CHRD is another software company.
As of December 31, 2009, CHRD had just over $50 million in net cash and investments and was profitable on a Non-GAAP basis in Q1 (December quarter). Our valuation is $7.50 per share so it is trading at 48% of our valuation. Cash is $1.73 per share or 47% of the market price.
Revenues are about $70 million a year, with just over 70% gross margins.
In January CDC Software made a low ball bid to buy CHRD for $3.46 a share. This was dismissed outright by the company as being too low.
A Wall Street research firm (451 Group) recently listed CHRD as a company that VMware could buy.
