Dell Computers (DELL-N)

They had a disappointing quarter after a weak first half, but he expects a better second half. Be patient with this. There's little downside and more upside. But other stocks are better, like Nvidia.

He owns both.

Took a bit of profit on DELL. Still holds about a 3-3.5% position in ORCL. If he had to choose, he'd say ORCL (at $189 now), for which his 12-month price target is $207.50.

Just bought it. Will benefit from SMCI's woes. Also, in AI, hardware cannot keep up with demand. She bought last week at $130 and sold January $145 calls and got over $7 in call premiums. It's a good trade for the next few months.

Is up 9% today. GOOG and AMD tell us that data centre demand is strong. Shares are well off their highs and are seeing momentum that will continue.

Believes in the CEO, who is collaborating with Nvidia. Dell is being obscured by AI names. 

After falling from $179 to $111, its risk/reward is now positive.

MU focuses mainly on memory chips, massive demand. Stock's sold off. Dell has actually started to build AI right into the computer, creating a bit of excitement.

Instead, he'd recommend AVGO. Or, if you really want to take some risk, QCOM.

It did very well in 2020 when strong demand with big profits in 2021, but a lot of giveback after that. It's a good company, but he doesn't find their hardware segment attractive.

Had a great quarter, but is down 45% from its high, though still up 28% for the year. This is prone to profit-taking who will sell on any bad news, like today.

He just bought Dell recently, and will add more if shares fall. In fact, it was a gift that shares fell after earnings. Sure, there are profitability concerns, but the bigger story is their 30% backlog. They will continue to grow. They will be at the centre of AI hardware.

It's had a huge run and the stock got ahead of him. Not only will the iPhone have a new refresh cycle, but also Dell. He will buy it.

Generative AI came along, and the hyperscalers need the servers and blades. Stock sold off because the whisper numbers were so high, earnings couldn't meet expectations.

It's a major enabler of AI chips and now trades at attractive levels.

Entering the S&P index will be positive for them. It's always been well-managed. There's excitement in Dell now because the impact they're making in data centres, and there is a major PC/laptop upgrade cycle coming.

It had a big run up then fell 20% after reporting last week. Dell will benefit from AI. They make good products and services. You can make money in this long term, maybe not short.
