Tibco Software Beats EPS Estimates
Tibco Software's stock is up 4 percent on a YTD basis but the company is showing a declining trend for its revenue. The company lately had been missing its estimates. However, it still maintains a strong position in its target markets. Another weak point for the company is the deterioration of its margins. Its fourth quarter results showed 2.4 percent growth for its revenue to $296.5 million, while it was expected to announce revenue at $297.9 million. However, its adjusted profit at 42 cents per share was better than consensus estimate of 39 cents per share. Download the free report on TIBCO Software Inc. by registering at

Tibco Software is realigning its business and brought about changes in the company's management. However, these steps are expected to yield results in mid- to long-term. Tibco Software declined to provide any guidance for its coming quarter or financial year, which is a negative sign. Though, Tibco beat consensus estimates for EPS, this was mainly due to the subdued preliminary figures provided by the company which prompted industry trackers to scale back their estimates. The company has good growth potential, but needs to work on its execution front. In the absence of any positive catalyst, the stock seems to have low upside potential. However, at the very same time, Tibco Software sports a robust balance sheet which may help it to navigate through rough times.
