Apple could buy Dell with cash

Apple could buy Dell with cash

Here’s an interesting corporate milestone: When the markets closed on Wednesday, Dell (DELL) was trading at $11.98 share, with 1.96 billion shares outstanding. That puts Dell’s market capitalization at $23.5 billion.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, Steve Jobs reported that Apple (AAPL) ended fiscal year 2008 with $24.5 billion in the bank.

In other words, Apple could buy Dell with the cash it has on hand and still have more than $1 billion left over.

Hard to believe that it’s been only 11 years since Michael Dell, asked what he would do if he were Apple’s CEO, answered:

“What would I do? I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.” (link)

For the record, Apple’s market cap today stands at $85.8 billion.

Don’t cry for Michael Dell, however. According to a list of the 400 wealthiest Americans published last month, his net worth is still more than three times Steve Jobs’.

•Michael Dell: $17.3 billion
•Steve Jobs: $5.7 billion

Apple could buy Dell outright; Mac-maker has more cash on hand than Dell is worth

On October 6, 1997, in response to the question of what he'd do if he was in charge of Apple Computer, Dell founder and CEO Michael Dell stood before a crowd of several thousand IT executives and answered flippantly, "What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."

A little more than a month later, on November 10, 1997, new Apple Interim CEO (iCEO) Steve Jobs responded, speaking in front of an image of Michael Dell's bulls-eye covered face, "We're coming after you; you're in our sights."

On January 13, 2006, after a little more than eight years of hard work, Apple Inc. passed Dell, Inc. in market value, $72.13 billion vs. $71.97 billion at market close, respectively.

On July 27, 2007, Apple's value doubled that of Dell's, $127.81 billion vs. $63.65 billion, respectively.

On December 6, 2007, Apple's market value passed 3 times that of Dell's, $165.66 billion vs. $54.42 billion, respectively.

On May 1, 2008, Apple rose $6.05, or 3.48%, to close at $180.00 and the company's market value passed 4 times that of Dell's, $158.66 billion vs. $38.97 billion.

Even after the recent market meltdown, and factoring in the $12.12 that Apple gained in after-hours trading today following stellar results, Apple is still worth nearly 4 times that of Dell, $91.79 billion vs. $24.66 billion, respectively.

Not only that, but today, Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed that Apple currently has $25 billion in the bank and is a debt-free company.

In other words, Apple could basically buy Dell outright and, oh, what the heck, shut it down and keep the money since they'd be the only shareholders. (Of course, that'd be the kind of horribly-conceived deal only Steve Ballmer would pursue.)

Got any snappy retorts now, Mr. Dell?

AAPL and DELL quotes via NASDAQ are here.

What else would $25 or so billion buy?
• Research in Motion - $28.57 billion
• Sony (includes Sony Music Entertainment) - $25.43 billlion
• Amazon - $21.39 billion
• Activision Blizzard - $17.13 billion
• Yahoo - $16.73 billion*
• Adobe - $14.65 billion
• Motorola - $12.87 billion
• Electronic Arts - $8.98 billion
• Autodesk - $5.48 billion**
• EMI Group (includes EMI Music) - $3.67 billion
• SanDisk - $3.32 billion
• Warner Music Group - $720.67 million***
• RealNetworks - $600.47 million****
• Palm - $463.20 million
• Napster - $126.46 million

*But, that just might kill Ballmer; better to leave him right where he is for as long as it takes.
**Can you say "AutoCAD for Mac OS X at half the price of the Windows version along with the announcement that Windows support would be phased out over a two-year period combined with the offer to double the number of licenses at no extra cost by migrating to Mac OS X?" We knew you could.
***Eliminate the Middlebronfman, indeed.
****Hey, don't laugh, that's still a lot of doughnuts!

Isso é uma prova que o mercado sabe dar valor a quem realmente o tem ao contrário do que muitos dizem.

Quando se tem valor ele vem sempre ao cima mesmo nos piores momentos, só uma pequena nota o ordenado do Steve Jobs é simbólico de 1$ por mês e depois tem uma % dos resultados da empresa e com isso foi simplesmente dos gestores mais bem pagos do mundo.

Quem faz assim um contrato sabe mesmo do seu valor é de pessoas assim que este mundo precisa.

Abraço,
