Price to earnings is 53.93x at the close of 2026-10-15 on FY2026 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits above the highest.
Today, against the Technology sector (365 companies), 53.93x sits at the 73rd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 15.65x to 58.59x.
Return on invested capital was 36.5% in FY2026, in the band labelled "Exceptional" (20.0% and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns on the capital in the business well above the usual cost of that capital.
Today, against the Technology sector (220 companies), 36.5% sits at the 89th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.2% to 17.5%.
Interest coverage was 5.22x in FY2026, in the band labelled "Investment grade" (3.00x to 6.00x), on lines anchored on Damodaran's interest-coverage table.
These are DELL’s filed figures. The research desk says what they mean, against peers and its own years, with what to check next.

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2026, the newest full year on file. 10 filed fiscal years on record, FY2017 to FY2026, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Oct 15, 2026. Ratios recomputed Oct 15, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.
The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry. A figure’s name opens its formula and the filings behind it; a statement that names no SEC filing has no filing date, and reads n/a.
10 filed fiscal years, FY2017 to FY2026, read from the annual reports Dell Technologies Inc filed with the SEC. Each year names its filing. Amounts in USD, as filed.

What to do with what you have read.
A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.

Writing down why you own each company, in your own words and with the numbers that have to stay true for it to hold, and then having those numbers re-checked every night against the newest filed accounts, and against the latest close where a rule watches a price, is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person. It writes to you the day one breaks, and stays quiet when nothing does. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published.
No card. 30 free days, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.

Once a week, what changed in the filings of US-listed companies, why it can matter to a thesis, and what deserves a closer review. Grounded in filings, not market noise.
