Technology News Sat, 06 Nov 1999, 12:45am EST Dell Computer's 3-Year Streak Atop the S&P 500 Index Is Coming to an End By Loren Steffy Dell Computer Streak Atop the S&P 500 Index Coming to an End Round Rock, Texas, Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Dell Computer Corp.'s three-year run as the best-performing stock on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index is coming to an end. Dell, the world's biggest direct-seller of personal computers, is about to turn in its worst stock performance in six years. Its shares have risen 16 percent in 1999, after more than tripling in each of the last three years. By comparison, Qualcomm Inc., the current S&P 500 leader, has surged more than 1000 percent this year. ''This isn't Dell's finest year,'' said Tim Ghriskey, a portfolio manager for Dreyfus Corp., which owns about 3.8 million Dell shares. ''They will not be the strong performer this year that they were in the past.'' Dell hasn't had this poor a showing since 1993, when its shares fell 53 percent. Even in 1995, its weakest year since then, the stock rose 69 percent. Dell fell 3/16 to 42 3/8 in recent trading.
