Schwab said, that Dell can still gets its groove back despite economic downturn. He expects meaningful P/E expansion as investors look for liquid, inexpensive, financially powerful companies.

He also expects that the stock could trade up to fifteen times his $1.26 earnings per share estimate for 2011. And If Schwab is wrong, downside is limited given the company's continual profitability, significant free cash flow generation and current low valuation, he said.

Dell shares rose 37 cents to 3.76 percent at $10.20.
