Things are good for Dell right now. Only days after regulatory filings showed waning support for Dell CEO Michael Dell, the company reported earnings that topped analysts' estimates. On Thursday, Dell reported net income of $545 million, or 28 cents per share, for the quarter that ended July 30. That's up 17% from $472 million, or 24 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.
Strong demand from Dell's corporate clients helped as businesses around the world are updating their outdated technology. Dell expects sales growth in the low single digits during the third quarter and expects full year revenues to increase 14% and 19% versus last year. Dude, people are getting some Dells.
