On May 29, Dell Technologies surged 39.03% overnight, trading at $441.21/share. The rally was triggered by the company's fiscal Q1 2027 earnings report, which delivered a blowout performance far exceeding Wall Street expectations across all key metrics.
Dell reported quarterly revenue of $43.84 billion, up 88% year-over-year and well above the analyst consensus of $35.74 billion — marking the fastest single-quarter revenue growth since its 2018 re-listing. Adjusted EPS came in at $4.86, crushing the $2.94 estimate by over 65%. Net income surged 256% to $3.44 billion. The core growth engine was AI infrastructure: AI-optimized server revenue reached $16.1 billion, up 757% year-over-year, with AI orders totaling $24.4 billion and backlog hitting a record $51.3 billion.
Dell simultaneously raised full-year guidance substantially, lifting revenue outlook to $165B–$169B from $138B–$142B, and boosting AI server annual revenue expectations to approximately $60 billion from $50 billion. Q2 revenue guidance of $44B–$45B also dwarfed the $35.1B consensus. Management noted sales pipeline growth exceeding historical levels and improving margin prospects excluding AI mix effects.
