Executive summary

Its client solutions group covers desktops, laptops and monitors, while its infrastructure group supplies data centre hardware, including systems designed for artificial intelligence workloads. It earns money from hardware sales, support contracts and financing, and sells directly and through partners.

Over the latest twelve months the company reported revenue of $151.2 billion, with growth of 3.5% a year across three years. It reports an operating margin of 9.4%, with return on invested capital of 53%. Leverage, measured as net debt to EBITDA, is 1.4 times. A dividend is paid, with a yield of 0.5%.

StocksXray gives Dell Technologies Inc. an X-Ray Score of 51 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 51% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is growth (73) and its weakest is financial health (29).

Our fair value blend is $318.02 (range $303.24 to $331.52). At $451.71 the stock trades 42% above that blend, so the label is "Overvalued" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
