Kemble, Here's some more good DELL news from Askok Kumar. (yes you read it right...Kumar) <g> Extra Dinging Dell? Not Any More, at Least Not From Piper's Kumar In the wake of IBM's (IBM:NYSE) good news, Piper Jaffray's Ashok Kumar, whose claim to fame in this column was his early warning on a falloff in Dell's (DELL:Nasdaq) sales momentum, is out with a new report that says, "The magic is back." He's talking about Dell. According to Kumar, whose commentary here caused the hostile React-o-Meter to spin out of control, recent checks now indicate that "Dell is on track to grow units about 15% sequentially and 50% year-on-year. ... This compares to our current estimates of 9% sequential growth." What's more, if Kumar is right, Dell clearly is gaining at Compaq's (CPQ:NYSE) expense. He says Dell is currently at 70% of Compaq's quarterly run rate. "If it maintains its current trajectory, it should surpass Compaq in the near future," he says. If Dell's momentum continues, Kumar says it should "translate to a revenue growth rate of 45% year on year to $5.7 billion. This represents a $200 million upside to our consensus revenue estimate. The 10% sequential revenue growth is impressive, not only because it is at the high-end of historical sequential growth, but also because it is off a larger base." ______________________________________________________________________ I love it. GO DELL! Steve
