Things are looking good for Dell. Strong demand from business customers helped drive Dell's profit up 52% in its most recent quarter. The company reported net income of $441 million, or 22 cents per share, for the quarter ended April 30. That's up 52% from $290 million, or 15 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.
Dell reported earnings of $824 million, or 30 cents per share, in the quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial, who typically exclude one-time items from their estimates, were looking for 27 cents. Dell expects demand from corporate customers to remain strong as businesses upgrade IT equipment. But sales could slow in the current quarter due to seasonal factors.
