Many analysts expect Dell to exit the bidding battle 3PAR
According to foreign media reports, as unbearable unrealistically high bid price, most analysts believe that Dell and HP are likely to withdraw from bidding battle between the 3PAR.
Monday, Reuters news agency on 8-bit technology investment and analysts conducted a survey. HP pavilion dv6000 Battery According to the survey, most people probably expect Dell to give up and Hewlett-Packard reported a USD 30 per share bid, or to refuse to quote higher than the bid to withdraw from 3PAR, bidding dispute.
Dell must be whether and Hewlett-Packard this week reported that three out of two billion U.S. dollars price to continue to compete to make the final decision. Analysts said that once the acquisition of 3PAR Inc., Hewlett-Packard or Dell, will quickly make from a traditional PC business to more profitable areas of business technology services transfer.
Venture capital firm Highland Capital (Highland Capital Partners) executives peterbell (Peter Bell), said: "Obviously, the two companies desperately want to merge into their own products 3PAR system, and are aware computing in the cloud storage service the special importance of architecture. but I think Dell and HP's bid difficult to win. Hewlett-Packard's cash reserves are much more abundant than the Dell. "
Dell's average annual income of roughly 53 billion U.S. dollars, while the HP up to 115 billion U.S. dollars, a huge financial advantage that can not be ignored. HP also has a more substantial in the global sales force and coverage of broader sales channels, more help to help it achieve rapid growth 3PAR business. These factors mean that their return on investment is far higher than Dell.
Dell Inc. this week said the company is still further assess the situation bid and refused to negotiate on the bid for the content of comment.
Up to now, HP's bid price of 2 billion U.S. dollars is sustained in this week-long bidding war for both the highest offer. Last Friday, according to people familiar with the matter told Reuters, Hewlett-Packard still has strong financial capacity to continue to improve the offer.
But few analysts have also said that Dell may continue to bid the price war to force Sony VGP-BPL2 battery the Hewlett-Packard reported a higher purchase price.
Market research firm Cross Research analyst Shannon Cross said: "We are likely to see 3PAR, Dell continued to participate in bidding. But the company again raised bid of space has been very limited."
American Morningstar (Morningstar) analyst Maikeerhuo Stewart (Michael Holt) pointed out that HP may like to take the opportunity to buy 3PAR, the outside world that its former chief executive Mark Hurd's departure did not bring to the company's business affected. Holt also said that HP's board of directors approved 10 billion U.S. dollars worth of new stock repurchase authorization is also the intention of this.
Holt said: "If Dell is to take full advantage of HP's high-level state of the power vacuum weaken the strength of its major competitors, then I think Dell's gamble did not achieve the expected results."
Serious unrealistically high price
However, some analysts said, quoting two billion U.S. dollars in such a huge price, the HP is also the last harvest in the bid side contains the chagrin and frustration. After all, until Dell reported a 18 dollars per share, before the initial purchase price, 3PAR company's stock price during the year has been hovering around 10 dollars per share. Ever since its inception in 1999, 3PAR's annual profit is very small.
However, analysts still believe that, 3PAR really worth the price of the company. The company specializes in providing data storage services, and this service is essential for the development of cloud computing. Cloud computing allows computer users to access vast amounts of data through the Internet and software, while providing the data and software companies significant cost savings.
Some analysts point out that large companies like HP are fully capable of 3PAR within Vaio Vgn-cr290 battery a few years to achieve sales growth of double or even triple, which underscores its acquisition of 3PAR is wise.
When asked about his view that the upper limit of the purchase price, Stifel Nicolaus & Co. Analyst Aaron Rakers said: "HP's price seems far beyond the scope of our rationality. But from the point of view to consider profit efficiency, we seem to never can not be expected to give companies such as HP, 3PAR has brought much of the profit improvement. "
More of Renshi boldly pointed out that if owning your own storage technology Jiang Shu Ju mean Zaiweilaishuo years, Dell, Hewlett-Packard Huozhe yes Cheng Wei and Bao Kuo IBM and Sike Technology Fu Wu Lei Wu Da, including the one company, Huan Shi Jing Zheng of those companies in the beats.
In the data storage services, 3PAR with EMC, Hitachi (Hitachi Ltd), NetApp and IBM, they strive competition. And its development of high-end products and technologies is very difficult to IBM ThinkPad R50 Battery imitate by other firms.
