Dell Technologies reported a solid Q3 FY2025 despite a complex demand backdrop. Revenue rose 9.2% YoY to $24.366B, with GAAP net income of $1.132B and GAAP diluted EPS of $1.58 (reporting basis). Management highlighted AI as a primary growth driver, notably in Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) and Client Solutions Group (CSG), with AI server momentum contributing to a five-quarter backlog expansion of more than 50% sequentially and over 2,000 enterprise customers since launch. Combined ISG and CSG revenue grew 13% YoY, underscoring a broad-based AI-enabled data-center rebound even as traditional PC demand remained challenged in Consumer and some CSG segments. Gross margin stood at 22.3% (down 140 bp YoY) primarily due to AI server mix and pricing competition in CSG, while operating expenses declined 2%, supporting operating income growth to $1.668B (6.85% operating margin). Management also reiterated that the company is investing to extend AI leadership (GB200 NVL72, XE9712, NVL-4 with advanced cooling, and IR5000/ORv3 innovations) and that the AI opportunity remains robust but non-linear. Q4 guidance points to a continued AI-positive trajectory with revenue of $24â$25B and non-GAAP EPS of $2.50 Âą $0.10, signaling disciplined balance between growth and profitability. A formal FY2026 view will be provided in Q4, but management cited multiple tailwinds: stronger AI demand, aging PC/server install bases primed for refresh, and continued cost efficiencies alongside strategic investments. Risks include a slower PC refresh cycle than anticipated, supply-chain dynamics for AI platforms, potential tariff impacts, and a non-linear AI investment cycle.Overall, Dell remains well-positioned to monetize AI workloads through an integrated hardware-software-services stack, supported by a strong cash position and a durable long-term cash flow profile.
