Red Hat Inc. is a very interesting company. Founded in 1993, it has become the leading provider of open source solutions and has been named the number one Enterprise Software Vendor for four consecutive years over companies like Citrix Systems, Adobe, and Microsoft. That is an amazing accomplishment for a young company.
Is the company sufficiently profitable to validate its business model and strategy?
Is its revenue stream from selling, training, consulting, and engineering services growing or declining as a percentage of total revenues?
Does your review of the company’s recent financial performance suggest that its business model and strategy are changing?
