Market News Dell Shares Fall as Current-Quarter Earnings Guidance Disappoints. Shares of Dell (NYSE: DELL) dropped significantly in premarket U.S. trading after the company released a lower-than-expected earnings forecast for the current quarter. The technology giant also indicated that increased spending on building servers to support artificial intelligence workloads would impact its full-year margins. Based in Texas, Dell projected adjusted earnings per share of $1.65, plus or minus $0.10, for the quarter ending in July. This fell short of Wall Street's expectations of $1.88, according to analysts at Evercore ISI. For its ongoing 2025 fiscal year, Dell anticipates an adjusted gross margin decline of approximately 150 basis points. During a post-earnings call, Dell executives highlighted that gross margins are being pressured by "a more competitive pricing environment and a higher AI optimized server mix." Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke remarked that the company aims to improve its margins. Evercore ISI analysts attributed the negative stock reaction to "very high expectations," while noting that they found Dell's results for the April quarter to be "fairly solid." First-quarter revenue reached $22.2 billion, a 6% increase from the same period last year, surpassing the consensus estimate of $21.65 billion. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.27, slightly above analysts' projections of $1.25, though down 3% from the previous year. Dell's Infrastructure Solutions Group, which includes its storage, software, and server offerings, performed exceptionally well, with revenue rising 22% year-on-year to $9.2 billion. This growth was driven by a record 42% increase in servers and networking revenue. Revenue for the Client Solutions personal computing business remained flat at $12.0 billion, with commercial client revenue seeing a modest 3% rise. Chief Financial Officer Yvonne McGill emphasized the company's strong execution and cash flow, highlighting AI as a key driver of new growth. AI server orders increased by about $500 million from the previous quarter to $2.6 billion, though analysts at Goldman Sachs noted that this figure "likely disappointed high investor expectations."
