Where Will Dell Technologies Be in 3 Years?

Dell Technologies stock has surged nearly 8x over three years, significantly outpacing the Nasdaq. The company benefits from two growth drivers: its Client Solutions Group (CSG) achieving 20% YoY revenue growth despite a declining PC market, and its Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) capitalizing on the AI data center boom with a $95 billion AI server backlog.
