Dell Technologies reported Q2 FY2027 results and increased its annual revenue guidance by $25 billion, citing strong server sales tied to AI infrastructure orders. The company's stock rose following the announcement. Available reporting is limited to two left-center sources and does not include right-of-center or additional independent verification.
