Dell’s [DELL 15.80 0.30 (+1.94%) ] earnings may be one of those things Wednesday morning. Its after-the-bell earnings report Tuesday beat estimates on the bottom line, but missed on the top line. Dell shares fell nearly 8 percent, as it also forecast flat revenues in the third quarter and lowered full-year revenue growth to 1 to 5 percent, from 5 to 9 percent.
Comments »Whether Dell is a forewarning for Hewlett-Packard [HP 57.42 -2.70 (-4.49%) ], which reports earnings Thursday, has yet to be seen, but it may spill into other tech names. Skull Candy, a recent IPO, was also down sharply in after hours trading on disappointing earnings.
There are a number of companies reporting Wednesday morning including Deere [DE 75.16 -1.34 (-1.75%) ], Target [TGT 49.37 1.25 (+2.6%) ], Abercrombie and Fitch [ANF 71.02 -0.69 (-0.96%) ], Staples [SPLS 14.22 0.52 (+3.8%) ] and Chico’s FAS [CHS 12.61 -0.43 (-3.3%) ]. After-the-bell reports are expected from JDS Uniphase [JDSU 11.91 -0.43 (-3.48%) ], Limited Brands [LTD 34.83 -0.27 (-0.77%) ] and PetSmart.
