Dell Technologies Projects Strong FY26 Growth With AI Server Demand

Dell Technologies has announced its fiscal year 2026 outlook, predicting significant revenue and profit gains. For the full year, the company expects to generate revenue between $101.0 billion and $105.0 billion, which is an 8% increase compared to last year if it hits the midpoint of $103.0 billion. Dell's earnings per share are anticipated to rise by 23% to $7.85, with adjusted earnings per share forecasted to climb 14% to $9.30, according to a report from Nasdaq.

Looking at the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Dell is forecasting revenue to be in the range of $22.5 billion to $23.5 billion, representing a 3% rise from the previous year at the midpoint of $23.0 billion. However, earnings per share are expected to dip by 6% to $1.29, while adjusted earnings per share are projected to surge by 25% to $1.65. This suggests that while certain costs may impact immediate profitability, underlying performance is improving.

Dell's growth strategy is largely driven by increasing demand for its AI-optimized servers, which are powered by Nvidia's chips and essential for training large language models such as ChatGPT. Reuters highlighted that the backlog for these AI servers is approximately $9 billion. This demand, coupled with cost reduction measures, is set to enable Dell to exceed Wall Street's profit expectations. Additionally, Dell is rewarding its shareholders with an 18% increase in its annual cash dividend, signaling confidence in its future performance.

HP Inc. Slashes Profit Forecast Amid Tariff Challenges

3 minutes agoHPQ

HP Inc. has announced a significant reduction in its fiscal 2025 profit forecast, anticipating adjusted annual earnings between $3.00 and $3.30 per share. This is a drop from the previously estimated range of $3.45 to $3.75 per share. The adjustment reflects expected slowdowns in the PC market and ongoing global economic volatility, including inflationary pressures stemming from U.S. tariffs, as reported by Reuters. Following this announcement, HP's stock took a hit, with shares falling 14% in after-hours trading, underlining investor apprehensions about the company's revised financial outlook. The Personal Systems segment, which encompasses PCs, has been particularly impacted by increased costs due to tariffs, alongside mitigation investments made to shift production to countries like Vietnam, Thailand, India, Mexico, and the U.S. Despite these efforts, the second quarter did not meet expectations. In terms of its financial performance, HP reported Q2 revenue of $13.22 billion, which slightly exceeded estimates; however, earnings per share were 71 cents, falling short of the anticipated 80 cents. While the Personal Systems segment experienced a 7% year-over-year sales increase, the Printing segment saw a 4% decline. For Q3, HP projects earnings per share in the range of 68 to 80 cents, still below the consensus of 90 cents, signaling continued challenges in the face of tariff-related pressures.

Apple Stock Faces Downgrades Amid Weak iPhone Sales in China

33 minutes agoAAPL

Apple is grappling with challenging market conditions, evidenced by recent analyst downgrades. The tech giant has seen a significant decline in iPhone shipments, particularly in China, where sales dropped about 18.2% year-over-year in the December quarter. This downturn has raised concerns about the company's market performance and its ability to meet future earnings expectations. Supporting these market anxieties, investment firms have not been shy to act. Notably, Jefferies has downgraded Apple from 'Hold' to 'Underperform,' setting a revised price target at $200.75, as cited by Gurufocus. Similarly, Loop Capital has adjusted its rating to 'Hold' from 'Buy,' driven by fears of reduced iPhone demand in the coming months. These pessimistic views come amid growing worries about Apple's slower adoption of AI features, which could negatively impact future generation products. Adding to the pressure, Apple's stock performance has seen better days. It recently closed at $221.11, culminating in an 11% decline through January 2025, marking Apple's steepest monthly drop since the end of 2022. With these factors at play, investors are advised to closely watch Apple's market adaptations and strategic responses.

48 minutes agoRCL

Royal Caribbean has not announced any plans for a $250 million investment to upgrade its Solstice-class ships, as of May 29, 2025. The Solstice-class ships, which belong to Celebrity Cruises, were initially launched by the company between 2008 and 2012. In a separate development, Royal Caribbean Group signed an agreement in January 2025 with shipbuilder Chantiers de l'Atlantique to construct a sixth Edge Series ship. This new vessel is expected to be delivered in 2028. Reuters reported that this move is part of Royal Caribbean's broader strategy to enhance its premium cruise offerings, showcasing its commitment to modernizing and expanding its fleet. Despite ongoing investments in new ships and fleet modernization, there has been no confirmation of a targeted financial commitment for upgrading the Solstice-class ships. Royal Caribbean continues to focus on innovative new constructions rather than revamping its older vessels at this time.
