Compuware Corp (CPWR)

Good industry to be in right now as business cut people and use technology. Easy 10% upside.

Compuware provides tools to improve software application productivity improvements for information processing installations. Improved effeciency and lower costs - a Great combination sort of like "Tasts Great, Less Filling!" How can that lose?

The P/E multiple is a modest twelve - not the 6 to 8 P/E ratios I prefer to but, but still reasonable.''

The Intrinsic Value is estimated by me to be in the $21-$23 range - higher perhaps if growth and earnings estimates prove to be low as the economy begins a recovery phase.

strong 5 year ROE& profit margin improvement and still at reasonable PE ratios

If you are in the programming business on mainframes, this is the company to have providing their products for support when things go wrong. It is essential part of the programming world and a business that should not go away because it's a part of too many main street businesses world-wide.

My expectations are for a slow but eventual recovery of it's share price over time. However, I expect it to underperform as compared to larger software companies or to the S&P because it is a mainframe niche player rather than an innovator to the PC software world.

Breakout with nice volume, any down move consider as a buying opportunity.

still has great ratings and chance for growth, and is a great buy for the next couple years as more companies look to maximize performance.

uum... AAAAhhh ~ Good stock?

who knows, but i think this is undervalue...

I am sure

The company took measures to get leaner and appear to be ready for the coming upsurge in services and software purchases that many companies have delayed.

The most hated stock today, look for a quick 10-15% in a few wks

Forecasts

A turnaround stock in the making. Stay tuned.

The Head man Pete Karmanos will retire at end of 2007. He's been aboard since he founded 30 years ago. Owns the Nashville hockey club and seems to have lost the Zeal with CPWR. Once it's announced ,the stock should bounce up and could be possible buyout. Has NO DEBT and close to 1 Billion in cash.

No top-line growth in a few years. Earnings growth is coming largely due to buybacks (from a large cash horde).

Also, there is a significant overhang of employee options (approx. 1.5 mill.) at 9.21.

However, there might be a catalyst for change in late 2007 or early 2008 as the founder/CEO steps down (after 30 years). The Street doesn't like Mr. K, and whoever is chosen as his successor might get a honeymoon period.

This is a company that has been transforming itself in the past year or so. However, the stock has been flying under the radars and it is certainly undervalued. I do see a definite growth of about 50% in the next 6 months. My analysis puts the stock value in the $12-15 range

Company is full of cash and willing to buyback shares

Compuware is a crappy company with a predictable pattern of rising and falling stock price. It is now at its low and will be riding higher.
