Dell Technologies vice chairman and chief operating officer Jeff Clarke said: “AI momentum is accelerating in the second half of the year, leading to record AI server orders of $12.3bn and an unprecedented $30bn in orders year to date.

“Our five-quarter pipeline is multiples of our $18.4bn backlog with a mix of neocloud, sovereign and enterprise customers.

“Dell is winning in AI because of our unique ability to engineer bespoke high-performance solutions, rapidly deploy large, complex clusters, and provide global support.”

Looking forward, Dell forecasts full-year fiscal 2026 revenue between $111.2bn and $112.2bn, up 17% at the midpoint versus last year.

For the fourth quarter of FY26, expected revenue is set between $31bn and $32bn with midpoint growth of 32%. Projected GAAP diluted EPS is $3.05 and non-GAAP diluted EPS is $3.50 at their respective midpoints.

Dell Technologies chief financial officer David Kennedy said: “In the third quarter we delivered record Q3 revenue of $27bn, record Q3 profitability, strong cash generation and above-trend capital return of $1.6bn.
