Let's see how things have shaped up for Dell before this announcement.
Factors to Watch
Although the pandemic and the global chip shortage are leading to unpredictability in the technology sector, Dell Technologies is expected to have witnessed a strong consumer demand for notebooks, laptops and personal computers.
Per Gartner, worldwide PC shipments in third-quarter 2021 witnessed a year-over-year increase of 3.9%, reaching 86.7 million units. Dell was ranked third, according to IDC, among all PC vendors in its latest third-quarter report.
With the increasing availability of COVID-19 vaccines, educational and consumer spending has shifted from the category of PCs to other priorities.
As educational institutions are reopening, the immediate need for laptops and PCs in this category has declined. Owing to the economic recovery in some regions and workers’ return to offices, the business PC demand remains strong.
Dell expects operating income to increase 1-2% sequentially on an absolute-dollar basis.
Q3 Highlights
In October, Dell Technologies introduced its new telecom software services and solutions. These solutions are expected to help communications service providers to accelerate their open, cloud-native network deployments and create revenue opportunities.
