GEAC COMPUTER CORP. LTD. (GAC/TSE), up $3.25 to $57.50, on volume 0f 337,915 shares.
Anticipation of an acquisition, internal growth from new software, improving margins and the expectation of strong third-quarter earnings helped Geac shares to a 52-week closing high, said Josef Vejvoda of Lowen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon Ltd.
"Management is firing on all cylinders, margins are at 43%, from 36%, and new software sales growth has been 20% year over year in the past two quarters," said Vejvoda.
Geac is expected to report its third quarter on March 10, traditionally its strongest because of pre-paid maintenance contracts. Vejvoda has a 12-month target price of $80 on the stock.
