Dell Technologies Q3 Performance: Challenges and Outlook for Q4

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Dell Technologies shares dropped over 11% in after-hours trading after the company lowered its fourth-quarter revenue guidance, citing weaker demand for its traditional PCs and increasing competition. This underperformance has left investors cautious as the tech giant navigates challenges in its core business areas.
Q3 Earnings Overview
For the third quarter, Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.15, surpassing analysts’ expectations of $2.06 per share. However, its revenue of $24.4 billion fell short of the expected $24.69 billion.
The disappointing revenue performance was largely driven by a decline in the Client Solutions Group, which includes PCs and laptops. The group’s revenue dropped 1% year-over-year (YoY) to $12.1 billion. This reflects a broader trend of slowing demand for personal computers as consumers and businesses hold off on new purchases.
On a more positive note, Dell’s Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) saw revenue soar by 34% YoY, primarily driven by a surge in AI-related demand. This growth suggests that Dell’s investments in AI servers and data centers are beginning to pay off. However, consumer revenue fell by 18% to $2 billion, underscoring the challenges the company faces in its consumer-facing business.
Q4 Forecast and Analyst Views
Looking ahead, Dell has projected fourth-quarter revenue between $24 billion and $25 billion, missing the average analyst estimate of $25.57 billion. While Deutsche Bank analysts noted that the lower guidance is mainly due to delays in AI server sales and PC refresh activities, they emphasized that these headwinds are likely to be temporary deferrals rather than permanent losses. They anticipate a more favorable setup for Dell entering FY26, but short-term estimates may trend lower following the earnings report.
Despite the negative reaction in the stock market, Morgan Stanley analysts viewed the investor response as “overdone,” suggesting that Dell’s stock could be a buy post-earnings dip, as the company’s long-term prospects in AI and infrastructure remain solid.
Dell’s AI Growth Opportunity
Despite the short-term challenges, Dell’s growth in AI-related infrastructure offers a potential catalyst for recovery. The Infrastructure Solutions Group’s 34% YoY revenue growth signals that demand for AI servers is strong, and this sector could continue to be a major growth driver in the coming quarters. This positions Dell to capitalize on the ongoing AI boom as enterprises increase investments in AI technology and infrastructure.
Using FMP for Market Insights
For investors seeking detailed financial data to track Dell’s performance and other stocks, FMP’s Financial Statements API provides in-depth reports on earnings, revenue, and other key financial metrics. Additionally, for tracking AI growth sectors, the Financial Growth API offers valuable insights into market trends, helping investors make informed decisions based on real-time data.
