Dell? Lost it's mojo?
That's what Barron's (a pay site not connected with THIS Barron) says about Dell's stock these days.
Shares have dropped by close to 30 percent, rival Hewlett-Packard is rising. And now Dell's revenue has grown less than predicted.
Analysts are wondering if Dell can hit its 2008 sales target of $80 billion a year.
This comes as home PC buyers are gravitating toward the no-frills models that sell for less than $500. They're not big profit-builders.
And hot markets like China don't fit with Dell's mail-order concept. They like to touch and play with computers before they buy.
The business-computer market looks strong, through, many analysts say. Good news for the new Winston-Salem factory that makes business computers.
