Compuware announced .09 vs an expected .11. When the news was flashed on CNBC they spelt it "Compuwear", like Dame Dash had bought it.

Compuware Corporation Announces Preliminary Financial Results
- PR Newswire

DETROIT, Jan 11, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Compuware Corporation today announced preliminary financial results for its third quarter, ended December 31, 2005. Compuware estimates its fiscal 2006 third quarter revenues will be approximately $305 million. The company expects earnings for the quarter to be approximately nine cents.

The company expects new license revenue to be approximately $83 million and maintenance revenue to be approximately $107 million. Revenue from professional services is expected to be approximately $115 million.

"While Compuware again generated strong profits this quarter, we fell short of Wall Street expectations," said Compuware Chairman and CEO Peter Karmanos, Jr. "Third quarter demand was not as strong as anticipated, and the business underperformed. During the third quarter I led Compuware's management team through a careful examination of every aspect of the company's business. During the fourth quarter, we will announce and implement major changes designed to ensure Compuware's short- and long-term business success."

Compuware will announce final results for its fiscal 2006 third quarter on January 26, 2006.

Oops, later in same article:

quote:

"There are absolutely no layoffs planned," said Lisa Elkin, Compuware's vice president for communications and investor relations, who declined to elaborate.



then:

quote:

"Compuware in general is a fairly top-heavy organization," [Zaineb Bokhari, a technology analyst with Standard & Poor's Equity Research in New York] said, "so I wouldn't be surprised if some reductions in headcount are coming."
