Broker note from Astaire Securities 05.01.10:
"Based on a detailed analysis of organic growth rates, we believe that Autonomy has probably missed its 2009 revenue target and we are downgrading our forecasts for 2009 and 2010 by around 5%. Autonomy failed to announce any very large deals in its final quarter. We believe that Autonomy needed to sign at least one deal >$20m in order for it to meet Q4 revenue expectations of around $223m. Even with such a deal, our analysis suggests that the growth rates required to achieve this target were probably unachievable.Today we are re-iterating our Sell recommendation and suggesting that now would be a good time to short the stock. With at least a 50% chance of a revenue miss and failing this, the certainty of very poor cash conversion, we see almost no scope for short term upside and a high probability of downside. The one risk we can see to this call would be the announcement of a large acquisition. Although we are anticipating a deal at some point in Q1 2010, we think it extremely unlikely in January. We also note that although Autonomys previous acquisitions have significantly boosted EPS, another deal at this stage in the companys development could equally well be taken negatively by the market."

So much for the sell recommendation - up 89!

Hmmm. Interesting though. Just one question, how can 'A Fact' head a phrase ' Company expects.....?' In fact, reading that report, nothing is a fact. It's all expectation.

Our preference: the upside prevails as long as 1486 is support.

Alternative scenario: the downside breakout of 1486 would call for 1406 and 1358.

Comment: the RSI is above 50. The MACD is above its signal line and positive. The configuration is positive. Moreover, the stock is above its 20 and 50 day MA (standing respectively at 1528.45 and 1482.54).

Over the last five years, we have seen a five year adjusted EPS CAGR of 73% and Autonomy has grown to become one of Europe's largest software companies.

We delivered this strong growth on top of an exceptionally strong performance in Q4 2008."
