$DELL "Dell Technologies (DELL) is up following a series of bullish analyst updates, most notably from Goldman Sachs, which recently raised its price target to
$215. The stock is trading near all-time highs as investors pivot toward hardware giants capable of scaling the massive data centers required for generative AI. The primary driver for the current rally is Dell's Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG), which has transitioned from a traditional server business into an "AI infrastructure powerhouse". While the outlook is overwhelmingly positive, analysts have noted a few "growth pains" that could limit further upside in the short term. High-growth AI servers have lower margins than traditional software or storage, causing gross margins to dip from 24% to 20% recently. Rising costs for DRAM and NAND memory chips are pressuring profitability across the hardware sector. After a 116% surge over the past year, some analysts suggests the current price may already reflect the "AI fever".
