Citrix heruntergestuft: 30 Prozent Kursverlust

Die Aktie des Softwareproduzent Citrix (Nasdaq: CTXS) rutscht heute
am zweiten Tag in Folge stark ab. Grund: Heute
haben sich mehrere Analysten zu Wort gemeldet, die die
frühere Entscheidung von Citrix kritisieren, Software von Microsoft (Nasdaq:
MSFT) für ihr Netzwerk zu verwenden. Microsoft würde die
Netzwerksoftware kaum weiterentwickeln. Stattdessen setze der Softwareriese seine Energien
ein, um die Terminalserver unter Windows voranzubringen. Die stehen
aber in direkter Konkurrenz zu Citrix´ Metaframe-Technologie.

Der Eindruck der
Investoren von Citrix verdüsterte sich gestern weiter, als bei
der Konferenz von PainWebber der Finanzchef aus „persönlichen Gründen“
fehlte. An seiner Stelle sprach der Vizechef des Unternehmens
zu den Aktionären, berichtete aber nichts, was die Wall
Street hätte interessieren können.

Citrix ist heute vom Analystenhaus Dain
Rauscher Wessels von „Strong Buy“ auf „Buy“ zurückgestuft worden.
Die enge Bindung an den Konkurrenten Microsoft kostet Citrix
heute bislang knapp 19 Prozent. Die Aktie steht aktuell
bei 41-7/8 US-Dollar. Am Mittwoch lag der Kurs noch
bei knapp 60 Dollar. Allerdings könnte sie seit den
ersten Handelsstunden heute an der Nasdaq einen Boden gefunden
haben.


Wieder mal so eine dusslige Panikreaktion bei den Ami`s.
Fundamental völlig unbegründet, wie immer bisher.
Damit muß man leider leben.

Wie wärs hiermit ?
Bei 38$ liegt der Stoppkurs, wenn dieser nicht unterschritten wird,
solltest Du sofort kaufen.





MIAMI, June 9 (Reuters) - Citrix Systems Inc. <CTXS.O> shares lost 20 percent on Friday, a second day of losses that the specialty software group blamed on investor worries about weakening quarterly earnings.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based Citrix, whose stock lost 13 percent on Thursday, closed 10-3/8 off at 41-3/16 on volume of 5.0 million shares, making it the most heavily traded Nasdaq issue. It had been as low as 40-5/8 on Friday. Citrix had no comment.

Dain Rauscher Wessels analyst Sarah Mattison downgraded Citrix to a buy from a strong buy, saying some software sales during May had been done on discounts and that profit margins in June might be trimmed by more discounting.

Mattison said in a research note that she remained bullish over the longer term about Citrix, which supplies server software and services. She has a 12-month price target of $90 on Citrix.

But John Puricelli, analyst at AG Edwards & Sons Inc., said his own checks on Citrix`s recent software sales had shown no discounting and he expected the company to report very strong results for the quarter ending June 30.

Wall Street analysts were predicting that Citrix, which was expected to report results on July 17, would report second- quarter share profits of 21 cents, up from 16 cents per share last year, according to a consensus forecast compiled by First Call/Thomson.

Analysts said the Citrix drop was aggravated by the last- minute substitution of another senior Citrix executive for Chief Financial Officer John Cunningham at an institutional investors conference on Thursday.

The stock was also hurt by the possible court-ordered breakup of Microsoft Corp. <MSFT.O>, which raised fears the software giant`s proposed Windows-only unit may compete more aggressively in Citrix`s markets. Analysts said such a possibility was remote.

"Microsoft`s Windows operating system business is already a strong competitor in the system software market and is positioned both as a competitor and as a complementary partner to Citrix," Prudential Securities analyst Peter Ausnit said in a research note.

"We believe that this relationship will continue unchanged should Microsoft be partitioned."
