On CAPS, 93% of the 147 members who have rated MICROS believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier this week, one of those Fools, All-Star TMFDeej, brought MICROS' potential catalyst to our community's attention: "Following ValueAct Capital after it was announced [Tuesday] that it has purchased a 7.5% stake in the company. Good things usually result when this activist shakes things up."
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, MICROS may not be your top choice.
