Market Share and earnings estimates thru 2001
WARNING! This material not intended for daytraders.
Here is my latest SWAG simulation....
The top table represents IDC's latest WW revenue by segment projections. The bottom half represents forward projections for Dell using Monte-Carlo analysis with a scaling factor using IDC's numbers as a 1X baseline. The scaling factor is a multiple of IDC's WW numbers and was derived from Dell's public statements on their projected growth rates in each segment.
They are: Desktops 2X to 3X Portables 1.5X to 2.5X declining to 1X to 2X in 2001 Enterprise (servers/workstations) 5X to 8X in 1998 declining to 2X to 3X in 2001
Net margin used a quasi Monte Carlo method varying between 7% and 8%.
* These growth rates represent a decline from past performance * Notice yr/yr revenue growth declining to 25% in 3 years * Notice the positive impact on ASP's in the face of declining industry ASP's if Dell can grow the enterprise segment as planned * Puts Dell at $35B in 2001 by only doubling their current market share from 6% to 12%

Top line revenue and bottom line EPS projection for 2001 falls in line with several industry analysts expectations as well.
Of course, things can blow up at any time. I expect Dell to have a few quarters where they don't execute as flawlessly as in the past causing the stock to possibly get hammered.
Then there's the possibility that Sony PlayStation's will supplant PC sales and PC's will be toy prizes in cereal boxes, or, the very real possibility that everything that can be invented has been invented and technological advancements will stop sending the computing price point into the toilet<gg>.
Over the long term however, this is the target. That's why I stay long.
