Dell has warned its revenues could be hit by a worldwide
shortage of hard drives caused by the flooding in Thailand .
US-based Dell is the world's third-largest personal computer
maker.
The earnings warning came as Dell announced revenues of
$15.4bn (£9.7bn) and net profits of $893m (£564m) for the third quarter of
2011.
Shares in Dell fell by 2% in after-hours trading in New York , after the
warning and after analysts said revenues had slightly missed expectations.
Brian Gladden, Dell's chief financial officer, told Reuters
that the Thai floods may mean the company has to give priority to
"higher-end customers and products".
