The market already knows that the financials of IBM will take a hit after the acquisition of SUN But the acquisition would be good for IBM as they grab hold of the shrinking enterprise hardware market! no one buys big servers anymore...IBM will have a better chance at the next innovation curve to save its floundering systems business and get back in the market In other news: So Africa is a new outsourcing destination, gives good hope to internationally poor locations with criminal history and other believers in sinking megaliths like IBM and outsourcing!

IBM's business model is fading as cloud computing begins its life. Over the next decade, we should see more and more companies putting applications onto the web, and IBM will not likely be a leader in this category, due to strength of companies like CRM and GOOG. In past downturns, IBM's stock has taken big hits from 58% to 84% drops, I surmise IBM's long-term and short-term risks can take the stock down at least 58% (2000-2002 drop) and possibly as high as the first IBM business model challenge (1987-1988) when MSFT began challenging their business model. Google and CRM are about as y...

The Dell Earnings Debacle: The Day After
|
|
|
<dl class="wp-caption alignleft caption-alignleft">
</dl>
Dell (DELL) shares have dropped 10% after yesterday’s highly disappointing earnings report for the fiscal third quarter ended October. As I noted yesterday, the company missed on both the revenue and EPS lines, posting results that suggest the company is continuing to lose share to its computer hardware rivals. As noted, the company reported revenue of $12.9 billion, up just 1% sequentially, down 15% from a year ago, and below the consensus at $13.2 billion. Per-share earnings of 23 cents a share missed by a nickel. <>There are large...

Why Doesn't the Revenues per Employee Ratio (R/E Ratio) Get More Respect?
|
|
|
One obscure way of measuring how efficient a company operates is the amount or sales or revenues that are generated for each employee at the company, also known as the Revenues per Employee Ratio or R/E Ratio. It is also sometimes referred to as the Sales per Employee Ratio or S/E ratio. I've written about the R/E ratio in the past a couple times, but there doesn't appear to be much interest in this metric.
The concept is simple. Let's assume there are two companies in the same industry generating the exact same amount of revenues. But Company A has 1,000 employees and Company B has 10,000 ...
