Deutsche Bank reiterates a 'Buy' on Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) price target of $17.00.

Deutsche analyst said, "Our preliminary analysis suggests the deal will be $0.04-0.07 accretive to CY13 EPS on a cash basis (DB at CY13 EPS of $2.00). Key assumptions of the analysis include: $2.4B transaction value, base line Quest revs of $857M in 2011, rev growth of 5-10%, CY13 operating margins ranging from 13-15%, synergies of $25-50M, tax rate of 20% and post tax financing cost of 1.6%. This analysis suggests the ROI on the deal is ~5-7% in CY13. In aggregate, it appears Dell has sourced an asset at a reasonable value (~2.5x revs) with attractive margin & growth characteristics."

The firm maintains FY13 revenue/EPS at $59.5B/$1.85 and FY14 at $60.4B/$2.00.
