During the year 2010 to 2011, the Return on Equity (ROE) has increased from
28.9% to 39.3%. This means the shareholders are getting more return on their
investment.
While for the Net Profit Margin (NPM), it has increased from 2.7% to 4.3% during
the year of 2010 to 2011. Which means Dell is controlling their overall expenses
better at 2011 than 2010.
Besides that, the business ability to control cost of goods sold is getting worst because
Gross Profit Margin (GPM) has decreased from 17.5% to 5.9% during the year
2010 to 2011.
During the year 2010 to 2011, the Selling Expense Ratio (SER) and General
Expense Ratio (GER) has increased from 6.1% to 18.5%. This means the business
ability to control selling and general expense are getting worst.
Lastly, during the year 2010 to 2011, Financial Expense Ratio (FER) has decreased
from 0.28% to 0.24%. This is good news as the business ability to control financial
expense is getting better.
Financial Stability
6
During the year 2010 to 2011, Working Capital (WC) has increased from 0.87:1 to
0.94:1. This means the ability of the current asset of Dell to pay back current liability
is getting better. But at the same time, it does not have the minimum ratio 2:1
requirement.
While for Total Debt (TD) in year 2010 to 2011, it has decreased from 83.24% to
79.88. This means Dell carries less debt than before. However, it is above the 50%
maximum limit.
During the period of 2010 to 2011, Inventory Turnover (IT) has increased from 8
days to 9 days. This means Dell is selling their goods at slower rate.
Besides that, Debtor Turnover (DT) of 2010 to 2011 has increased a day which is
from 36 days to 37 days. Which means Dells is collecting their debt at slower rate.
Last but not least, during the year 2010 to 2011, Interest Coverage (IC) has
increased from 10.7 times to 32.8 times. This means the ability of this business to pay
its interest expense become stronger.
Price-Earnings Ratio (P/E ratio)
7
Dell current share price is $ 12.6 and earnings per share in year 2011 is $1.36
Ratio:
This means, Dell’s price/earnings ratio is 9.3.
Besides that, it also means that if an investor invested this year, he/she have to wait
for 9 years to recoup his/hers investment to claim back his/hers original principal.
Investment Recommendation
8
12.61 1.36 = 9.3
Firstly, we will look into profitable and financial stability of year 2010 and 2011. As
we can see from the previous page, numbers and calculations were recorded to refer.
Profitable stability
Return on equity(ROE)
As the information shown, owner, shareholders and investors are
getting more return on their investment.
So it is a good point of it.
Net profit margin (NPM)
The business controls their overall expenses well.
Thus, more profit the business will make.
Good point
Gross profit margin (GPM)
The business couldn’t control their cost of goods sold well.
It will cause lose to business
Bad point
Selling Expense Ratio (SER) & General Expense Ratio (GER)
Couldn’t manage the expenses well
Cause lose to business
Bad point
Financial Expense Ratio (FER)
Managed financial expense well.
Good point
Financial Stability
Working Capital (WC)
9
Better than previous years
But, unstable because it did not achieve minimum of ratio 2:1
Strong but risky.
Total Debt (TB)
Improvement in carries debt.
But still exceed maximum limit of 50%
Strong but risky
Stock turnover (ST)
Sell of stock at slower rate
Remain the same with previous year
Strong as a day doesn’t influence much
Debtor Turnover (DT)
Collect debt at slower rate.
Strong as it only one day difference.
Interest Coverage (IC)
Ability to pay interest is strong.
Conclusion
10
As we can see, the good and strong points are more than bad points. From here, we
got 51% of overall performance. The other 19% from profitable and financial stability
occurs in GPM,SER and GER as Dell couldn’t manage their selling and general
expense and eventually it will effect GPM as it involves cost of goods sold.
Lastly, we would like to related it back to Price-Earnings Ratio, as we can see, it is
under 15. So if we were to invest into a business, we would like to invest into Dell.
