With the OLAP market projected to grow at 40%+ year-to-year and if HYSL only maintains their market dominance, then is it fair to anticipate 40%+ top line revenue growth of this company? I would hope that earnings would then grow faster. Stock appears to then be attractively priced at this time. The OLAP Report Ranks Hyperion Solutions as Market Leader; Twenty-Four Percent Market Share Puts Company Significantly Ahead of Oracle Business Wire - September 08, 1998 08:36 SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1998--Hyperion Solutions (NASDAQ:HYSL), a leading provider of analytic application software for reporting, analysis, modeling and planning, has been ranked as the market leader for online analytical processing (OLAP) software, by The OLAP Report, the leading research group for the OLAP industry. The ranking gives Hyperion Solutions a 24.7 percent share of the 1997 OLAP market, 4 points above the closest competitor, Oracle. "Hyperion Solutions is undoubtedly the new OLAP market share leader now and is almost certain to be the market leader for the whole of 1998," said Nigel Pendse, lead author of The OLAP Report (www.olapreport.com). The OLAP Report developed the ranking for Hyperion Solutions through a combination of the previous rankings for Hyperion Software and Arbor Software. The two companies merged on August 24, 1998 to form Hyperion Solutions. According to The OLAP Report, the OLAP market totaled $1.4 billion in 1997 and should near $2.0 billion in 1998. Prior to the launch of Hyperion Solutions, The OLAP Report had predicted that no single vendor would dominate the OLAP market within the next two years. The latest edition of the OLAP Report ranks Hyperion Solutions as the dominant player. "If Hyperion manages the merger correctly and maintains focus, it will dominate both the OLAP and analytical application software sectors," added Pendse.
