Dell Technologies: Public to Private and Back to Public

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The case study discusses the buyout strategy of Dell Inc. Dell Inc. was a market leader in PCs in the early 2000s. Due to a substantial change in technology, the market share of PCs declined significantly, and Dell missed opportunities and recorded a decline in sales of over 10% from November 2012 to January 2013 due to a fall in shipments. After analysing the complex circumstances, Mr Michael Dell, CEO and Chairman of Dell Inc., decided to convert the publicly traded company into a private company in 2013 through a buyout deal. On 28 December 2018, Dell was again listed on the New York Stock Exchange for trading through a tracking stock strategy. The case study deals with several ups and downs of the company and also provides a platform to discuss the various benefits of buyouts.
