On August 24, Dell Technologies Inc. fell 3.55% in regular trading, trading at $427.2/share, with turnover of $318 million. The decline came amid a broad selloff across the Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals sector.
The hardware and storage sector experienced widespread weakness, with SanDisk down 11.11%, Seagate Technology down 7.96%, Super Micro Computer down 7.66%, and Western Digital down 7.6%. Dell's decline was relatively moderate compared to sector peers. The stock had previously surged past $500 to an all-time high in mid-August, driven by strong earnings from Lenovo and Super Micro Computer that validated AI server demand strength. Short-term profit-taking pressure following the rally, combined with sector-wide capital outflows, constituted the primary downside force.
On the same day, Morgan Stanley made a marginal adjustment to its Dell price target to $434 from $430, maintaining an Equalweight rating, while the consensus analyst mean price target stands at $514.67 with an overweight average rating.
