Dell's profits will be below expectations, about a billion less than an initial estimate of 15,4 billion. That was enough to bring down the stocks of the American hi-tech sector. Rainfall sales that affected the company (Dell loses about 15%) but what a cascade also spilled over to Hewlett Pakard (-4,8%) Microsoft (-3,23%) and Texas Instrument (-1,94 ).
For the president of Dell, Steve Felice, a reorganization of the sales sector will be necessary for the company because until now too focused on the sale of specific sectors and parts of the product instead of all the components as a whole, i.e. hardware and software packages Together. "We know sales will remain slow in the coming months as businesses continue to use Windows 7 and will not immediately switch to Windows 8."
Facebook goes against the trend, earning 3,4% at the NYSE.
