Dell Technologies shares show 16% upside potential as AI-optimized server demand drives a massive $95 billion backlog and robust earnings growth, outpacing enterprise infrastructure competitors.
Dell's AI server revenue doubled, EPS beat consensus by 43.69%, full-year guidance was raised, and a $95 billion AI backlog supports a BUY target.
HPE is cited as a peer whose 32.72% revenue growth and 16%-20% EPS growth framework trail Dell's stronger AI-driven growth.
Supermicro is mentioned as a low-P/E AI server peer but with negative $6.81 billion FY26 operating cash flow and volatile gross margins.
Dell Technologies continues to dominate the AI infrastructure market, reporting a record $95 billion backlog and a 122% surge in server revenue. With a raised full-year EPS guidance of $25.50, analysts maintain a BUY rating and a $631 price target, citing the company's superior growth profile compared to peers like HPE and Supermicro.
The primary catalyst is the massive demand for AI-optimized servers, which has resulted in a $95 billion backlog and a 57.75% increase in quarterly revenue.
Dell is outperforming HPE in server growth (122% vs 35%) and maintains a more stable financial profile than Supermicro, which has faced negative operating cash flow.
