Dell’s Q2 2010 sees 16 percent increase in net income, flat revenue from Consumer unit

First with HP, and now with Dell. The PC maker (and occasional phone dabbler) posted its second quarter fiscal 2010 report, which actually gives an outstanding perspective on the relative position of each company within the global PC market. Whereas the House that Hurd once ran reported a $30.7 billion revenue and $2.3 billion operating profit, Dell posted $15.5 billion (up 22 percent) in revenue and $745 million operating income. Like we said earlier, operating income shouldn’t be confused with net income, which deducts those massive corporate taxes. Observing net, the company profited $545 million, up an excellent 16 percent year-over-year. That specialize in the buyer unit, revenue was flat at $2.9 billion, while even as operating income incurred a $21 million loss. Consistent with the clicking release, the company ” remains confident that initiatives underway will improve operating margins for the segment.” Is all this enough to quell irate shareholders? Chances are high that slim, but hey, it’s a start.
