Dell stock soars on earnings beat as company navigates memory shortage

Dell shares soared 19% on Friday after the company beat fourth-quarter estimates and issued strong guidance, as a historic memory shortage puts pressure on prices in the sector.

Dell reported adjusted earnings of $3.89 per share, exceeding the $3.53 per share expected by analysts surveyed by LSEG. The company reported $33.38 billion in revenue for the quarter, topping a forecast of $31.73 billion.

The company estimates fiscal 2027 revenue will come in between $138 billion and $142 billion, blowing away the $124.7 billion expected by Factset.

Dell expects revenue for its AI servers to hit $50 billion in 2027, over double the year prior.
