Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Imperva as a

sell

. The area that we feel has been the company's primary weakness has been its disappointing return on equity.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, IMPERVA INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
  • IMPERVA INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, IMPERVA INC reported poor results of -$2.29 versus -$1.02 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.05 versus -$2.29).
  • The gross profit margin for IMPERVA INC is currently very high, coming in at 83.05%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -9.07% is in-line with the industry average.
  • Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 314.02% to $10.54 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, IMPERVA INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -8.89%.
  • The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income increased by 57.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$13.62 million to -$5.75 million.
