Dell's income surges as it overcomes slump to beat rival HP again

 

 

Thursday May 19 2011

DELL, which employs more than 1,000 people in Limerick and Dublin, rose 6.7pc yesterday after its profit topped analysts' estimates, marking the second straight quarter that the company's results outshone those of rival Hewlett-Packard.

Net income surged to $945m (€662m), or 49c a share, from $341m, or 17c, a year earlier, Dell said. Excluding certain costs, earnings per share were 55c in the period, which ended on April 29. Analysts estimated 43c.

Dell's emphasis on business customers, bolstered by an expansion into corporate data centres, is helping it withstand a slump in demand.

A slowdown in home computer sales has hit industry leaderHewlett-Packard, which cut its annual sales forecast earlier on Tuesday. While Dell also saw its consumer revenue drop, it said it was able to squeeze more profit out of each sale.

"They executed much better than expected despite strong headwinds," said Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne, Agee & Leach in San Francisco. Dell gets about 20pc of sales from consumers, compared with about 30pc at Hewlett-Packard, said Wu, who has a neutral rating on Dell shares.

Dell rose in New York trading, in contrast with HP, which lopped $1bn from its full-year sales forecast, predicting revenue of $129bn to $130bn. Excluding some costs, earnings will be at least $5 a share, Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard said.

The divergence in performance is seen as a turning point for Dell, which has lost personal-computer market share to Hewlett-Packard and suffered a worse stock performance every year from 2005 to 2009.

"Dell a few years ago was a gross underperformer," Wu said. "You're seeing a role reversal."

Dell said operating income will increase 12pc to 18pc this year. When the company last reported its earnings in February, it predicted 6pc to 12pc.

It reiterated its full-year sales growth forecast of 5pc to 9pc , indicating revenue of at least $64.6bn.

I'm not looking for a massive drop and thus massive gains. What I'm seeing this morning is exactly what I was looking for, naturally even further movement would be ideal. Trailing stop set, hopefully I could get a tad more out of it but I'll take whatever I get this morning.

 

And the reason why I went short is that I didn't see strength in it. Sure it jumped up after the decent earnings, but probably more on the guidance for next Qtr, but after that it struggled and wasn't able to make any headway. It ended up closing under the open and yes just barely, but that was what I was looking for. High volume, tight range, decent intraday movement. Showed that it was selling into strength, and not rushing higher. Now if this turns around and runs well over 17 then I will have been wrong in my assessment.

-5% to 14.57 in extended hours

 

 

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Dell Inc. warned investors of a bumpy road ahead Tuesday with a revised outlook that reined in revenue growth projections for the next two quarters, but it tried to alleviate investors’ fears by saying it’s a different company this time around.

Dell Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden made a case on why the company can fare better in another downturn than it did during the last recession. In a brief call with the media on Tuesday, he noted that Dell DELL -7.91%  raised its forecast for operating margins, while also lowering its revenue growth forecast for the full year to 1% to 5% growth, down from 5% to 9% growth previously.

DELL feeling the pain today, -6% on poor PC sales.

 

I guess buying an ipad or tablet just makes a lot more sense to most people just use their PC as a facebook machine.

I would only ever buy a DELL laptop, never a desktop.  I build my own desktops.  People who use their desktop nowadays usually know how to build it, otherwise they would be on the laptop train by now.

Many businesses still buy DELL desktops. I have been an IT Director for several corporations that exclusively buy from DELL. I think desktop PC consumers are a small and shrinking market that nobody is counting on.

Turned me upside down as i thought they would atleast be in line.. or a small miss since csco and others beat..

I would attribute it to seasonal .. they will pick up at the end of the year perhaps due to the cycle who knows.

One possible risk for Dell coming up may be Windows 8. I know a lot of IT Directors, like myself, are planning to avoid the OS. We bought a bunch of computers this year so we don't have to pay extra for a Windows 7 Downgrade. Windows 8 is not business friendly, and that is very likely to be seen in Dell's sales figures.
