[investorone]

I don't see anything either---any thoughts?

[mjrichmo]

Investors dot com says that even though it has fallen on big volume, it remains above its 10 week moving average.

[jbleads]

Hoping it turns around quick. In it too big to sell at this large of a loss... Funny, I had a feeling I should have pulled trigger at 40 and change and then jump back in. Any other news out there?

[investorone]

Glad to say it made a nice recovery today!

Clearly there's some moves being made here to cash in timed with all the positive news being pumped out while us regular folk get whacked.

[jbleads]

They just won't stop leaning on MANH. Each time I think it can't drop further I buy more and sure enough... Slam! What's going on with this stock? What's the word?

Manhattan Continues Growth In Warehouse Market

Manhattan Associates is proving to be a survivor in more ways than one.
The company has found a way to compete with larger rivals Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and SAP (NYSE:SAP) in warehouse management software while also side-stepping the recent sell-off in high-growth but little-or-no-profit software companies such as Tableau Software (NYSE:DATA) and Splunk (NASDAQ:SPLK).
Manhattan Associates' (NASDAQ:MANH) stock is down from an all-time high of 40.79 touched on March 17, but the company has kept growing in what has proved to be an unpredictable market for software used to manage warehouse operations.
The company's year-over-year quarterly revenue growth has escalated from 6% to 20% over the past five quarters through Q2, which beat analyst views on the top and bottom lines. The company also raised its EPS and sales guidance for Q3.
Many retailers and other Manhattan customers are upgrading their computer systems, says Mark Schappel, an analyst for The Benchmark Co.
"What's driving their business is the warehouse management piece," he told IBD. "Some of the older operating systems that were put in a long time ago are being replaced."
On July 22, Manhattan reported Q2 earnings per share minus items of 29 cents, up 21% vs. the year-earlier period and ahead of analyst estimates by 2 cents.
Revenue jumped 20% to $122.5 million and beat views by $7.5 million.
For the current quarter, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect earnings per share of 29 cents, up 11.5%. Revenue is expected to rise 12% to $120.7 million.
The company doesn't provide a quarterly guidance but raised its outlook for the year.
For the year, Manhattan raised its EPS forecast to $1.10 to $1.12, up 20% to 22%, from $1.06 to $1.08. Analysts had modeled $1.07.
The company now expects revenue of $472 million to $477 million, up 14% to 15%, vs. its prior forecast of $460 million to $465 million. Analysts expect $471.5 million.
The results and outlook are positive signs, says Terry Tillman, an analyst for Raymond James & Associates, in a July 23 research report.
"The company showed impressive execution and remains well positioned to capture additional share gains, as the competitive environment remains more favorable today than in many years," he wrote.
