Market Movers: JPMorgan Reiterated Overweight Rating on Dell
From live coverage: Stock Market Live May 15, 2026: S&P 500 (SPY) Deep in the Red
Dell (NYSE: DELL | DELL Price Prediction) is also getting caught up in the pullback this morning.
The good news for the stock – JPMorgan reiterated its buy rating on the tech giant with a price target of $280 ahead of earnings.
“We are expecting Dell to raise its earnings guidance for FY27 (Jan-end) again from the already raised outlook of 25% growth, although more modest in this case, on account of flow-through of the beat in F1Q27 but constrained by supply visibility, which still needs to catch up to the higher demand outlook for AI servers in particular,” said the firm, as quoted by CNBC.
Dell is scheduled to post its first-quarter results on May 28.
