My prediction based on "neural network" and "quantum statistical" analysis: eps $0.805 (diluted) and 2/1 split.

Patrick, According to Barron's Preview consensus estimate for DELL is .76. They don't say whether it is basic or diluted.

Earnings Estimate. I've been lurking on this thread since last June when I originally purchased DELL. Now I thought I would weigh in for earnings in my first post. $.78 fully diluted & $.82 basic per share, with a 5:2 split announcement. I think fully diluted EPS will be closer to analysts' concensus number than most people on the thread think, due to large amount of employee stock options and stock compensation. Also I believe a 5:2 split to get the stock price trading at a low enough level so that the stock does not rise too quickly to its historical stock split range.
