[image] Red Hat sees some green

Filed under: Earnings reports, Forecasts, Oracle Corp (ORCL), Red Hat Inc (RHT)

There's much concern in the information technology (IT) world. Might companies cut back on spending in light of the slowing economy?

Well, as for Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the environment seems to be OK. For example, in Q4, the company posted a 27% increase in revenues to $141.5 million. What's more, bookings are bulging (above $200 million).

While RedHat has a strong business with its Linux offerings, the company is also seeing lots of traction with its middleware platform, known as JBoss. Interestingly enough, with Oracle's (NASDAQ: ORCL) buyout of BEA Systems (NASDAQ: BEAS), there's been a surge in downloads of JBoss. Basically, customers want an alternative.

Going forward, Red Hat forecasts revenues of $665 million to $680 for the upcoming year. Earnings are expected to range from $0.78 to $0.82 per share.

And Red Hat recently purchased Amentra, which is a systems services company. Basically, the deal will allow Red Hat to continue to turbocharge its sales of JBoss.

[image] All Eyes on Oracle's Earnings
Oracle Corporation  (Public, NASDAQ:ORCL) reports after the close today and Wall Street has high expectations for the company going into the earnings call.  Which means, if they blow it, look out, and if they beat the street, it's on like Donkey Kong. With shares trading in the mid range of their 52-week run, it's all on the line. Analysts on average expect Oracle (ORCL) to post earnings excluding special items of 30 cents a share for its fiscal third quarter ended in February, and $ 5.4 billion in revenue, according to FactSet Research. That compares with earnings excluding special items of 25 cents a share and $ 4.41 billion in revenue in the same period a year earlier. Oracle's most recent pur [More...]
