Advent Software, Inc. (ADVS)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company offers integrated software solutions for automating and integrating data and work flows across investment management organizations, as well as the information flows between investment management organizations and external parties.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This company has signed enough long term contracts to almost guarantee revenue for the next 3 years. It is all about execution to fulfill these contracts and garner the profit.

cash flows are pretty crappy for a software co.

competition is ramping up - alternatives to their products like pertrac software and in-house built systems.

Valuation is way too high for what they are making and what they will make. This is well overdue for a correction.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
