If you believe DELL can sustain its 18.8% growth while narrowing the margin gap versus CSCO, then favor DELL because it is cheaper on P/S and EV/EBITDA and still offers 9.3% modeled upside.
DELL trades at 42.6x P/E versus CSCO at 46.6x, while the model implies 9.3% upside to $404.39 from a $369.83 current price. The valuation gap is supported more by DELL's faster growth and lower headline multiples than by superior profitability.
