LogMeIn, Inc. is a computer software business that specializes in providing users access to computer resources from anywhere. Utilizing cloud technology, LogMeIn provides individuals and businesses the opportunity to use their smartphones or I pads to remotely access their PC's. They offer free services as well as premium services that have more features. Their free service, LogMeIn Free offers free access for users to access their desktops and retrieve files or surf the internet. Their premium service, LogMeIn Premium offers features such as High Definition, the ability to transfer files, and local printing. They have established a large user community with over 38 million users, and pride themselves on their user satisfaction, fast service, security, and easy to use software. Their software is available to download on the apple app store, and the android market. Their growth strategy is to acquire new customers by offering free trials, and increase sales to their current customers, all while LogMeIn operates under the 7372 SIC code, which is classified as prepackaged software. A major competitor to LogMeIn, Inc. is Citrix Systems, Inc. Citrix provides a similar service known as GoToMyPc. The software allows users to use a host computer to access their home or work PCs. They also have an app located on the apple app store that is designed for I Pads. Citrix produces a lot more software and has more customers than LogMeIn, Inc. Citrix is a bigger company and offers more services such as consulting and technical support. They offer more features than LogMeIn including high definition video conferencing and an online training program. Citrix is also doing better financially compared to LogMeIn. While they have seen an almost 20% increase in sales growth, their income growth has decreased 70% over the last 12 months. In that span, their income was $3.80 million which doesn't seem like a lot compared to $361.15 million for Citrix. Again, Citrix is a larger company and provides more services, so they should naturally bring in more income. In the past LogMeIn was not making profits, but the past three years they have been profitable. They also do not have any long term debts and $4 billion in assets. LogMeIn has a stock value of $23.25, and Citrix's stock value is $80.34. MSN money gives LogMeIn a stock rating of 3 out of 10, while Citrix received a rating of 8. Out of 117 businesses in the application software industry, LogMeIn ranks favorably in some statistics, and the middle of the pack in others. They rank very well in Price-Earnings ratio, and market capitalization. Market capitalization is calculated by taking the share price by the number of outstanding shares, and provides a good measure of the worth of a company. However, even with these promising results I would not make an investment in the company. After reading through the most recent 10 K document, the company has warned that the stock value could drop, and that they would not be declaring any dividends in the future. They have indicated that the price of their stock was volatile meaning it can fluctuate rapidly. I really like the idea of LogMeIn, but I feel like the company needs to create different types of software. I would feel more comfortable investing in Citrix Systems, Inc. because of its stock value, and because it is offers more software and services. Citrix is an industry leader and ranks favorably compared to other businesses. Citrix also has plans to grow internationally, and continue to improve their technology. If LogMeIn can continue to grow and can offer new software, then it will definitely be a company I would invest in.
