Here is why DELL will Beat the Whisper and My Prediction revenue growth at approx. 52% year-to-year 1998 vs. 1997 (I will use 55% since we know sales growth will be up given chip sales and other PC sellers figures, not to mention penetration in server market) Net profit percentage approx 7.9%, fully diluted shares outstanding 1.39 Billion Conservative Analysis $3.737 billion (Jan 1997) x 55% Growth = Qtr's Sales = $5.8 Billion Qtr's sales x profit percentage (.079) = Qtr's Profits = $460 million Dilute Earnings per share = $460 M/1.39 B = 0.33/share My Prediction Growth (qtr to qtr) = 65% [28% increase over Oct. qtr] Profit Perc = 7.9% Sales Figures = $6.16 Billion Profits =$487 million Earnings = 0.35/share
