Overview
Dell Technologies Inc (DELL) is an individual stock. The analysis below presents key financial metrics for the company, covering profitability, capital efficiency, valuation, margins, and growth.
Profitability & Capital Efficiency
Assessing the quality of returns on invested capital, ROIC is 23.98%, WACC is 8.25%, and the economic spread is 15.73%. On balance, the company is clearing their capital cost hurdle with room to spare. Supporting metrics show ROE at N/A and ROA at 6.35%, a combination that helps frame whether profitability strength is broad enough to hold through different market conditions. Taken together, the return profile suggests a company with credible compounding capacity if current operating execution persists.
Valuation
The company's current market valuation reflects trailing P/E of 20.04, forward P/E of 13.56, PEG of 2.62. The trailing-to-forward compression is present but not extreme — consistent with a company where earnings are expected to grow at a steady rather than exceptional pace. Growth-adjusted valuation is stretched here — the multiple implies either above-consensus growth or a willingness to pay a premium for quality. The current ratio of 0.91 is below average, suggesting some the company may face tighter short-term financial conditions. Across multiples and liquidity, the company is priced in a way that reflects current expectations reasonably well — leaving limited room for error, but also limited near-term downside from valuation compression alone.
Margins & Cash Generation
Looking at margins from gross to free cash flow, gross margin sits at 20.06%, operating margin at 7.47%, and free cash flow margin at 7.53%. The gross margin reading is middling — acceptable, but leaving less room for error at the production level. Modest operating margins indicate that while revenues are being generated, converting them to earnings is less efficient. The company's cash conversion is middle-of-the-road — sufficient for operational needs, but leaving limited surplus for discretionary allocation. Margins indicate a company that is operating effectively in some areas while still showing efficiency gaps in others.
Growth & Forward Outlook
Projected 12-month EPS growth of 47.8% adds a powerful forward signal — analyst consensus expects earnings to accelerate materially, which, if delivered, could make current multiples look increasingly modest. Turning to growth and analyst expectations, TTM revenue growth of 39.48% pointing to sustained and broad-based revenue growth within the company, while the estimated 12-month price change of -0.03%, where the target profile indicates a negative expected price trajectory. The distinction matters: revenue growth tells you what the company are doing, price targets tell you what analysts think the market will pay for it. Ultimately, the alignment between revenue momentum and analyst targets will depend on execution quality and the broader rate and sentiment environment. The estimated 12-month price change is based on analyst consensus price target estimates, sourced from publicly available data, and should not be interpreted as a reliable prediction of future performance.
