Borland-Aktie wieder sexy - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[Delphi5]

Analysten von der Wall Street, welche die Borland-Aktie lange Jahre totgesagt hatten, bekunden wieder Interesse an dem Papier des Technologie-Unternehmens aus Scotts Valley. "Dieses Borland ist nicht das Borland unserer Väter" sagte Analyst David Breiner laut einer Meldung von cnet und stufte das Papier auf "Buy". Borland habe es unter der Führung von Dale Fuller geschafft, sich neue technologische Entwicklungen zunutze zu machen, welches sich vor allem im Java-Engagement der Kalifornier zeige, aber auch in der Fortsetzung seiner bewährten Technologien wie Delphi.

Auch im Markt der J2EE-Application Server habe Borland einen guten Stand, so Breiner weiter, dieser Markt soll im Jahre 2003 ein Volumen von 5,5 Milliarden US-Dollar erreichen. Er lobt die Borland-Aktie daher als einen kostengünstigen Weg, sich im Java-Markt zu engagieren.

Die Aktie von Borland war in den 80er Jahren sowie in den frühen 90ern um 90 Dollar wert, bevor sie dann 1993 auf unter 20 Dollar rutschte. Momentan ist sie für etwa 14 Dollar zu haben.

Borland Reaffirms Guidance for Q1 and Full Year 2002
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2002--Borland Software Corporation (Nasdaq:BORL - news) reaffirmed its first quarter and full-year 2002 guidance. Borland expects revenues to increase approximately 14%-17% in the first quarter of 2002 when compared with the first quarter of 2001. Gross margins for the 2002 first quarter are expected to remain in the 83%-85% range, and operating margins are expected to approximate those delivered in the fourth quarter of 2001. Non-operating income is expected to continue to be impacted by changes in the Federal Funds rate. Earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.09 in the first quarter of 2002. Depending on Borland`s stock price performance, weighted average shares outstanding could range from 75 million to 77 million diluted shares as determined by the Treasury method. Looking forward, Borland anticipates 2002 annual revenues to increase 12%-18% over 2001 revenues. At December 31, 2001, Borland`s financial position remains strong, having almost $295 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, no long-term debt, and no off-balance sheet liabilities.

Frederick A. Ball, Borland`s executive vice president and chief financial officer, stated, ``We are very focused on financial discipline and responsible growth. This focus has enabled us to deliver seven consecutive quarters of operating profitability and eight consecutive quarters of positive cash flow. Borland`s management team takes very seriously its obligation as stewards of corporate assets and is committed to having a balance sheet and income statement that are as transparent as possible. While we recognize that recent high-profile corporate debacles have heightened the sensitivity within the investment community, we have no reason to account for yesterday`s unusual trading activity in Borland stock. I can also speak for the entire management team in telling you that we are all excited to be part of a winning team, and we all look forward to continuing to bring value to our stockholders and helping Borland bring best-of-breed software products to its customers.``
