Dell Shares Drop Despite AI Growth Potential

Brief news summary

Dell Technologies (DELL) shares dropped over 12% on Wednesday, closing at $124.38, following mixed third-quarter results that JPMorgan described as "admittedly messy." Despite this, Dell's year-to-date stock gains remain above 62%. The company reported a 10% year-over-year increase in revenue to $24.4 billion, though it fell short of analysts' expectations and its fourth-quarter outlook was also underwhelming. JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley, however, remain optimistic about Dell's long-term potential, particularly due to growing demand for AI servers. Both banks reiterated an "overweight" rating, with JPMorgan setting a price target of $160 and Morgan Stanley at $154. Analysts highlighted Dell's record quarterly backlog of $4.5 billion and near-record AI server revenue as indicators of its strong position in the AI market. They believe that concerns over the results and guidance are likely exaggerated, and anticipate strong growth in AI server revenue in the future.

Dell Technologies (DELL) shares dropped on Wednesday following third-quarter results described as “admittedly messy” by JPMorgan, although the bank's analysts believe Dell is still well-positioned to benefit from the long-term rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The company, known for its servers and personal computers, reported third-quarter revenue of $24. 4 billion, a 10% increase from the previous year. However, this was below the consensus from Visible Alpha analysts, and their fourth-quarter outlook was also underwhelming. As a result, Dell's stock fell more than 12% to close at $124. 38. Nevertheless, despite Wednesday's losses, the stock has risen over 62% since the beginning of the year. Growing AI Server Demand JPMorgan maintained its "overweight" rating and a $160 price target after Dell's earnings report.

The analysts highlighted that despite missing revenue expectations, “AI server demand momentum continues to build, ” citing Dell’s record quarterly backlog of $4. 5 billion. This strong backlog, along with nearly record-high AI server revenue, indicates that concerns about the results and guidance are likely exaggerated. Similarly, Morgan Stanley kept an "overweight" rating and a $154 price target. Their analysts noted, "DELL delivered where it needed to, " expressing strong confidence that Dell is gaining traction in a rapidly expanding market. They remain optimistic about the growth of AI server revenue into the next year.
