Dell Disappoints...

Dell Inc. (DELL) after the close reported a fourth-quarter profit of $679 million, or 31 cents a share, on revenue of $16 billion. During the year-ago period, Dell earned $726 million, or 32 cents a share, on $14.47 billion in revenue.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet Research had forecast Dell to earn 36 cents a share on sales of $16.24 billion. Dell said it expects to incur more costs as part of its business realignment plans and such actions could hurt its performance in the near term.

The stock is down slightly in after hours trading.
