Investopedia: EMC May Be Stronger Than It Looks

So far, this is looking like a quarter where the IT hardware space is still in rough shape, but not quite as bad as feared. That's good news for EMC (NYSE: EMC), as storage equipment budgets generally follow the overall space. It also looks as though VMware (NYSE:VMW) may be recovering faster/better than expected, and it's worth noting that EMC delivered an in-line quarter even though the launches of the new VNX2 products have slipped into third quarter. All told, while this wasn't a quarter worthy of a victory dance, the idea that EMC's performance is improving seems realistic and the stock's valuation still looks attractive.
