Dell to offer 4 million new shares: stock's price drops; other factors cited

Article Abstract:

Dell Computer Corp has announced it will offer for sale to the public about four million new shares of common stock in early Dec 1992. After the announcement the company's shares finished at $36.125, down $1.50. While company stock usually drops with the announcement of the issuance of more shares, analysts feel that in this case other factors have caused the decline. These include the feeling that Dell's sales growth may start to slow and that profit margins will be tighter. The stock sale will increase Dell's common shares outstanding to approximately 42.5 million, or over 10 percent, compared to 38.46 million at the end of the second quarter on Aug 2, 1992.
