Yesterday Tibco Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) reported Q4 EPS of $0.42, $0.03 better than the analyst estimate of $0.39. Revenue for the quarter came in at $296.5 million versus the consensus estimate of $298.09 million.

Commenting on developments, analyst Greg Dunham of Goldman Sachs said, "While the results came in above preliminary guidance, the resilience of other infrastructure software vendors [ i.e., Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) Redhat (NASDAQ: RHT)] alongside management commentary illustrates TIBCO specific execution issues."

One area noted for improvement is in Americas infrastructure sales, which is now under new leadership. Other improvements include improved process control and further investment in management. While these changes are seen as positive in the long term, Dunham thinks the investments will likely depress near term margins.

Goldman Sachs has a Neutral rating on Tibco Software, Inc. with a modified price target of $24.00 (from $34.00).
