This is a 33 P/E and about 5.7 times tangible book value. A 68 % premium over last week trading price will ensure the deal is accepted.

I hope Dell know how to profit from that deal.

Three reasons:
1. Dell has to make a strong step into Services to keep up with HP.
2. Services is the continuing revenue stream after a hardware sale.
3. Perot systems has $2.8B revenues.

IMHO, this is not a bad purchase.
