Jefferies initiates coverage on Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) with a Hold rating and $17 price target.

The firm states, "Despite near-term benefits from falling PC component prices and the enterprise PC refresh cycle, we believe Dell has longer-term disadvantages in a tablet and cloud world: Dell is not focused on tablets and is well behind HP in developing a full cloud stack. In contrast to HP, we see Dell’s 3-year forward margins below where they are today. We are above consensus for the next 2 Qs but below for FY13."
