| Together with its subsidiaries, Red Hat provides open source software 
| products to companies primarily in the United States. It has been upgraded to 
| a buy from a hold. Its revenue increased by 27.7% in the second quarter of 
| its fiscal 2008 compared with the same period last year, outpacing the 
| industry average. Net income grew by 64.4% to $18.16 million in the second 
| quarter, and its gross profit margin increased to 90.70%. Red Hat's stock 
| price has gone up by 6.86% in the last 12 months, and unless broad bear 
| market  conditions prevail, TheStreet.com Ratings sees further upside 
| potential for this stock. The company had been rated a hold since September 
| 2007.
