Dell Surges 12% Amid AI Powering 40% Revenue Growth

 Dell Technologies reported fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results, delivering record revenue, earnings, and cash flow. The company also presented very strong guidance for fiscal year 2027, driven by rapid growth in its AI-optimized server segment. Market reaction was clearly positive, with the stock rising 12% in after-hours trading.

The results confirm that Dell is increasingly transforming itself from a traditional PC manufacturer into a key provider of data center infrastructure and AI solutions. The Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) is now responsible for the majority of the company’s growth momentum, with quarterly AI-optimized server revenue surging more than 300% year over year. Dell reported over $64 billion in AI server orders in FY2026 and entered the new fiscal year with a backlog of $43 billion, signaling strong revenue visibility for the coming quarters.

Investors responded positively primarily to the ambitious yet credible guidance for the current fiscal year, which clearly exceeds market consensus. Particularly significant is the expected doubling of AI server revenue to around $50 billion. Strong cash flow generation, a higher dividend, and an expanded share buyback program further support the company’s valuation. As a result, Dell is increasingly viewed as one of the main beneficiaries of the global investment boom in AI infrastructure.
