I maintain my STRONG BUY rating on Dell, driven by robust AI server demand, strong order backlog, and disciplined cost controls supporting future growth. Dell's partnerships with NVIDIA, AMD, and Google, plus innovative server and storage solutions, position it as a key AI infrastructure provider. Financials are solid: Q1 FY26 revenue up 5% YoY, ISG segment up 12%, strong free cash flow, and management committed to shareholder returns.
DELL and HPQ are well-known players in the PC Market. Let's find out which one is a better investment option.
Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL ) Bank of America Global Technology Conference June 3, 2025 12:20 PM ET Company Participants Arthur Lewis - President of ISG Conference Call Participants Wamsi Mohan - BofA Securities Wamsi Mohan Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Day 1 of Bank of America's Global Tech Conference.
Dell Technologies (DELL) has been one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com users lately. So, it is worth exploring what lies ahead for the stock.
Dell's transformation from a PC giant to an AI infrastructure leader positions it as a key beneficiary of the AI revolution. The Infrastructure Solutions Group is driving growth, outpacing the slower, cash-cow PC division, despite razor-thin margins. Dell's record server revenue and focus on AI factories support an 8-10% stock price increase over the next 12 months.
Dell's AI server business is gaining momentum, with a $14.4B backlog and strong partnerships beyond hyperscalers, supporting its bullish AI thesis. Despite weak consumer revenue, Dell's commercial and ISG segments are growing, but AI isn't yet the main topline driver, potentially tempering valuation upside. Robust cash flow and disciplined capital allocation reassure investors, but low free cash flow margins may limit aggressive valuation re-rating near-term.
Dell Technologies' first-quarter fiscal 2026 results reflect strong AI-driven growth and an expanding backlog.
I added Dell to my portfolio early last month and have already enjoyed a >50% return. Q1 results tell me there's probably more to come. Dell is set for a meaningful growth acceleration, driven by a large AI server backlog and pipeline, which has led to a strong Q2 FY26 revenue guidance beat. The company is well positioned to gain PC market share amid the Windows 11 refresh, due to its industry-leading position in AI PC offerings.
Dell Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:DELL) gave investors something to cheer about this week despite falling short of quarterly profit expectations. The US computer giant's adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter came in at $1.55, below the $1.69 forecast by analysts.
Although the revenue and EPS for Dell Technologies (DELL) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended April 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
