- Record AI server backlog of $18.4B, with a significant mix shift towards GB300. Q4 AI server shipment guidance of $9.4B implies strong momentum.
- Raised Q4 FY26 revenue guidance to $31-32B and EPS to $3.40-3.60, citing continued AI strength and improved profitability in storage.
- Management openly discussed an unprecedented memory (DRAM/NAND) and component cost environment, but expects to recover more than the typical cost increases through direct-model pricing actions.

Оценка менеджмента
Upbeat
Management struck an upbeat tone, repeatedly citing record AI orders, record revenue and EPS, and greater-than-expected AI shipment guidance while framing commodity cost pressure as manageable.
Оценка AI от менеджмента
Management described AI demand as exceptional and accelerating, with record orders and backlog and a five-quarter pipeline that remains a multiple of backlog. They attribute Dell's edge to bespoke engineering, rapid large-scale deployment, and global support, and expect AI server profitability to remain in the mid-single-digit operating margin range.

AI server demand is expanding beyond the largest CSPs. Dell's five-quarter pipeline is growing across NeoClouds, Sovereigns, and Enterprises, suggesting a broadening customer base for AI infrastructure. — The broadening deployment of AI factories across diverse buyers validates the scale of the AI infrastructure build-out, potentially benefiting networking and power/thermal suppliers who serve these markets.
Доказательства
“Our five-quarter pipeline continued to grow sequentially across NeoCloud, Sovereigns, and Enterprises, and remains multiples of our backlog, even when accounting for the robust demand we've seen.”
The backlog for AI servers is shifting significantly toward the GB300 platform, indicating a rapid next-generation platform transition. — Confirms the expected product lifecycle of NVIDIA's AI accelerators, with demand already moving to the next platform, which is a positive signal for NVIDIA's roadmap execution and pricing power.
Доказательства
“So in our backlog of $18.4 billion, there's been a significant shift towards GB300 as expected.”

Memory and other component cost inflation is unprecedented, with demand far ahead of supply, affecting all product categories, but Dell expects to recover more than the typical two-thirds of cost increases within 90 days.
Доказательства
“I'd categorize it as demand is way ahead of supply. We've not seen costs move at the rate that we've seen. And by the way, it's not unique to DRAM. It's NAND.”
