Compuware (CPWR) has bad news for investors and its share price was run-over as a result.
The company’s shares dropped 20% to $9.75.
TheStreet.com writes: "Compuware said it expects first-quarter revenue of approximately $278 million, 8% short of analysts’ expectations for $303 million. It now expects break-even earnings per share. Analysts had been expecting EPS of 10 cents a share, according to Thomson Financial."
The company also said it plans to cut $90 to $100 million in annual costs.
The odd part of the announcement is that the company would seem to be in a good business delivering software that manage businesses to manage their IT enterprises systems. Compuware claims that 90 or the Fortune 100.
What does that say about corporate IT spending?
