Dell: The AI Thesis Won, But The Easy Upside Is Gone

Fiscal Q2 2027 thesis update  |  Rating: HOLD  |  Present target: $500

Summary

  • Dell's Q2 FY2027 revenue reached $47.0 Bn and non-GAAP EPS reached $7.04, beating pre-quarter consensus by about 4% and 43%, respectively.


  • The operating thesis strengthened: AI backlog rose from $43 Bn in the April article to $95 Bn, while storage, traditional servers and CSG all accelerated.


  • My $500 present target applies 20x to a $28.61 FY2028 EPS estimate and discounts the resulting future value at 10% for roughly 17 months.
