Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) shares plunged almost 22% on Friday after the tech titan failed to meet investors' high AI server expectations. In its latest update, the computer hardware specialist raised its revenue outlook for fiscal 2025, ending in February next year, to a range of $93.5 billion to $97.5 billion, which represents an 8% increase at the mid-point.

Dell shares fell Friday over concerns about the company's margins and its AI server backlog. The company beat analysts' expectations and offered rosy guidance on Thursday, but it wasn't enough to appease Wall Street.
Stocks closed lower on Thursday with the S&P 500 falling 0.6% and Nasdaq Composite dropping 1.1%. Volatility, which has rebounded from its lows, closed just below 14.5, which is still low by historical standards. After yesterday's close, a slew of earnings sent futures down even further. And thus far, this morning's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index report, the Federal Reserve's preferred metric on inflation, has had a muted effect on markets.
Tech stocks look set to continue their disappointing end to what has otherwise been a stellar month as the sector struggled again early Friday.

U.S. stock futures are falling, extending Thursday's declines.
