- Tuesday, April 30, 2:20 PM Informatica (INFA -3%), Splunk (SPLK -1.9%), and Qlik (QLIK -3%), 3 names hyped as analytics/big data plays, slump in response to Microstrategy's (MSTR -11.1%) big Q1 miss, which includes a 24% Y/Y drop in produce license revenue. As is its custom, the business intelligence software vendor gives no reason for its miss, nor does it provide guidance or an earnings call. It is, however, happy to note its buyback program ($455M remaining) has been extended to April 2018. Microstrategy's numbers are overshadowing solid results from rival Actuate (BIRT +6.2%); the company posted 16% Y/Y Q1 license rev. growth, compared with nearly flat total rev. growth. Comment!

- Friday, March 22, 11:31 AM "Our issues are primarily execution-related," Tibco (TIBX -15.3%) CEO Vivek Ranadive asserts on his company's FQ1 call. He suggests Tibco has "weak leadership" in the Americas and the U.K., and hints at a restructuring. Shares have been hit with 2 downgrades following a revenue miss and light guidance. An 8% Y/Y sales drop in the critical finance vertical and a decline in $1M+ deals offset 50% growth in telecom. Randadive argues Tibco's ability to process both business transactions and events through its middleware/analytics offerings is a key differentiator. INFA -5.6% (previous). QLIK -3.1%. MSTR -2.2%. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
- Tuesday, March 5, 9:52 AM An upgrade to Outperform from FBR sends MicroStrategy (MSTR +6.6%) shooting higher. The firm expects recent sales personnel changes and margin expansion to provide a lift, and notes shares only trade at 1.4x EV/sales, well below the 3.2x sported by its peer group (ed: shares do, however, trade at a steep 26x 2014E EPS). Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]

Splunk, now close to its post-IPO highs, boasted on its earnings call of adding 400+ customers in FQ4, up from 350+ in FQ3. $100K+ orders totaled 171, up from 125 in FQ3, and included a $20M deal. Management talked up the potential of the security compliance market (25%-30% of bookings), and said it now has 160 customers on its Storm cloud platform. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]

- Friday, January 25, 10:44 AM Informatica's (INFA +10.4%) big Q4 beat (I, II) is stoking a rally in enterprise software stocks. Microsoft's decent Server & Tools performance might also be helping .
