MicroStrategy is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). The reason for the unfavorable rank is recent earnings estimates coming from analysts on Wall Street. Over the last 60 days, the current year Zacks Consensus Estimate is off from $7.73 to $6.64 while next year’s number is off from $6.76 to $5.86. That means analysts are expecting to see an 11.75% contraction in earnings next year. That’s slated to happen on revenue growth of 5.4%.
MicroStrategy is in the Computer – Software industry which ranks in the Bottom 39% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Investors looking for other stocks within the same industry have a few options which are in the good graces of our Zacks Rank. These include Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks Cadence Design Systems (CDNS - Free Report) and Manhattan Associates (MANH - Free Report) .
