“Our strong AI-optimized server momentum continues, with orders increasing nearly 40% sequentially and backlog nearly doubling, exiting our fiscal year at $2.9 billion,” said Jeff Clarke, COO of Dell Technologies.

Quarterly sales reached $22.3 billion, outperforming the analyst consensus estimate of $22.16 billion. Dell showcased a surging demand for its AI servers, with servers and networking revenue hitting $4.9 billion. The boost in sequential growth primarily stemmed from AI-optimized servers.
Following the Q4 results, Dell’s stock continued on an upward trajectory, with Cramer’s commendations fueling positivity. Dell’s collaboration with Subaru Corporation to enhance driver safety using AI and high-performance storage has also contributed to its recent success.
