- Thursday, May 16, 4:22 PM More on Dell: Revenue only fell 2% Y/Y after dropping 11% in FQ4 - Carl Icahn will notice. But gross margin -140 bps Y/Y to 20.6%; Dell was apparently willing to price more aggressively. Spending picked up: SG&A 15.7% of revenue vs. 13.9% a year ago, R&D 2.2% vs. 1.7%. Desktop sales only -2%, much better than FQ4's -14%. Notebooks -16% vs. -25%. PCs 49% of sales. Servers/networking (19% of sales) still strong, +14% vs. +18%. Storage still weak, -10% vs. -13%. Services +2%, up from -3%. 3rd-party software/peripherals -6% vs. -11%. $295M in Dell software sales (lifted by Quest). No guidance. DELL unchanged. CC at 4:45PM ET (webcast) (PR) 7 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, May 16, 4:02 PM Dell (DELL): Q1 EPS of $0.21 misses by $0.14. Revenue of $14.1B beats by $0.58B. (PR) 2 Comments [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]

- Tuesday, May 14, 11:38 AM Dell (DELL -0.6%) will deliver its FQ1 report on Thursday instead of next Tuesday and EPS will miss estimates, David Faber reports. Though light on details, Faber says annualized operating income will be "well below" the $3B the Street is looking for, and notes weaker free cash flow will hurt the ability of a buyer to lever up the company. Shares are down to $13.44, 2% below Michael Dell/Silver Lake's $13.65 offer price. Update: Dell confirms its FQ1 report will now arrive on Thursday afternoon. 5 Comments [Tech, Earnings, Breaking News, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, February 19, 4:59 PM More on Dell: The revenue beat might provide ammo for those wanting a higher LBO price. But many numbers are still bleak. Notebook sales -25%, desktops -14%, 3rd-party software/peripherals -11%, storage -13%, services -3%. Though lifted by M&A, servers/networking still a bright spot, +18% with Force10 up 100%+. Large enterprises -7%, SMBs -5%, public -9%, consumer -24%. Gross margin was 21.7%, +80 bps Q/Q and -60 bps Y/Y. Thanks to revenue drop, opex 16.8% of sales vs. 15.3% a year ago. DELL +0.4% AH to $13.85. CC about to start (webcast). (PR) (FQ3 data) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Tuesday, February 19, 4:07 PM Dell (DELL): FQ4 EPS of $0.40 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $14.31B (-11% Y/Y) beats by $190M. No guidance provided. Shares +0.2% AH. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, February 19, 7:52 AM Dell (DELL) is scheduled to release its FQ4 earnings after the bell, with the Street forecasting that EPS fell to $0.39 from $0.51 and that revenue slid 11.9% to $14.12B. The problem for Michael Dell and his co-acquirers in the company's buyout is that if the results are too good, recalcitrant investors might have more ammunition in their quest for a higher offer. 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer, Earnings]

- Tuesday, February 12, 4:45 PM Pzena Investment Management (PZN): Q4 EPS of $0.08 misses by $0.01. AUM of $17.1B, up from $13.5B a year ago, with market gains accounting for 75% of the increase. The firm is a large holder of DELL and CEO Richard Pzena opposes the LBO. The conference call is set for 10 AM ET tomorrow. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials]
- Thursday, November 15, 2012, 6:45 PM More from Dell's FQ3 call and slides: Large enterprises (-8% Y/Y, +5% for enterprise solutions) are said to be deferring discretionary IT purchases; that's backed up by October's earnings reports. Dell was a little more positive about SMBs (-1%, +15% for ES). Sales of DCS servers, used by Internet companies for "scale-out" deployments, rose 126% Y/Y. Networking +40%, boosted by Force10. More than one analyst suggested a big change is needed in PC strategy: cost cuts, price cuts (to maintain scale), and a retreat from the consumer market were among the suggestions. 2 Comments [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, November 15, 2012, 6:31 PM Mentioned within Dell's (DELL) FQ3 call and earnings slides: The company admits price pressure is hurting PC margins in spite of Dell's willingness to cede low-end share; it evaded a question about whether declining scale is also hurting. Native Dell storage sales fell 3% Y/Y, missing expectations. European and government demand remains weak, and emerging markets were especially soft (Lenovo could be a reason why). Services backlog totaled $15.8B, +2% Y/Y but -3% Q/Q. DELL -2% AH. HPQ -0.5%. (FQ3: I, II) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, November 15, 2012, 4:25 PM More on Dell: Notebook sales -26% Y/Y (was -19% in FQ2) and desktops -8%, share losses a factor. Software/peripherals -11%, storage -16%, services -1%. Servers +11% and gaining share. Total enterprise solutions +3%. Consumer sales (PC-dependent) -23%, government -11%, large enterprises -8%, SMBs only -1%. Americas -9%, Asia-Pac -11%, EMEA -15%. Gross margin was 20.9%, down 70 bps Q/Q and 170 bps Y/Y. No shares repurchased, ending a string of huge buybacks. DELL now -1.1% AH. CC at 5PM ET (webcast). (PR) (slides) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]
- Thursday, November 15, 2012, 4:11 PM Dell (DELL): FQ3 EPS of $0.39 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $13.72B (-11% Y/Y) misses by $180M. Expects Q/Q revenue growth of 2%-5% in FQ4, below a consensus for a 5.6% increase. Maintains guidance for at least $1.70 in FY13 (ends in January) EPS. Shares +1.5% AH. (PR) 5 Comments [Tech, Earnings, Top Stories, Breaking News]
