Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Alex Planes]

  Rackspace's shares tumbled as much as 12% after the hosting giant reported disappointing third-quarter results. The company's revenue improved by 16%, but net income fell by a whopping 40% amid cutthroat competition from massive and deep-pocketed rivals such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN  ) , Google (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) , and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT  ) . Fool contributor Lee Samaha points out that these companies have been locked in a price war to capture market share in a fast-growing field -- as a result, Rackspace's operating margin is now a rather tepid 7.1%.
