GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Oracle's Visibility Trouble in Clouds  - Oracle's Visibility Trouble In Clouds
When your goods are not selling well, can you blame your sales people? You can if you are an Oracle. However, some analysts believe that the real problem is that cheaper cloud solutions are eating into the turf of more expensive enterprise software segments, the traditional stronghold of Oracle. Last quarter, Oracle (ORCL) recorded revenues that missed estimates in key areas of its business, causing an unexpected drop in the stock price. The company had been going steady at a price between $34 and $37 for most of the last year before its disappointing earnings results caused it to dip quickly to as low as $31. Its hardware, software licenses and subscription services all recorded negative surprises. Given that these products make up a significant portion of Oracleโ€™s revenues, analysts and investors could be increasingly concerned on Oracleโ€™s future as a leading technology company.

Who Wins and Who Loses If Dell Is Taken Private Prem Watsa,Mason Hawkins,Bill Nygren - Who Wins And Who Loses If Dell Is Taken Private

If, as rumored, a private equity firm takes the PC-maker private, neither side actually wins per se, though some Gurus will make out better than others. Mere rumor of a private-equity buyout has lunged Dellโ€™s share price about 18% this week to $12.84 a share in afternoon trading. Private-equity buyout offers often occur when a stock is being undervalued by the market, a view in line with several Gurus who bought Dell at cut prices. Read more...

Business Description

International Business Machines Corporation was incorporated in the State of New York on June 16, 1911, as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. a consolidation of the Computing Scale Co. of America, the Tabulating Machine Co. and The International Time Recording Co. of New York. Since that time, the Company has focused on the intersection of business insight and technological invention, and its operations and aims have been international in nature. The Company's business model is to help clients succeed in delivering business value by becoming more innovative, efficient and competitive through the use of business insight and IT solutions; and, provide long-term value to shareholders. The Company's global capabilities include services, software, hardware, fundamental research and related financing. The broad mix of businesses and capabilities are combined to provide business insight and solutions for the Company's clients. The major operations of the Company are comprised of: a Global Technology Services segment; a Global Business Services segment; a Software segment; a System and Technology segment; and a Global Financing segment. Global Services is a critical component of the Company's strategy of providing IT infrastructure and business insight and solutions to clients. While solutions often include industry-leading IBM software and hardware, other suppliers' products are also used if a client solution requires it. Within Global Services there are five reportable segments: Global Technology Services, Global Business Services, Software, Systems and Technology and Global Financing. Global Technology Services mainly provides IT infrastructure services and business process services, delivering business value through the Company's global scale, standardization and automation. Global Business Services mainly provides professional services and application outsourcing services, delivering business value and innovation to clients through solutions which leverage industry-and business-process expertise. Software consists mainly of middleware and operating systems software. Middleware software enables clients to integrate systems, processes and applications across a standard software platform. IBM middleware is designed to open standards which allow the efficient integration of disparate client applications that might have been built internally, or provided by packaged software vendors or system integrators. Operating systems are the software engines that run computers. Systems and Technology provides clients with business solutions requiring advanced computing power and storage capabilities. Global Financing facilitates clients' acquisition of IBM systems, software and services. Global Financing invests in financing assets, leverages with debt and manages the associated risks with the objective of generating consistently strong returns on equity. The Company's Sales and Distribution organization manages a strong global footprint, with
