13:58 EDTDELLEarnings Preview: Dell facing uncertainty about going private ahead of Q1 report
Dell (DELL) is set to report Q1 earnings after the market close on Thursday, May 16, with a conference call scheduled for 4:45 pm ET. Dell is a global IT company that operates enterprise, business, and consumer segments. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for EPS of 35c on revenue of $13.52B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is 28c-42c on revenue of $12.6B-$14.22B. A report by Dow Jones earlier this week said Dell will report non-GAAP EPS of 20c on revenue of about $14B. LAST QUARTER: Dell reported Q4 adjusted EPS of 40c against consensus for 39c on revenue of $14.3B against estimates for $14.12B. On its Q4 earnings conference call, the company said it expects continued margin pressure and market competitiveness in 2013. GO-PRIVATE NEWS: On February 5, Dell officially announced that it had agreed to be taken private for $13.65 per share by a consortium lead by Silver Lake. On March 25, Dell announced it had received two alternative proposals during its go-shop process, which began following its February 5 announcement. These proposals included a $14.25 per share offer from Blackstone (BX), and a $15 per share offer from Carl Icahn and affiliated funds, including Icahn Enterprises (IEP). On April 19, Dell announced that Blackstone decided not to submit a bid for the company. Last Friday, Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management, which collectively hold about a 13% stake in Dell, submitted an alternative proposal to Dell's board. The Icahn and Southeastern proposal would allow Dell shareholders to receive a $12 per share cash distribution or $12 of additional shares valued at $1.65 per share. On Monday, the special committee of Dell's board asked Icahn and Southeastern for more information related to proposal, while Icahn and Southeastern proposed a slate of directors to the company's board that same day. COMPANY NEWS: In addition to news surrounding the company's go-private proposal, data regarding global PC demand has also weighed on Dell. On April 10, data from IDC said worldwide PC shipments totaled 76.3M in Q1, a 13.9% decline from the prior year period, which was worse than the expected decline of 7.7%. IDC also added that this year-over-year decline was the worst since the firm began its quarterly tracking of the PC market in 1994. On March 28, data released by Gartner said worldwide IT spending is projected to increase 4.1% in 2013 to $3.8T. PRICE ACTION: Shares of Dell have slid more than 2.5% since the first day of trading following its Q4 report. Following the March announcement that Dell received alternative proposals from Blackstone and Icahn, shares closed as high as $14.51 per share. Through April, however, shares of Dell slipped, including a sharp decline after disclosing Blackstone withdrew its offer, with shares closing as low as $13.09 per share. In afternoon trading ahead of its Q1 report, shares of Dell are down 0.2%, to about $13.42.
