Operating margin is thin at 7.18%. Limited cushion if revenue slows or costs rise, not the profile of a wide-moat business.
Revenue grew 18.8%, still solid.
At 26x earnings, the current multiple leaves limited room for execution misses or growth deceleration.
26.3x earnings, 34.4x FCF. Not cheap, the quality is already reflected in the price. Upside from here requires either margin expansion or growth re-acceleration, not just continuation.

At a P/E of 26.3 and a price-to-free-cash-flow of 34.4, Dell Technologies (DELL) trades above a two-stage DCF intrinsic value of about $199.61 per share, so at $451.71 the stock looks overvalued (55.8% above estimated intrinsic value).

Frequently asked
What is Dell Technologies's fair value?+
Intrinsiqq's two-stage DCF estimates an intrinsic value of about $199.61 per share for DELL, projecting its recent free cash flow forward with a growth rate that fades toward a long-run rate and discounting it back to today. Applying a 25% margin of safety gives a more conservative fair-value entry around $149.71. At today's $451.71, that puts the stock about 55.8% above estimated intrinsic value. The result is sensitive to the growth and discount-rate inputs, so it is best to run conservative, base and optimistic cases. You can adjust all of them yourself with the sliders on the DCF tab.
Is Dell Technologies a high-quality business?+
Dell Technologies scores 77 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which makes it a solid business on these measures. Recent fundamentals include a 9.4% operating margin and a 36.0% return on invested capital. The score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, share-count change, and balance-sheet strength, all computed from SEC filings, not opinion. Because valuation only means something relative to quality, the full metric-by-metric breakdown is on the quality scorecard.
Does Dell Technologies (DELL) pay a dividend, and how much?+
Yes, Dell Technologies pays a regular dividend of about $2.40 per share per year (typically in quarterly installments), a yield of roughly 0.5% at the current price. That is a payout ratio of about 13.8% of earnings, so the dividend is amply covered by earnings. A low headline yield is not the same as a weak dividend: what matters is how well earnings and free cash flow cover the payout and whether it is growing, not the percentage alone. For DELL's full payout history, growth streak and dividend-safety score, see the dividends tab.
Is Dell Technologies a good stock to buy right now?+
That depends on valuation and quality together, not either alone. DELL currently trades above its estimated intrinsic value and scores 77/100 on quality (solid). It also yields about 0.5%. A cheap price is only a bargain if the business is durable, and a premium can be justified by genuine quality, so the two questions, "is it cheap?" and "is it good?", only make sense side by side. Read the valuation against the quality scorecard, run the DCF on your own assumptions, and decide for yourself. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
