CA has been sitting at the bottom of the pack of information technology companies for a number of years, but things are looking up. The executive leadership team is finally starting to get a hold of the situation and are setting a new standard for… More

This company is dead. Cutting jobs in the US and hiring abroad to increase profits. No innovation. No flagship product. Even the company name CA was a horrible choice (abbreviation for California). Trying foing a Google search on the company name and… More

While I feel this stock will grow over the next year, that growth will most likely not be better than the S&P 500 over that same time span.

CA deals with a wide variety of softwares used in IT to better manage their infrastructure. In particular IT security management and storage management. Since 2007 management has made a concerted effort to help their customers better control and manage their resources instead of replacing them. In a hard economic cycle, reorganizing instead of replacing should be a preference of many business owners as a way of saving money.

2009 sales were at $4,271M which was just shy of equaling 2008 sales which were $4277M. I suspect sales will stay flat through their 2010 FY with perhaps a slight bump should the economy rebound quickly in the later half of 2009. But my expectations are that growth of sales won't be reflected until their 2011 FY which begins in April of 2010.

So increase in stock price will most likely occur, but that increase I don't believe will exceed the gains posted by the S&P 500.

Enterprise spending will be horrible in 09.
New subscriptions will suffer.
Outperformed significantly in the mkt downturn.
Opportunities elsewhere.
