MethodologyHow ET&A values a company and reaches a view.

How we value Dell Technologies Inc

  1. 1. The right method for the business. Each business is valued on the method that suits its economics — earnings for most companies, book value and returns for banks and insurers, cash flows or dividends where earnings mislead.
  2. 2. What the business deserves. ET&A builds a fair multiple from the company's own quality, sustainable growth, earnings predictability and risk. History, peers and the market are checked against it, but they don't set it.
  3. 3. Fair Value. The earnings (or other basis) per share multiplied by that fair multiple, cross-checked against independent methods.
  4. 4. Preferred Entry. A price below Fair Value that leaves room for the return ET&A requires for the company's risk.
  5. 5. Is it expensive? Today’s price is placed on ET&A’s Valuation Attractiveness scale — the same measure the ET&A Score uses. Cheap is the Preferred Entry; above Fair Value the shares are Expensive, and Very Expensive once they are more than 25% above it.

How we reach a view

The ET&A View combines our assessment of the business with where today’s price sits against our Preferred Entry and Fair Value. It is a considered judgement, not a mechanical score.

  • Business quality
  • Financial performance
  • Growth outlook
  • Debt and financial strength
  • Valuation
  • Risk
  • What could drive it higher
Buy
ET&A sees significant upside from the current price with an attractive risk/reward profile.
Accumulate
ET&A likes the company but would prefer investors to build exposure gradually.
Hold
ET&A sees limited reason to buy aggressively or sell at the current price.
Reduce
ET&A believes the current valuation or risk profile makes a smaller position more appropriate.
Sell
ET&A believes the downside risk materially outweighs the potential return at the current price.

ET&A Score: ET&A's overall assessment of business quality, valuation, growth and risk, out of 10. It weighs business quality, financial strength, growth, valuation, risk, future prospects.

The overall answer is the average of the areas we could rate (at least three); the dividend isn’t part of it.

Why Investors Are Paying More Attention to Côte d’Ivoire

Côte d’Ivoire is emerging as one of West Africa’s more compelling investment stories. Strong economic growth, rising foreign investment, better infrastructure and an expanding private sector are changing perceptions of the country. The harder question is whether that momentum can generate enough productive jobs, reduce inequality and survive future political transitions.

ASML: The Most Important Company Most Investors Cannot Properly Value

ASML occupies one of the strongest competitive positions in global industry. Its machines are indispensable to advanced semiconductor manufacturing, yet its exposure to chip investment cycles, geopolitics and rapidly changing technology makes the company considerably harder to value than the word “monopoly” might suggest.

The UK Could Be an Early Test of AI Driven Productivity

After years of spending on chips, data centres and software, there are early signs that artificial intelligence is beginning to influence economic activity beyond the technology sector. The UK’s latest growth figures offer an interesting glimpse of what that transition could look like.
