Activision Blizzard, Inc. Research Report

Video game publisher Activision Blizzard saw its shares grow by as much as 16 percent this month on the wake of its strong earnings report amid the strong showing of its best selling franchises Call of Duty and Skylanders, with revenue coming in at $2.6 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 78 cents. The shares are expected to go further up with the release of its highly-anticipated StarCraft II sequel, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. However, declining sales of PCs and the rising popularity of tablets and smartphones could pose a threat to the company moving forward, but the upcoming Xbox and PlayStation consoles from Microsoft and Sony should still bring in more profits in the coming years.

Electronic Arts Inc. Research Report

Multi-platform video game developer Electronic Arts posted its Q3 2013 results with revenue declining nearly 7 percent year over year due to increasing competition, but still managed to post earnings per share of 57 cents thanks to its high margin digital revenue and strict cost management. Sales of FIFA 13 helped boost the revenue with over 12 million units for the quarter, or 23 percent more than FIFA 12. In addition, the sales help bring down EA's losses to just $45 million compared to $205 million the year before. Moving forward, the company will be focusing more on its stronger titles such as Battlefield and improving its popular Star Wars: The Old Republic. Electronic Arts is set to release more titles soon, rife with micro-transaction features that could earn additional income for the company.

Other games like Borderlands 2 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown contributed to the strong results as well, including strong holiday sales.

TIBCO Software Inc. Research Report

Tibco, provider of middleware and infrastructure software, helped put health care and temporary staffing provider back above support at its 10-week moving average with its stock performance as of late. The company predates cloud in the industry, so its latest software is an evolution from older, enterprise approaches. It makes the company a better fit with existing enterprise players that want to give their customers a glide path into cloud. Its most recent acquisition in 2010, was LoyaltyLabs, which works in the marketing space and is applicable across industry groups due to its becoming a platform. Motley Fool says the recently private Dell was a possible buyer before the talks.
