This apart, the company constantly upgrades existing products and launches new ones to expand customer base, which offers a competitive edge over peers.
However, dull prospects of the global IT industry in recent quarters, along with flat customer spending projections have adversely affected the company’s performances. Also, over the past few quarters, many of the company’s emerging markets have faced fiscal imbalances and general economic slowdowns, which adversely impacted purchasing power. Currency fluctuations in many of its key markets are also affecting financial performance.
Progress Software has surpassed estimates thrice in the trailing four quarters, with an average positive earnings surprise of 10.9%.
Intuit has outpaced estimates in the preceding four quarters, with an average earnings surprise of 32.5%.
Adobe Systems has surpassed estimates in the trailing four quarters, with an average positive earnings surprise of 7.8%.

Zacks EVP Kevin Matras believes this familiar stock has only just begun its climb to become one of the greatest investments of all time. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in pure genius.
