Dell Lifts Annual Forecasts on AI Server Sales Boom
Dell Technologies raised its fiscal 2026 revenue forecast to $107 billion, driven by AI server shipments projected to reach $20 billion, doubling last year's sales, despite softness in PC and storage segments.
- On August 28, 2025, Dell Technologies Inc. reported Q2 FY2026 results beating revenue and EPS estimates and raised full-year guidance to $107 billion revenue and $9.55 non-GAAP EPS.
- Rising AI demand pushed the Infrastructure Solutions Group to record sales, with Servers and Networking revenue reaching $12.9 billion, up 69%, and shipments exceeding $10 billion in the first half, planning $20 billion for fiscal 2026.
- Segment data reveal storage business revenue fell 3% to $3.86 billion while client solutions group reached $12.5 billion and consumer PC sales declined 7%.
- Investors reacted by sending shares lower after-hours as Dell's Q3 EPS guidance of $2.45 disappointed estimates despite $2.5 billion in adjusted free cash flow and $1.3 billion returned via buybacks and dividends.
- With Microsoft ending Windows 10 support in October, about half of PCs still run Windows 10, implying many PC users may need replacement soon amid back-to-school sales.
