Dell Technologies is scheduled to release its second-quarter fiscal results Tuesday after market close, with analysts forecasting earnings per share of $4.93 and revenue of $44.48 billion, representing more than 49% annual growth. Earnings estimates have been raised 21 times in the past three months, with no downward revisions; revenue forecasts have received 19 upward adjustments and no cuts. Dell shares trade at $456.25, compared with a consensus analyst target of $510.26. The stock has climbed more than 270% year to date, far exceeding the S&P 500’s approximately 13% advance. Dell has beaten earnings forecasts in 88% of quarters and revenue estimates in 63% of quarters over the past two years. In the previous quarter, revenue rose 87.5% year over year to $43.84 billion, exceeding expectations along with profit and forward guidance. J.P. Morgan’s Joseph Cardoso expects Dell to raise its full-year FY27 revenue guidance again, building on an outlook for 47% expansion. Wells Fargo’s Aaron Rakers cited demand for server CPUs driven by agentic AI applications, Dell’s ability to pass higher component costs to customers and a 14th-generation installed-base refresh cycle as potential supports for server growth and future guidance. AI infrastructure and data-center expansion have strengthened demand for Dell’s server and storage products. However, Seeking Alpha’s Quant ratings and analyst community rate the stock Hold, while Wall Street analysts maintain a Buy view. Oakoff Investments said much of the expected fundamental growth may already be reflected in the share price, arguing that a likely Q2 2027 earnings beat would not necessarily produce another advance. The broader hardware and infrastructure group has gained about 1.8% over the past month, while Dell has risen 6.3%. HP recently reported 12.5% revenue growth and beat estimates by 7.5%, but its shares fell 3.5%; Everpure posted 37.7% growth and beat projections by 7.7%, yet its stock sold off 10% after earnings. Dell’s Q2 results are due Tuesday after the closing bell.
