Dell Stock to 14 Months After the Confirmation of a Spin-Off Talks

Dell Technologies Inc. (DELL) has confirmed that it is exploring a spin-off of the majority-held VMware, Inc. (VMW), the lifting of Dell stock to a 14-month high while VMware sold. The discrepancy makes sense because the parent has little to lose in the transaction and much to gain, while the child is already fully valued. The company noted that the spin-off discussions are currently in the exploration phase, but the initial reaction from Wall Street has been very positive.

Dell stock has under-performed badly after the December 2018 initial public offering (IPO), the expenses of the majority of the past 19 months, trading below the $46 POPE opening print. This default behavior has encouraged the market players to ask why Michael Dell has chosen to abandon private status after the deletion of the company from the Nasdaq 100 in 2013. The founder must have wondered the same thing, with rumors about a sale swirling just two months after the offer.

Dell currently holds an 81% stake in VMWare, which is to be valued more than the parent. Analyst Cowen Krish Sankar raised his price target on the shares to $63 from $60 Friday morning, noting that the transaction could happen as early as the month of September 2021, adding, “we estimate basic Dell could be valued at $31, and the VMW stub to $64.” However, he warns that “the unlocking of this value depends on the negotiation of an agreement between the two companies and a special dividend for the debt.”
