00:01 Speaker A What I find remarkable about not just Dell, but like the moment that we're in, what keeps happening is you get these companies that have been around for a while, their businesses looked a certain way. You thought you understood the change in their business and the increase in demand, and then it just comes out and like smacks you in the face with that it is more than that. 00:26 Sp...
00:01 Speaker A What I find remarkable about not just Dell, but like the moment that we're in, what keeps happening is you get these companies that have been around for a while, their businesses looked a certain way. You thought you understood the change in their business and the increase in demand, and then it just comes out and like smacks you in the face with that it is more than that. 00:26 Speaker B Yes. 00:26 Speaker A And, and so Dell was sort of the latest example with, um, what first quarter sales up 88% and beat by 23%. 00:36 Speaker B Yeah, so So, I, I did a couple of things with Dell here.

Into the quarter, the company was trading at 24 times revenue. 01:54 Speaker A Yeah. 01:54 Speaker B If you multiply 1731 times 24, you get 415. The stock is trading at 423 this morning. So, it's not a rerating, but it is to your point, like, 02:08 Speaker A Mhm. 02:11 Speaker B I guess I'm a little surprised that the, the whisper number wasn't that there would be a a raise like this, a guide like this.
