Computer Sciences Corp

  • The Best Choice In Computer Services

    By Matthew Frankel - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: CACI, CSC, IBM

    One of the leaders in computer services, Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) provides a variety of services to its clients, including consulting, outsourcing, and systems integration.  With shares more than doubling since their 52-week low of $22.19 hit last summer, but still about 20% below their pre-recession high, should investors wait for Computer Sciences to cool off a bit, or will the gains continue?

  • 3 Tech Stocks With Bullish Trends

    By Derrik Lattig - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, CSC

    When considering stocks, it's always helpful to gauge what the rest of the market thinks. One source of sentiment is the number of shares shorted. Companies seeing significant increases in shares shorted are being viewed more negatively, and vice-versa.

    I ran a screen on the technology sector for stocks seeing the most significant decreases in shares shorted month-over-month, as this indicates that short sellers are becoming less bearish on more »

  • This IT Services Provider is as Reliable as They Come

    By Ted Cooper - February 27, 2013 | Tickers: CACI, CSC, SAI

    The chaos in Washington, D.C. is creating a mountain of uncertainty throughout the United States economy. If Congress ever gets around to it, there will be large spending cuts to the federal budget. Since it is unlikely that any cuts can be made without reducing defense spending, defense contractor CACI International (NYSE: CACI) trades at a low multiple of historical earnings.

Just this January, the company again stamped its class in demand data and in business intelligence as it was named for the seventh straight year among the 10 Best in Class in these competencies. The rankings, done through a readers’ poll by the Consumer Goods Technology magazine, were based not only on more »

    Why does Einhorn love Computer Sciences (NYSE: CSC)? After breaking down why billionaire David Einhorn still loves Marvell Technology, it is time to take a look at another pick that Einhorn has outlined as one of his favorites, Computer Sciences. Greenlight managed to return only 4.9% during the fourth quarter, pushing the hedge fund’s total net return for 2012 down to 7.9% (see the top performing hedge more »

  • Tech Dividends Flying Under the Radar

    By Robert Ciura - January 29, 2013 | Tickers: CSC, MCHP, MOLX

    Investing in technology stocks isn’t usually aligned with dividend investing.  Investors who crave dividends from their stocks generally look to traditional income-producing sectors like utilities and consumer staples.  The truth is that market-surpassing dividend yields can be found within the technology sector.  For an investor willing to dig a little deeper into the universe of dividend-paying technology stocks, some hidden gems can be found that may be worthy of more »

  • Using a Divestiture Strategy for Growth

    By Shweta Dubey - January 2, 2013 | Tickers: ACN, CSC, IBM

    There are times when companies are compelled to sell some of their business units in order to use the capital for more growth-oriented businesses. For many years, divestitures used to give an impression that a company is going through a financial crisis. But Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) takes these divestitures as a strategy and always aims at selling its non-performing businesses and investing that capital in next generation technology more »

    By Hong Luu - December 4, 2012 | Tickers: CSC, DRCO, MANT

    In its financial report Q3 2012 on Nov. 1, 2012, Dynamics Research Corporation (NASDAQ: DRCO) had a $36.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge. This means that the reported loss for the quarter was $20.6 million and revenue was $76.8 million, compared with $96.4 million for the same period in 2011. Excluding this charge the net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $2.8 million more »

  • Future Outlook for November's Best Stocks

    By Brian Nichols - November 30, 2012 | Tickers: ANF, CSC, JDSU, TIE.DL, TRIP

    In the month of November the S&P 500 was virtually flat. However, for five stocks it was a month of incredible returns which led the market with unprecedented gains. But with such large monthly gains, is it time to unload these stocks and take profits, or are there still gains ahead?

He has become famous partly through his billionaire status and partly through his often very profitable presentations at investing conferences- perhaps most notably his short of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which fell about 80% in the year following his recommendation.

  • Is Mike Lawrie Driving a Turnaround?

    By Shweta Dubey - November 9, 2012 | Tickers: ACN, CSC, IBM

    Computer Sciences Corporation’s (NYSE: CSC) jumped 12% after it reported its 2Q13 earnings, surpassing analysts’ expectations. The company has significantly outperformed its large cap peers Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) this year returning 49.07%. I believe the company is still a good buy given its forward PE of just 10.80 that is lower than both Accenture and IBM. Also, given its much smaller more »

  • This Stock is a Cash Machine

    By Chad Henage - October 4, 2012 | Tickers: ACN, CSC, IBM

    I know that the consulting and outsourcing business is tough. I know that this company competes against the likes of IBM (NYSE: IBM), Computer Sciences (NYSE: CSC), and many others. However, when you get right down to the numbers, Accenture (NYSE: ACN) might be the best cash generating stock I've seen in a while. I haven't followed the stock for a long time, but I have to admit when I was reading over the consulting business results I had a flash in my head from Peter Lynch. He was looking at a company that dealt in consulting and said that he liked the consulting business. His comment was something along the lines of, what else do consultants need other than a notepad, a pen, and a calculator to add up their fees. While good business consultants are highly sought after and certainly use more than a piece of paper and pen today, the bottom line point he was making still holds true. This is a low expenditure high profit business. Let me walk you through Accenture's recent earnings and show you what impressed me so much.

  • This Global Consulting Firm is Poised to Outperform

    By Andrés Cardenal - June 23, 2012 | Tickers: ACN, CSC, INFY, IBM, WIT

    Consulting can be an attractive business area. Corporations all over the planet have complex and dynamic needs in areas like technology and outsourcing, and it doesn't make much sense to try to find every solution in house. Companies like Accenture (NYSE: ACN) deliver a valuable service by providing their specific knowledge and experience into areas in which most clients are not prepared enough to make the right decisions by more »
