CAPS Rating:
***

The Company develops, markets, licenses and supports software to automate complex, changing business processes.

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.

Pegasystems is a software supplier catering to the Business Process Management (BPM) software market. The term BPM sums up the whole processes and systems that exist in an organization. The Company is second in the sector with close to 12% of market share. The company develops, licenses, services and markets software that is used to manage complex and changing business processes in an organization. The company uses direct sales channel and associated with top notch IT consultant companies like Accenture and EDS to market its products and services. The products mostly cater to the financial and healthcare verticals and largely restricted to the U.S.

The company recognizes revenue primarily from licensing new products and services related to new products. The industry is shifting slowly in the favor of professional services for new products with more and more customers demanding it. This is true for the company too as its revenue from this area is increasing steadily and has outpaced the revenue from new license implementation. Also, the revenue recorded under the licensing segment has declined due to change in revenue recognition policy, that is, recognizing revenue only after implementation.

The BPM market is expected to reach approximately $2 billion by 2007. Trends like outsourcing, migration of more and more companies to automate their process and to align with the changing business are aiding the growth of this sector. The business environment as such is changing and companies are searching for IT infrastructure that can evolve effortlessly with these changing times. Pegasystems is well positioned to take advantage of this situation with its strong product offering and well-trained sales and service personnel. The company is also planning to expand its presence into more business verticals. The earnings growth of the company is expected to factor in these positive signals and the share price is also expected to perform well.

Has not done well, but customer satisfaction is high and there's plenty of market growth. Compared to competitors it's a easy to understand and easy to use product.

Business management software is a huge market. This company has grown appreciably in the past and rewarded stockholders. With 63% of the company held by insiders, a huge market, and quarterly dividends, we should see this stock grow in the future.
