Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL | DELL Price Prediction) just delivered one of the most explosive quarters in its history, and the stock has responded in kind.

After a 153.81% year-to-date rally and an 88% revenue surge driven by AI servers, the question is whether the run has more room. Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Dell is $360.47, implying 13.69% upside from $317.05, with a buy rating and high confidence.

An AI Server Quarter That Changed The Narrative

Dell shares closed at $317.05 on May 28, up 25.42% in a week, 53.96% in a month, and 183% over one year.

The catalyst is Q1 FY27: revenue of $43.84 billion beat estimates by 22.58%, non-GAAP EPS of $4.86 beat by 63.99%, and AI-Optimized Server revenue exploded 757% to $16.13 billion. Management booked $24.40 billion in AI orders during the quarter alone and raised full-year FY27 revenue guidance to $165 billion to $169 billion, with non-GAAP EPS guided to $17.90 at the midpoint.

Why Bulls See A Breakout Ahead

The bull case is a backlog story. Dell exited FY26 with a $43 billion AI server backlog and added $24.40 billion of fresh orders in a single quarter. Guidance for roughly $60 billion in AI server revenue in FY27 represents 144% growth, and ISG operating margin already expanded to 10.5%.

Reddit sentiment hit 85 (Very Bullish) post-earnings. If forward EPS continues to migrate higher, our bull case scenario tops out at $414.49 over the next twelve months.

UBS analyst David Vogt raised the firm’s price target on Dell Technologies to $440 from $243 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares while Citi analyst Asiya Merchant raised the firm’s price target on the stock to $475 from $290 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares.

JPMorgan raised the firm’s price target to $500 from $280 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares following the fiscal Q1 report.

The Risks Worth Watching

Gross margin compressed to 17.8% from 21.1% a year earlier as AI server mix dilutes profitability. Dell carries negative shareholders’ equity of negative territory and faces single-source supplier exposure. The analyst consensus target of $218.09 sits well below the current quote, and recent insider activity skews toward selling, with 553 transactions net negative.

Bulls would counter that margin pressure reflects deliberate volume capture in a land grab phase, while operating income still grew 213.8% YoY. Our bear scenario lands at $280.62.

Dell Price Prediction 2026-2030

The 24/7 Wall St. price target of $360.47 backs a buy at 90% confidence. The tipping factor is the FY27 EPS guide of $17.90, which puts the implied forward multiple near 23x, reasonable for an AI infrastructure leader compounding earnings at 74%. The thesis strengthens if AI backlog continues building above $40 billion. It weakens if ISG margins slip below 9% or backlog conversion stalls.

Looking further ahead, here is where our model projects Dell could trade, assuming current trajectories hold.

Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target
2026 $360.47
2027 $357.96
2028 $401.26
2029 $423.45
2030 $452.22

These projections assume Dell continues executing on AI infrastructure share gains. Significant upside or downside could come from hyperscaler capex cycles and supplier concentration.
