CA Sales Disappoint; Management Candid About Needed Improvements; Shares Close to Fair Value

CAâ€™s second-quarter results were marred by what management noted were disappointing sales. The company pointed to complacency in selling outside its renewal portfolio and a lack of sales leadership. In addition, the firmâ€™s organic sales performance was impacted by its decision to prioritize new sales of the Automic automation platform over CAâ€™s organic automation products. However, the decision reflects managementâ€™s strategy to unify into one single automation platform, and while the decision wi...

Morningstar | CA Reports 1Q Results; We Expect Takeover by Broadcom to Close; Shares Fairly Valued

CA Technologies reported its first-quarter results but decided not to host a conference call because of its pending acquisition by Broadcom. We do not anticipate any regulatory hurdles, given the lack of synergies between the two firms, though it would not surprise us if the current geopolitical climate and trade tensions between the U.S. and China delayed the closing. Still, we are adjusting our CA fair value estimate to $44.50 to reflect our conviction that the deal will close at Broadcomâ€™s proposed price.
