relax johnny, it "only" has to go to $ 118... hahahahahahah that's only $ 8 more billion added to its market cap from current levels. hahahahahaha annual sales: $ 279 million ebitda: - $ 100 million income available to common: - $ 792.8 million total cash: $ 280 million and its software doesn't even work... "These problems can be lumped into two big buckets. First, Ariba has failed to live up to the technology promises it made to CoNext, frustrating customers who have not had their expectations met. Second, the b-to-b market has changed considerably since CoNext was announced in January, leaving it vulnerable to obsolescence. The problems with Ariba center around its Internet procurement application -- the heart of CoNext's technology platform -- which reportedly could not handle the complexities of group buying, especially on the scale required by Fortune 500 companies with multibillion-dollar budgets, according to a recent report written by analyst Pierre Mitchell of AMR Research, which detailed CoNext's woes. Ariba made a great deal of noise about supporting CoNext ... yet without strong technology support, [corporate customers] didn't deeply support the consortium, leaving it plagued by many problems," Mitchell writes in his report." upside.com
