Earnings include stock based compensation but exclude one time item. The better-than-expected result was primarily driven by stringent cost management. Revenue Revenues decreased 8.0% year over year to $199.0 million from $216.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $1.0 million. According to management, the year-over-year decline was primarily due to customer uncertainty related to the ongoing review of various alternatives that are aimed at enhancing stockholder value, going forward. In March, Novell rejected a buyout offer from Elliott Associates L.P., citing that the proposal of $5.75 per share in cash is inadequate and it undervalues the company&#8217;s ]]></description>

The company delivered decent second-quarter results, although revenue was below our expectation. The strong product portfolio, acquisitions, customer win momentum and decent cash generation ability are positives. On the other hand, we are a bit concerned about the intense competition that the company faces from small and large players, in the networking, consumer and OEM business, as well as from the hardware and software manufacturers entering the IT security business. This and the enhanced level of security offered by Windows 7 also pose some challenges to McAfee. We downgrade our rating on McAfee to Underperform. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading technology software company, Novell Inc. (NOVL) lowered its third quarter 2010 revenues and operating margin guidance, previously given out during the second quarter earnings call. Novell shares fell 19 cents, or 3.2% to $5.82 on Tuesday trading based on negative investor sentiment. Novell&#8217;s lowered guidance is mainly due to customer softness, given that they remain cautious regarding the company’s plan to explore strategic alternatives. The uncertainty to sell itself outright to another entity is making customers wary, which is having a negative impact on the company’s sales. Novell expects to report third quarter 2010 results on August 26, 2010. Net revenues for the third quarter are expected to be in the range of $197 million to $199 million, down from the previous expectation of $205 million to $210 ]]></description>

This advance was due to the revenue increases across both the consumer and corporate segments. On the other hand, the company generated approximately $14.0 million of lower in-period revenue as new sales orders were generated at lower revenue realization rates. The revenue realization rate fell short of the company&#8217;s expectations, with the lowest amount generated in the past four quarters. McAfee reported increases in revenue across all segments.

(MFE) has announced that it is now the dominant original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for universal serial bus (USB) devices, with two-thirds of manufacturers across the world opting for its security solutions. The company’s current USB partners include Kingston Digital Inc, iShares S&#38;P Global Materials (MXI), Rocky Mountain Ram, SanDisk Corp. (SNDK), SPYRUS, Hagiwara and Yoggie Security Systems. The demand for secured USB devices is growing by the day among both individual and enterprise customers, especially within highly regulated industries, where data security is a major concern.

(NOVL) announced that its Board of Directors have rejected the unsolicited buyout offer of $2 billion or $5.75 per share in cash from Elliott Associates, L.P., the largest institutional stockholder of Novell. Novell cited the offer to be inadequate and significantly below the company’s value, thereby undervaluing the firm. Novell shares fell 1.4% and closed at $5.64 yesterday. The shares had soared 25.89% (or $1.23) to $5.98 in after-hours trading, just after the company made the offer public on March 4 that indicated positive investor sentiments regarding the takeover as investors hoped for a higher bid. Elliott is an investment firm with over $16 billion in assets and holds approximately 8.5% of NOVL’s common stock. The price represented a premium of 49% over the company&#8217;s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage on McAfee Inc. (MFE) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $42.00. We believe McAfee is fairly valued at its current P/E multiple of 17.0X our 2010 EPS estimate of $2.34, which is a substantial discount to the industry average. Historically, the stock has traded in a 5-year trailing twelve month P/E range of 17.7X to 39.2X and we expect the company to trade in the same range going forward. The company has delivered encouraging fourth quarter results, with revenue of $525.7 million, up 24.0% from the year ago quarter. Good execution and robust demand for security solutions helped McAfee achieve the sixteenth consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year revenue growth. This apart, the company’s fourth quarter 2009 earnings per share of 64 cents exceeded the Zacks ]]></description>

However, quarterly revenue of $202 million decreased 6% from the year-ago figure. This was due to softness in 2009 invoicing and weakness in the company’s legacy products. Moreover, the decline was a result of a sharp drop in software license revenue, which fell 28% year over year. Services revenue declined 20.1% year over year, while maintenance and subscription revenue remained flat compared to the year-ago quarter. By product line, Novell’s revenue from Linux Platform Products was up 6% year over year to $37 million, revenue from Identity, Access and Compliance Management was down 13% to $29 million, while revenue from Systems and Resource Management was ]]></description>
