Dell comes in with expected earnings.

Analyst meeting as with missiles, guidance is everything!

In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, Dell expects that approach to produce a year-over-year increase in company unit volumes of more than 25 percent, compared with anticipated industry growth at a low single-digit rate. Mr. Rollins said that should result in quarterly revenue of $9.5 billion, up 18 percent from last year, and per-share earnings of 23 cents, 35 percent higher.

Although this appears to be small drop in revenue it may be nothing at all. Dell may want to give guidance at $9.5 billion to not get management in a bind. Notice earnings are expected to be sequentially flat. That is seasonally normal of flat to 5% in Q1.

All things considered Dell is swell.
