This post is part of a series featuring bargain stocks that are worth a look now. See more Cheap Stocks.

Tech stocks are taking a beating lately, as more and more companies scale back on their IT spending. While it may be foolhardy to bet on any significant short-term rallies for this struggling group, there's probably no better time than the present to dive into a long-term play. With BMC Software (NYSE: BMC) approaching key support levels, this is one stock worth looking into.

BMC: Street Overreacting to BMC’s BladeLogic Purchase Graphic_rating_buy BMC

My latest column is up at RealMoney . In it, I explain why I think the negative reaction to BMC Software’s (BMC) purchase of BladeLogic (BLOG) was overdone. In summary:

BladeLogic is growing nearly 40% annually, compared to just 5% expected growth in BMC next year. By my calculations, it increases BMC’s revenue growth rate by 180 basis points, which should have a significant impact on valuation models.

<> What’s more, I think there were signs that BMC’s growth was due to accelerate on its own. Deferred revenues had declined slightly over the past nine months, which can act as<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...

However, we believe BladeLogic’s data center automation suite to be highly complementary with minimal overlap to BMC allowing for meaningful revenue synergies over time...With the deal leaving approximately $600 million of cash on the balance sheet, we continue to believe that the company will ultimately spend ...
