Hi Gene Parrott; Re Dell warning...

They must be warning that they are going to have stupendous profits, what with all those highly profitable RDRAM systems that they are shipping.

-- Carl

P.S. DELL is trading at around $26 after hours. That is the cheapest it's been in nearly 2 years. MSFT is also kind of ugly recently.

Gene,
re: Dell

Not much of a warning for this quarter. They looked out on the Q4, not Q3 (Dell Q3 ends Oct 2000 - Q4 ends Jan 2001) and saw a "possible" 3% lighter revenues. I doubt that will materialize but the new full disclosure prevents them from just telling the analysts like they would have done before.

Even with a 27% growth however, Dell has very little downside. I can't see the stock below 25 with 92cents earnings this year (and that includes the lighter revenues/earnings for Q4) 27% growth x .92 is $25 right there and that's with only current year earnings and 1x growth (normaly 2xgrowthxforward earnings is used). It should be an easy double from here in 6 months.

Here is the full story. Not as bad as headlines make it out):
