This is a good company. It's no longer a growth stock and won't soar up at exponential rates, but it does have a stable customer base. In the US, it has a good market share in the BI business. It's main competitors Cognos was bought by IBM last year. Any bets MSTR will be bought out soon? The CEO Mike Saylor, is a weird guy and has insisted on staying independent.

This is the only major BI (business intelligence) player that's still independent. IBM bought Cognos, Oracle bought Hyperion, SAP bought Business Objects - it's only a matter of time before Microsoft, Accenture, Experian, or even Google get in the game. Stock is also at a 2 year low.

With a gross margin of 80% and an operating margin of 25% for the first nine months in 2007, microstrategy is one healthy company. The great results of the latest quarter offset the lesser previous two and keep the company on track of its profitable growth path. The extra manpower in the sales department will have its full effect in the traditional best 4th quarter.
What sets this company apart from its peers is its comparably low p/e ratio of 20. This might be due to the attitude of the company towards the "analysts", not providing any forecasts and its overall low-key profile.
The thing i like most about this company (ironic in view of its history) is its wysiwyg book keeping. Without "employee" option plans since 2004Q4 this company is NOT eating away investor's future revenues off balance like in most tech companies. The share buyback programs DO eliminate stock outstanding and are not intended for covering up dilution. This is what makes it truly a value investment from the investor's point of view.
Downside is the inherent risk of a company with one man calling the shots. But I think Mr. Saylor wants to prove some people judged too quickly. And let's face it, he's halfway there.

BI is hot post SAP acquisition of Bus Objects; MSTR has some nice cusomters - a lot in retail space and web based businesses.
The other BI vendors will be distracted for the next year with acquisition issues (e.g. Hyperion acquired by Oracle and Business Objects acquired by SAP).
It has a good return on equity; just upgraded by S&P to Strong Buy.

Impressive ROE, operating margins, FCF, share repurchases. It may not be cheap at the moment, but it looks it is still growing at a reasonable price. I wish I had a better understanding of this business. With their outstanding growth and returns, it all comes to knowing whether or not they have a "moat".

Oracle and Microsoft's purchases of competitors clearly show the untapped potential of this industry segment. Oracle will, as always, fail in the application space, which will be a boon to MicroStrategy no longer having to compete against Hyperion. Business Objects doesn't seem to be picking up momentum on the high end of the BI space -- only at the low end with their Crystal Reports products. That will be a problem for BO, since all of the database vendors will offer something similar to Crystal -- and OTHER THAN Crystal -- as a standard component of the database itself.
As the BI tool of choice at almost every big data company, including Google, Yahoo, and eBay, MicroStrategy will have strong growth for the next two years, during which time they will sell themselves to the newly independent Teradata.
