AI server sales are set to drive top-line growth, with Dell benefiting from partnerships like xAI and the ongoing enterprise adoption of AI infrastructure. Client Solutions Group may remain flat as consumer PC sales lag due to inflation and tariffs stretching out discretionary spend, but commercial refreshes may provide some offset. Dell's valuation is attractive relative to its infrastructure peers. I rate Dell Technologies a BUY with a $119 price target, expecting a strong earnings surprise, driven by AI server growth.
Dell seems to be developing a new business model focusing on the infrastructure (ISG) segment, which is more profitable. Dell operates in the data center industry with a CAGR of 26.8%, data storage industry with CAGR of 17.2% and hardware with CAGR of 7.26%. Momentum in the hardware (CSG) segment seems to be emerging and the revenue from this segment will get a boost.
Dell Technologies' first-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings are expected to benefit from strong AI server demand, but trade risks and a weak PC market could limit upside.
