In 2009, Micros acquired TIG Global, which allowed the company to offer complete end-to-end solutions to hotel customers for the marketing of hotel rooms, and alternative distribution platforms.

We believe that recovery in vertical markets such as hotel, restaurant and retail will have a positive impact on the business. Moreover, MICROS’ service offering Simphony and new mobile application will draw customers.
However, we are concerned about the prevalent weakness in the domestic hotel business and the impact of rising gas prices on the restaurant business. Thus, we would like to be on the sidelines until we get more clarity on the recovery of the company’s businesses.
We have a long-term Neutral recommendation on MICROS. Currently, MICROS has a Zacks #3 Rank, implying a short-term Hold rating.
