Software is a huge sector, and like any huge sector there is a mix of wheat and chaff. The trick, then, is to separate the two and focus one's time on the most promising ideas. The following are five above-average software companies that are worth a closer look by investors seeking some technology ideas with solid chances of market-beating performance.
1. Cognizant Technology Solutions (Nasdaq:CTSH)
Cognizant is the youngest of the Tier 1 Indian IT firms (which includes Infosys (Nasdaq:INFY) and Wipro (NYSE:WIT)), and has the added twist of a U.S.-based management. Employee turnover is quite high compared to U.S. software companies, but this is nothing new in this sector. The company has a high reliance on financial services, but recently crossed the $1 billion mark in quarterly revenue despite the uncertain conditions in the sector. Wage and tax pressures in India are concerns to monitor, but recent revenue growth in excess of 40% and increasing analyst estimates suggest solid near-term momentum.
