  • A Lot of Potential for Those Who Want Some Adventure In Their Portfolios

    By Matthew Frankel - May 18, 2013 | Tickers: ADBE, CTXS, CRM

    Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) is the leader in software-as-a-service (SaaS) computing solutions, which is an industry that is still in its infancy. Through several acquisitions and good internal development, the company has greatly expanded its offerings, and investors and analysts seem to be very optimistic about the future. My concern is that perhaps too much growth is priced in, and that the company won’t be able to produce the more »

  • Why This Tech Stock Looks Like a Good Value

    By Lee Samaha - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: CSCO, CTXS, FFIV

    The difficult earnings season for technology continues, and Citrix Systems (NASDAQ: CTXS) didn't disappoint to disappoint. The market is in no mood to take prisoners right now with any kind of tech company that misses revenue and earnings forecasts. Consequently, the stock took a battering after it missed and guided earnings lower for Q2. On the other hand, I think there are some mitigating circumstances and this drop is more »

  • Buy These Stocks if You Want to Bank on Big Data and the Cloud

    By Shweta Dubey - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: CTXS, INFA, VMW

    With the increasing demand for data security, efficiency, and the growing use of software-as-a-service, IT companies are constantly upgrading technologies in their services and products. Also, they are taking initiatives to cope with the rapidly changing demand emerging from breakthrough technologies like Big Data and Cloud Computing. I have discussed three such companies, which have dealt with these changes perfectly and were successful in defending their market shares.

  • The Slump in These Tech Stocks Could be Ending

    By Chris Lau - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: CTXS, CKSW, IDCC

    When a company reports quarterly earnings that miss expectations or contain a weak outlook, it gives investors something to think about. Even more analysis is required for investors when the stock drops in response.

    When Citrix Systems (NASDAQ: CTXS) reported results, shared plunged. InterDigital Communications (NASDAQ: IDCC) and ClickSoftware Technologies (NASDAQ: CKSW) were in a downtrend prior to earnings announcements, and shares rose slightly in recent sessions.

  • F5 Networks Goes in the Penalty Box

    By Dave Zaegel - April 26, 2013 | Tickers: CSCO, CTXS, FFIV

    F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) provides solutions that optimize and secure networks.  They are right in the middle of a huge market resulting from the need to process large amounts of data faster and also protect networks from growing security threats.  I have long been a fan of F5 Networks.  It's been on my list of Top 5 Tech Stocks for both Fall 2011 & Fall 2012.  I also put it more »

  • The Key Earnings For The Week of April 22

    By Lee Samaha - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: CHKP, CTXS, SWK, VFC, YUM

    It’s another huge week for earnings. In this article I've suggested some of those companies that I find interesting and provide some ideas for further research. It’s also a good time to try and check the underlying trends in the economy versus what individual companies are saying about them.

  • The Cloud War

    By Shas Dey - April 18, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, CTXS, RAX, RHT

    According to Gartner research, the convergence of a “Nexus of Forces” i.e. social interaction, mobility, cloud, and information, will drive growth in technology in 2013. Specifically, Gartner has forecasted that the public cloud services market will grow 18.5% in 2013 to a total of $131 billion worldwide, up from $111 billion in 2012. Further, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), including cloud computing, storage and print services, is the more »

  • Is There A Reason This Company Is So Cheap?

    By Mike Thiessen - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: CTXS, PLCM

    Over the past few months, market-watchers have been turned on to an often-overlooked company that has dramatically improved its balance sheet and produced some eye-popping stock movements. Teleconferencing firm ClearOne (NASDAQ: CLRO) has seen its stock nearly double in value since the beginning of 2013 alongside some encouraging financial news. 

    Despite these positive movements, the company's P/E ratio remains severely depressed. Relative to two of its closest competitors more »

  • Who Gets Hit in the Cloud Hangover II?

    By Dana Blankenhorn - April 15, 2013 | Tickers: CTXS, EMC, VMW

    A recent comment on another story recently offered me some sound advice in looking at cloud companies:

    “All cloud companies are software companies, but not all software companies are in the cloud."

    The intent of cloud designers is to abstract as much of computing's complexity as possible to software, and then run that software on commodity hardware. Virtualization is one step, allowing a computer to run programs on multiple more »

  • Don't Always Pick the Low Hanging Tech Fruit

    By Marshall Hargrave - April 14, 2013 | Tickers: CSCO, CTXS, FFIV, JNPR, RVBD

    F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) took a beating last week, seeing its stock tumble some 20% on disappointing earnings and a poor 2013 outlook, but is the news really all that bad? With the company's positioning in an exciting and high growth industry, it's tough not be intrigued, to not at least take a look at the stock. But I think the stock could be low for a reason more »

  • To Call This Fund a ‘Tech Bull’ Would Be Putting it Lightly

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 14, 2013 | Tickers: BV, BRCM, CTXS, GOOG, SONS

    Empire Capital Management, run by Scott Fine and Peter Richards, invests heavily in the technology sector, with more than three-quarters of the entire value of the fund’s equity portfolio in tech stocks. This strategy seems to be paying off nicely for the duo’s 13F-reportable assets, as it has grown in value by roughly 15% since the third quarter of 2012. In addition, all of the top five holdings more »

  • Is F5 Networks' Fumble a Buying Opportunity?

    By Leo Sun - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: CSCO, CTXS, FFIV, JNPR, RDWR

    F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV), once one of the hottest growth stocks in the market, recently crashed to a two-year low after the company provided bleak guidance for its first quarter, which ended on March 31. The Seattle-based company, which produces devices that optimize network connections between servers, firewalls and applications, offered such downbeat guidance that it dragged down its entire networking sector.

  • Why Did This Tech Company Crash?

    By Lee Samaha - April 6, 2013 | Tickers: CTXS, FFIV, RDWR, RVBD

    F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) pre-announced results and delivered the kind of eye watering earnings miss that only small company technology investors can fully appreciate. In truth it was a pretty nasty miss on the top and bottom lines. As ever the market will react with a savage markdown and then start guessing at the causes. Is this an F5 issue or does is it an issue of broader based technology more »

  • Are These True Cloud Or Cloud-Washing Companies?

    By Zain Abbas - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: CTXS, CNQR, N

    Recently, cloud computing companies have received special interest from the Street as the smart analysts try to separate the true cloud companies from companies accused of “cloud washing.” In this respect, some stocks have received bearish opinions from most of the analysts. Following discussions gives a flavor of why this bearish point of view might not be the right one:
