MANH is the highest performing and most innovative supply chain software solutions and services company on the publicly traded market with zero debt, a 5 year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over 50%, and several growth catalysts including: a high project win rate of 75% for current and new clients, and continuously growing as an acquisition target for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) giants (like Oracle and SAP AG) and/or consulting firms (Deloitte Consulting, Accenture, other). MANH is positioned to match and beat its 5 year CAGR of over 50% in 2014 (without an acquisition), and that is a conservative to base case projection of the current market valuation.
