MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Dell Technologies
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Dell Technologies Inc.:

  • Dell Technologies Inc. recently reported a significant earnings beat, posting $7.04 in earnings per share for the quarter compared to the consensus estimate of $4.91, which demonstrates strong profitability and execution capability that often drives stock price appreciation.
  • The company has established itself as a major vendor of Nvidia-based servers, benefiting from the artificial intelligence infrastructure boom, with revenue for the most recent quarter reaching $46.97 billion, a 57.7% increase year-over-year, indicating robust demand for its AI-optimized hardware solutions.
  • Wall Street analysts have recently raised their price targets, with Barclays increasing its target to $603.00 and Piper Sandler to $558.00, reflecting a consensus "Moderate Buy" rating and suggesting that institutional investors believe the current valuation of $575.88 leaves room for further growth.
  • Dell Technologies Inc. has provided aggressive forward guidance, projecting full-year 2027 earnings per share of $25.50, which is significantly higher than the previous consensus estimate of $18.72, signaling management confidence in sustained revenue growth and margin expansion.
  • The stock has demonstrated strong momentum, trading near its 52-week high of $595.51 and significantly outperforming the S&P 500 over the last six months, which can attract momentum-based investors and indicate strong market sentiment toward the company's AI-driven business model.

Dell Technologies
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Dell Technologies Inc. for these reasons:

  • Insiders have been actively selling shares, with directors such as Silver Lake Partners and Spv-2 L.P. Sl selling hundreds of thousands of shares in recent months, which can signal a lack of confidence from those with the most knowledge of the company's internal operations.
  • The company's stock price of $575.88 is currently above the average analyst consensus price target of $571.12, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued relative to what most sell-side analysts believe it is worth, potentially limiting near-term upside.
  • Dell Technologies Inc. has a high beta of 1.37, meaning its stock price is more volatile than the overall market, which can lead to larger price swings and higher risk for investors who are sensitive to market fluctuations.
  • The company's negative return on equity of 578.85% in the most recent quarter indicates significant financial leverage or accounting complexities that may concern value-oriented investors, as it suggests the company is using substantial debt or has complex capital structures that affect shareholder returns.
  • Short interest has remained relatively high, with over 12 million shares shorted as of the latest report, indicating that a significant portion of the market is betting against the stock, which can create downward pressure on the price if the short sellers are correct in their bearish outlook.
