Dell's Previous Comments on Quarterly Results

Analysts predict the company will report revenue of $23,1 billion and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1,70 for the quarter.

Dell has a solid track record of delivering positive results. According to Zacks, Dell has exceeded consensus EPS estimates for each of the past 12 quarters. EPS, or earnings per share, is a widely used measure of profitability. An “EPS surprise” occurs when actual results are higher or lower than expected.

However, it is important to note that exceeding expectations does not always lead to an increase in the stock price. Below is how the shares Dell's quarterly results have been released the day after in the past two years:

As the table shows, a positive EPS surprise doesn’t always lead to a stock price increase the next day, especially if the outlook disappoints or the broader market environment is uncertain. In fact, looking at the past eight quarters, Dell’s stock price has fallen the day after results 62,5% of the time, with only three increases. This suggests a cautious investor reaction even when the company beats expectations.
