Anything with "American" in the name is a pretty safe short. I used to walk by the offices of LandAmerica Financial Group in 2007-2008. Considering they hit the trifecta (land, America and financial) it should go without saying they went bankrupt.

But seriously, AMSWA is overpriced on an earnings and cash flow basis, and the growth that analysts project does not appear likely to materialize.

Market Cap of $150M, $50M in cash vs no debt, forward P/E is 16. 6.5% dividend yield, but the payout ratio of 327% is unsustainable.

AMSWA is VASTLY undervalued. Especially below the 7 mark.

With it's consistently increasing, historied, and already large quarterly dividends matched with DRIP, and its ownership of LGTY, regardless of the companies earnings this stock is a winner.

If you buy 100 shares today and enroll in DRIP, and if the dividend and stock price stay the same, you would double the number of shares owned in 13.5 years.

that is without any growth whatsoever, which it is positioned to grow. With no debt, they can afford expansion while keeping the rising dividends active.

Curious to see if this one still has the legs to make another run for it. Pretty much at the 52-Week Low, no debt... seems like it could move.

This one has a steady sales growth, a current yield of 6.5% and great potential.

At it's current price it's a welcome addition to my portfolio

AMSWA pays a nice annual dividend, but other than that the stock is basically useless.

I like software stocks. This one owns most of LGTY, has no debt, and has a nice dividend.

Large amount of cash on-hand plus the reliability of a proven global distribution chain. The line of software product is applicable throughout the world-wide sales force.

AMSWA is absurdly cheap. Between their cash hoard and ownership of LGTY, you are basically getting their organic growth and dividend for free...

American Software has probably the sweetest dividend in the software space and that was the immediate attraction here. Upon further review, the company is growing at a steady 12-15% per annum with a forward price to earnings of just 17. I really love software companies with no debt, and AMSWA maintains $3 in cash per share. So basically you're getting a 4% dividend on a $5 stock after cash. Their earnings history can be a tad erratic with analysts having a hard time getting a good bead on their business fluctuations, but the risk/reward here seems reasonable.

This is a solid company although a small player in a field with a lot of competition. They have a couple of things that made me sit up and take notice, two of their biggest draws to me is a healthy dividend and zero debt.

They seem pretty well diversified and have been in business since 1970. Management seems to be level headed.

A software company that has developed a very powerful tool for POS (Point Of Sales) that is extreamly easy to use and incorporate into a retail type business.
