Briefing.com Analyst Insight:
DELL’s upgraded long-term model positions it squarely at the center of the AI infrastructure boom. The company’s decision to double its growth targets is striking, reflecting both secular tailwinds in compute and storage and its confidence in sustaining operational leverage. The reaffirmation of near-term guidance adds credibility to this bullish narrative, suggesting underlying momentum is already materializing. With a massive and expanding TAM in AI hardware and services, DELL’s end-to-end infrastructure strategy and leadership in enterprise storage give it a compelling runway for durable earnings growth, making it one of the more assertive and well-positioned large-cap tech stories heading into 2026.
