Shares of Dell Technologies climbed 5% Tuesday after the company increased its long-term revenue and profit growth expectations in a meeting with analysts.
The computer maker said it now expects annual revenue to expand between 7% and 9%, an increase from its prior forecast of 3% to 4%.
For the full year, it now expects diluted earnings per share to grow at least 15%, compared with its previous expectations for growth of 8% or higher.
Dell said it was raising its guidance as it capitalizes on “the unprecedented pace of change in technology,” particularly in artificial intelligence.
“Customers are hungry for AI and the compute, storage and networking we provide to deploy intelligence at scale,” CEO Michael Dell said in a statement. “We’re successfully translating that demand into growth and strong cash flow that we’ve largely returned to shareholders.”
The company added that its engineering, deployment, ecosystem and other services “position it as the AI infrastructure solutions leader.”
Dell also reiterated its third-quarter and fiscal 2026 forecasts. The company said in its latest earnings report in August that it plans to ship $20 billion of AI servers in its fiscal 2026, double what it sold last year.
Dell is one of Nvidia’s key customers. Dell buys chips from the AI leader and builds computers around them, which it sells to end-users such as CoreWeave, a cloud service, and Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI.
