In any case, I happily will take yearly 50-55% growth.

If DELL can keep up that profit growth for a long time then it maybe fairly valued now. So I agree with you. I was just questioning TigerPaw's math that ended up with a 200% stockprice growth off 50% earnings growth.

I'd doubt that DELL can keep up 50%+ growth for a long enough period to justify the P/E. Even if the growth rate declines smoothly and slowly to a lower rate you'll see the stockprice stagnate rather than grow at that lower rate in the transition period.

But the latter is just a matter of opinion which is why I said 50% was an upper limit on the stockprice growth rate.

Re: Cisco vs Dell PE and growth rate

Cisco has a virtual monopoly, with only LU to worry about. Dell must compete against the likes of CPQ, IBM, HP, Gateway and others. That's the only conclusion I can reach to explain the PE/growth rate difference.
