small Semiconductor Company Could Clean Up

It has already been a fairly solid year for many companies in the semiconductor equipment space. With guidance from major players like Applied Materials (AMAT) and ASML (ASML) suggesting that dawn is breaking and the merger between Lam Research (LRCX) and Novellus (NVLS) hinting that business is getting back to normal, investors seem to be willing to consider risky stories again.

Unlike some of those small peers, though, FSI is coming into a cyclical upswing with a new product and the potential for some real sales momentum. Couple that with the fact that this stock is barely followed and has about 10% short interest, and it may not take much for this stock to do even more in 2012.
