An excellent analysis by IDC for sure. But here is an assumption made by IDC that I thought was rather hilarious:- This means that if Digital Equipment produces no earnings, Compaq's earnings per share would be diluted by 19 percent. Now how is that for a serious assumption,eh???? But the key is their overall perception of the deal,and that is:- Overall, Dataquest regards Compaq's acquisition of Digital Equipment as a positive move. Critical synergies exist that will greatly improve both companies' future positions and bring added value to existing and future customers. .... Thanks KAD for that informative post.
