The under-appreciated 88% interest that AMSWA has in Logility (LGTY), a fast-growing provider of supply chain management software. Or should I say “was” fast-growing. While Logility had routinely been seeing 20% quarterly sales growth, the second quarter brought only an 11% bump. More discouraging were the comments from the conference call, where the CEO underwhelmed investors by predicting that “the third quarter has an opportunity to be better than last year’s third quarter.” Not exactly the kind of words that give one confidence in what is supposed to be a high-growth company.
Perhaps for these reasons, Logility’s stock has dropped nearly 40% since last year, thus significantly diminishing the value of AMSWA’s “hidden” asset.
