It had raised its expectation for AI server shipments in August to $20 billion for fiscal 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">&#8220;Customers are hungry for AI and the compute, storage and networking we provide to deploy intelligence at scale,&#8221; CEO Michael Dell said, adding that the company was in the early stages of AI adoption despite two years of progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Dell expects long-term compounded annual revenue growth of 11% to 14% for the infrastructure solutions group &#8211; home to its storage, software and server offerings. That compares with its earlier expectations of 6% to 8%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The company continues to expect revenue growth of 2% to 3% for its client solutions group, which includes personal computers. Strong competition in the consumer market has hit the business in recent years, even as Dell keeps a strong position among enterprise clients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The company is expected to benefit from a PC refresh cycle after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/organizations\/microsoft\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:Microsoft;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft<\/a> ends support for Windows 10 next week, as users and companies seek to maintain security and access to the latest features.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">(Reporting by Jaspreet Singh in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Reuters) -Dell on Tuesday nearly doubled its annual profit growth target for the next four years, betting on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,3002,18,1647,67017,19,17,67020,67019,14609,67018,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-106963","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-dell","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-elon-musk","14":"tag-growth-target","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-michael-dell","18":"tag-profit-growth","19":"tag-revenue-growth","20":"tag-robust-demand","21":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
