Dell Technologies Gains From SMCI Regulatory Setbacks
6.1
Dell Technologies is positioned for robust AI server growth after its Q4 AI server backlog rose to $45 billion, with AI servers accounting for over 50% of total backlog. The company could benefit from Super Micro Computer’s (SMCI) regulatory setbacks—including recent DOJ indictments—while trading at 0.87x sales and projecting about $140 billion revenue in FY27 with AI server revenue expected to more than double.
