Non-GAAP diluted EPS came in at $2.32, edging past the $2.29 consensus by 1.13%, while revenue surged 19% year over year to $29.78 billion against an expected $29.19 billion. The single biggest force behind the quarter was an explosive 69% jump in Servers and Networking revenue to a record $12.94 billion, with Dell shipping $10.00 billion in AI solutions through just the first half of FY26, more than it shipped in all of FY25. Those numbers heading into earnings raised the stakes considerably, and Dell largely delivered. The trade-off, however, is visible in gross margins, which compressed to 18.3% from 21.4% a year ago, reflecting the lower-margin nature of AI server hardware. Looking ahead, Dell raised its full-year AI server shipment guidance to $20.00 billion and set FY26 revenue guidance at $105.00 billion to $109.00 billion, with non-GAAP EPS of $9.55 at the midpoint.
Key Takeaways
- • Record Servers and Networking revenue driven by AI server demand, up 69% YoY
- • $10 billion of AI solutions shipped in the first half of FY26, surpassing all FY25 AI shipments
- • Product revenue grew 26% YoY to $23.9 billion
- • Cash flow from operations nearly doubled, up 90% YoY
- • Free cash flow surged 165% YoY to $1.87 billion
