What Wall Street Expects from Dell Earnings

Over the past year, Dell’s rally has been fueled by surging demand for AI and growing expectations that Dell will remain a major beneficiary of the AI spending boom.

Heading into earnings, analysts expect Dell to report fiscal first-quarter revenue in the mid-$35 billion range, with adjusted earnings per share projected between $2.90 and $3.00. Investors will also be closely watching the company’s guidance for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Analysts at Citigroup raised their price target on Dell to $290 from $235, citing “strong neocloud/sovereign AI demand and improving enterprise mix” as key growth drivers, according to Seeking Alpha.

Analysts at Mizuho Financial Group also boosted their Dell price target, increasing it to $300 from $260. The firm pointed to agentic AI workloads as a durable catalyst for sustained server demand and recurring revenue growth.

Dell is scheduled to post its first-quarter results on May 28.
