Operational Performance Analysis of Dell (1993-1998) PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 42-slide Finance and Valuation Basics PowerPoint presentation, presents a detailed analysis of Dell's operational performance from 1993 to 1998, highlighting key financial ratios and trends. The data is organized into 2 main sections: "Key Operational Ratios for Dell" and "Key Trends for Dell."

In the first section, several financial metrics are outlined, including Sales Growth, Gross Margin, Operating Margin, and Return on Equity (ROE). Sales Growth shows a consistent upward trajectory, peaking at 58.9% in 1997. Gross Margin fluctuates slightly, but remains strong, indicating effective cost management. Operating Margin also shows improvement, suggesting that Dell has been able to enhance its profitability over the years. The Return on Equity demonstrates a significant increase, reaching 73.0% in 1997, which reflects efficient utilization of shareholder equity.

The second section features a graphical representation of these trends, emphasizing the relationship between Sales Growth and other key indicators. Notably, the slide poses critical questions about working capital's increase as a percentage of sales and the reasons behind a decline in sales growth despite previous success. It also raises a point regarding inventory management, suggesting that Dell's low inventory levels could be a strategic advantage.

Overall, the slide effectively communicates Dell's operational strengths and raises pertinent questions for further analysis. It invites potential customers to consider the implications of these trends on future performance and strategic decisions. The insights provided can serve as a foundation for deeper discussions on operational efficiency and market positioning.

This slide is part of the Finance and Valuation Basics PowerPoint presentation.
