Dell Technologies Stock Plummets -14% With 7-Day Losing Streak
Dell Technologies (DELL) stock hit day 7 of a continuous streak of days with losses, with cumulative losses over this period amounting to a -14% return. The company has lost about $16 Bil in value over the last 7 days, with its current market capitalization at about $94 Bil. The stock remains 22.6% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 16.4% for the S&P 500.
Dell Technologies’ recent streak reflects a clash of narratives. Despite booming AI server demand, underscored by a $5.8 billion IREN deal, investor apprehension over persistent PC market softness and looming Q3 earnings likely fueled profit-taking, paring some of its impressive ~40% YTD gains. For quick background: DELL provides infrastructure solutions, client devices, and software, supporting hybrid cloud, modern applications, networking, security, and digital workspaces through its multiple business segments.
What is the point? Sustained weakness can be more than noise. It often signals shifting sentiment or deeper concerns. A multi-day losing streak may warn of further downside, or present an opportunity to buy if fundamentals are intact. Our take: There is a near-equal mix of good and bad in DELL stock given its overall Moderate operating performance and financial condition. This is aligned with the stock’s Moderate valuation because of which we think it is Fairly Priced. Deep dive with Buy or Sell DELL.
