Shares of tech and hardware stocks are trading higher amid an overall market rebound.

In a Friday note, JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintained an Overweight rating on Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DELL/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $150</a>.
Chatterjee hosted Dell&#8217;s Paul Frantz, VP of Investor Relations, for an investor meeting following the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b44024768/dell-technologies-delivers-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fiscal-2025-financial-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter earnings</a>.
Dell reported quarterly revenue of $23.9 billion, up 7% year over year, but missed the analyst consensus estimate of $24.6 billion.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44274133/supermicro-taps-intel-chips-to-power-real-time-ai-at-the-edge-eyes-growth-in-iot-and-healthcare" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Supermicro Taps Intel Chips To Power Real-Time AI At The Edge, Eyes Growth In IoT And Healthcare</a>
Adjusted EPS of $2.68 beat the analyst consensus estimate of $2.53.
The AI Server revenue guidance of $15 billion+ for fiscal 2026 is driven by Tier 2 CSPs, similar to the $10 billion in fiscal 2025. However, Dell noted increasing traction from the Enterprise vertical, disclosing deals with over 2,000 Enterprise customers over the past six quarters. Dell noted significant opportunities in the AI server market, which it estimates is now tracking to a TAM of $295 billion, implying the company is targeting a market share of 5%+.
Dell continues to emphasize an expanding and accelerating AI Server pipeline, which is several times larger than the company&#8217;s backlog of $4 billion at the end of the fourth quarter. Additionally, Dell noted that the recent transition from Hopper to Blackwell is expected to drive lumpiness with supply ramping.
Dell emphasized that while the AI Server business is margin-dilutive, it is accretive to gross/operating profit, earnings, and cash flow across both large and small deals.
Dell noted that despite expanding AI Server revenue from ~$2 billion in fiscal 2024 to ~$10 billion in fiscal 2025, ISG operating margins increased from 12.6% in fiscal 2024 to 12.8% in fiscal 2025. Thus, the guidance for fiscal 2026 incorporates a similar dynamic, as ISG operating margins will likely remain stable despite the outlook for AI Server revenue to expand to at least $15 billion.
The Storage forecast for low-single-digit growth in fiscal 2026 incorporates continued demand momentum for mid-range products, such as Power Store and Power Scale. This growth is partially offset by the shift to Dell IP, with Partner IP becoming a headwind and ongoing declines in high-end products, where the market is structurally declining. Nonetheless, the growth, particularly for Dell IP, is expected to impact both gross and operating margins positively.
Chatterjee is more positively inclined toward the AI-driven compute investment cycle, which should benefit branded server companies. However, the drivers for the remaining businesses are more mixed, subject to the macro backdrop.
The analyst was more confident in the sustainability of a more substantial growth rate in the ISG group, led by a stronger compute investment cycle. This sets up the company for double-digit earnings growth as it cycles past the macro pressures on PCs and General-Purpose servers.
While Dell is unlikely to be perceived as a primary beneficiary of an AI investment cycle, Chatterjee expects all server companies to benefit from selling higher-end servers with upsides in ASP and (operating) margin.
The analyst noted the upside to Dell shares stemming from attributing a higher target valuation multiple to the shares relative to their historical average because of the leverage to AI investments. A strong rebound in PCs and an uplift from adopting AI PCs can provide further upside to the analyst&#8217;s estimates.
Chatterjee projected first-quarter revenue of $23.04 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.65.
Price Action: DELL stock is up 440% at $96.56 at last check Friday.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Dell Technologies

Fresh off a series of investor meetings with Advanced Micro Devices Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su, JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur says the company is increasingly confident about delivering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lisa-su">over 20% growth in 2025</a>.
Sur&#8217;s expectations stem from a mix of AI acceleration, CPU dominance, and strategic partnerships.
These insights stem from the analyst&#8217;s discussions with AMD leadership at recent investor meetings.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI GPUs: The Next Big Thing</h2>
Su's AI ambitions are no secret, and AMD is gearing up for a breakout year in its AI GPU business. The company expects over 60% growth in AI GPUs this year alone. That&#8217;s thanks to a massive ramp in its MI350 accelerator platform. 
Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) just dropped a multi-billion-dollar order for 30,000 MI355X GPUs — an early sign of demand that AMD believes will only intensify.
With Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and other cloud giants in line to transition to the MI350 series, AMD's AI roadmap looks stronger than ever.
But the real game-changer? The MI400 platform. Coming in 2026, it aims to compete with Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Rubin-class compute, targeting massive AI clusters exceeding 100,000 GPUs.
AMD isn't just trying to keep up—it's aiming to redefine AI compute with a more flexible, scalable architecture.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CPUs: More Market Share, More Power</h2>
AI isn't AMD's only growth engine. Server CPUs remain a core strength, with Su &amp; Co. confident in crossing 50% market share in the long term. AMD closed 2024 with an estimated 37-38% share, up from 32-33% the year before, and expects another 500-600 basis points of gains this year. 
AMD&#8217;s direct-sales approach is also eating into Intel's long-standing enterprise dominance.
Next-gen AI workloads, including agentic AI (which demands more CPU compute alongside GPUs), should only accelerate this momentum. 
Meanwhile, AMD's notebook and desktop CPUs continue to gain ground. Market share has been climbing for four consecutive quarters, and a fresh partnership with Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) to integrate Ryzen AI PRO CPUs into commercial PCs could unlock a new wave of growth.
With a diversified compute portfolio spanning AI GPUs, server CPUs, gaming, and embedded markets, AMD is positioning itself for sustained growth in 2025 and beyond.

AMD Gears Up For Breakout Year In Artificial Intelligence GPUs Business: Analyst

Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), announced a productive meeting with President Donald Trump, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and other technology executives focused on enhancing government efficiency and strengthening American <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">leadership in artificial intelligence</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;Yesterday we had a productive discussion with Trump, Musk, and other tech CEOs about enhancing government efficiency and accelerating U.S. leadership in AI and technology,&#8221; Dell wrote on X. &#8220;We are proud to be a trusted AI partner for the U.S. government.&#8221;
The high-level meeting comes as Dell Technologies positions itself for significant AI-driven growth. During a recent earnings call, Dell COO Jeff Clarke projected the company&#8217;s AI server business would grow to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44035798/dell-technologies-projects-15-billion-ai-server-revenue-for-fy26-raises-dividend-18-amid-a-mixed-quarter">at least $15 billion</a> in fiscal year 2026, driven by what he described as a &#8220;robust opportunity pipeline&#8221; and Dell&#8217;s engineering and services advantages.
&#8220;This AI business drives incremental operating profit and is EPS-accretive,&#8221; Clarke stated.

Why It Matters: Dell&#8217;s meeting with Trump occurs amid increased government focus on AI development. In January, the administration announced support for Stargate, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">a $500 billion joint venture</a> between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle Corp. to build AI infrastructure across the United States.
The Stargate announcement boosted shares of NVIDIA Corp., Dell, and other AI-focused companies, as investors anticipated increased demand for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43111153/nvidia-and-ai-stock-rises-as-trump-announces-500-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-venture">AI hardware and infrastructure</a>.
Dell&#8217;s statement indicates the company intends to continue engagement with &#8220;customers and policymakers&#8221; on AI initiatives, positioning itself as a key partner in the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence sector.

Malaysian Trade Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said Tuesday the country will take &#8220;necessary action&#8221; against Malaysian companies if they&#8217;re implicated in a fraud case involving Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips allegedly routed from Singapore.
What Happened: &#8220;Right now, there&#8217;s no such cases in Malaysia to date, and we are investigating,&#8221; Zafrul <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/04/malaysia-says-itll-take-action-if-firms-involved-in-nvidia-fraud-case.html">told</a> CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box Asia,&#8221; adding that Malaysia has no information suggesting data center companies there are misusing chips.
The statement follows Singapore Law Minister K Shanmugam&#8216;s Monday comments that servers in a fraud case may have contained Nvidia AI chips sent to Malaysia.
&#8220;The question is whether Malaysia was a final destination or from Malaysia, it went to somewhere else,&#8221; Shanmugam said.

Why It Matters: On Thursday, Singapore charged three men with fraud in cases linked to the alleged movement of Nvidia chips. According to Shanmugam, the chips were embedded in servers supplied by Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) and Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) to Singapore-based companies <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/44033587/nvidia-chips-smuggled-to-china-3-men-charged-in-singapore-amid-us-export-crackdown">before transfer to Malaysia</a>.
When asked if Malaysia knew where the servers were now, Zafrul replied, &#8220;we don&#8217;t know,&#8221; adding authorities are checking if they went to the right parties.
The investigation emerges amid broader concerns about restricted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44089103/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-shares-monday">U.S. technology reaching China</a>. Reuters reported in January that the U.S. Commerce Department is investigating whether Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has been using U.S. chips prohibited from export to China, noting &#8220;organized AI chip smuggling to China has been tracked out of countries including Malaysia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.&#8221;

Nvidia Chip Fraud Probe: Malaysia Vows 'Necessary Action' But Admits 'We Don't Know' Where Servers Went

Dell Technologies shares are trading lower after Goldman Sachs cut its price target on the stock from $165 to $145.

Singapore authorities have initiated an investigation into potential fraudulent activities related to the shipment of&nbsp;Nvidia Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips. The chips, which are banned in China, were reportedly shipped to Malaysia via servers from&nbsp;Dell Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) and&nbsp;Super Micro Computer Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).
What Happened: Singapore&#8217;s Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam, provided details about the ongoing investigation following local media reports of several arrests. The arrests were connected to the suspected acquisition and export of Nvidia chips, which violated U.S. sanctions, as per a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-03/singapore-probes-potential-fraud-in-nvidia-ai-chip-shipments">Bloomberg</a> report
The parties under investigation reportedly misled server suppliers about the actual users of the hardware. The hardware was shipped from Singapore to Malaysia, and authorities are now investigating whether the servers, manufactured by Dell and SMCI, were further shipped to other countries.
"The question is whether Malaysia was a final destination or from Malaysia it went to somewhere else, which we do not know for certain at this point," said Shanmugam.
The investigation is centered on the involvement of Singapore-based entities in possibly diverting Nvidia chips to China and other countries restricted by the U.S. This investigation follows a recent U.S. inquiry into whether the Chinese AI company DeepSeek circumvented U.S. chip restrictions with assistance from third parties in Singapore.
Shanmugam did not particularly name DeepSeek and clarified that the investigation is independent of US export controls and was initiated by Singapore following an anonymous tipoff. The final destination of the servers is still being determined, with additional information requested&nbsp;from the U.S. and Malaysia.

Why It Matters: This investigation comes on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/44033587/nvidia-chips-smuggled-to-china-3-men-charged-in-singapore-amid-us-export-crackdown">recent incident </a>where three men were charged with fraud in Singapore for allegedly smuggling Nvidia chips to China, bypassing U.S. export controls. The men were among nine people arrested when Singapore authorities raided 22 locations. The cases involved chips allegedly destined for Chinese AI firm DeepSeek, as reported by local media CNA, citing sources. Furthermore, according to a previous Reuters report, Chinese universities and research institutes acquired Nvidia&#8217;s advanced AI chips through server products manufactured by Dell, Super Micro, and Taiwan&#8217;s Gigabyte Technology.
However, DeepSeek has denied the reports previously and acknowledged using Nvidia&#8217;s H800 chips, which it was legally permitted to purchase in 2023, and also revealed a supercomputing AI cluster powered by Nvidia A100 chips.
Meanwhile, the United States is already conducting a probe into whether DeepSeek has been using U.S. chips that are restricted from being shipped to China. The Trump administration is also evaluating plans to impose maximum limits on AI computing power exports to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, regions that U.S. officials believe are more susceptible to Chinese influence.
