Dell tumbles 11% as Barclays downgrade questions enterprise AI demand

-11.27% to $507.93 from $572.47

Shares plunged about 11%, leading a broader sell-off in data-center equipment names.
Barclays cut its rating on Dell to Equal Weight from Overweight and lowered its price target to $574 from $603.
The Barclays analyst argued that Dell’s strong enterprise revenue reflects higher memory component costs more than genuine enterprise AI adoption, and said the size of the company’s earnings beats should shrink going forward.
The decline was also framed as a valuation reset after the stock’s sharp rally this year, with additional pressure from concerns about component costs and heavy insider selling.
