Adjusted EPS of $7.04 similarly reflected huge growth, up more than 200% from the same period last year and crushing the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate by 40%.
Infrastructure Solutions Group results were robust, with total segment sales climbing 89% YoY to $31.8 billion. Breaking down the segment further, AI-Optimized Servers revenue, Traditional Servers and Networking revenue, and Storage revenue all reflected records, with the segment’s operating income similarly climbing by a triple-digit 225% YoY to a record $4.8 billion.
Importantly, the demand picture remains red-hot for its AI Server business, with Dell booking a record $60.9 billion of AI server orders during the quarter and exiting with a $95 billion backlog. The backlog and record bookings provide strong top line visibility, undoubtedly what AI-focused investors wanted to see.
Keep in mind that Dell Technologies was already a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) heading into the release, with its near-term EPS revisions remaining on an upward trajectory in recent months. The earnings revisions picture will shift more bullishly in the coming days to reflect its raised FY27 EPS guidance, providing a solid near-term momentum setup.
