Dell Technologies (DELL) ripped higher on Friday as a series of analyst upgrades and price target hikes fuelled intense buying momentum ahead of the firm\u2019s Q1 earnings set to be released on May 28th<\/sup>.   <\/p>\n

Wall Street remains convinced that DELL will report blockbuster financials for the first quarter, with revenue coming in up nearly 52% year-on-year on a much higher bottom-line growth to $2.94 per share.<\/p>\n

Investors are cheering the bullish reports, particularly because Dell stock is already up about 130%<\/a> versus the start of this year (2026).<\/p>\n

Why are analysts bullish on Dell stock<\/h2>\n

In a research note this morning, Citi analysts raised their price objective on DELL shares to $290, highlighting the company\u2019s dominant positioning in \u201cneocloud\u201d deployments and \u201csovereign AI\u201d infrastructure demand.<\/p>\n

Their peers at JPMorgan also issued a positive note on Friday \u2013 reassuring investors that memory component cost inflation is \u201cmanageable\u201d and the runway for enterprise AI server growth remains clear.<\/p>\n

Mizuho also lifted its estimate for Dell Technologies today to a whopping $300, saying institutional investors are far more focused on the firm\u2019s impressive $43 billion AI server backlog than they are on near-term margin contraction.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, DELL pays a dividend yield of 0.85%, which makes it even more attractive to own for long-term investors.<\/p>\n

What else is driving DELL shares higher today<\/h2>\n

Adding fuel to the rally in Dell shares is the ripple effect from global PC and server rival Lenovo\u2019s remarkable Q1 earnings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company doubled its net income to $559 million as revenue exploded by an exciting 27% year-over-year to $21.6 billion, driven heavily by an 84% increase in AI-related sales.<\/p>\n

Lenovo\u2019s data provided definitive, real-world confirmation to Wall Street analysts that the broader commercial PC refresh cycle is turning the corner and that global corporate spending on hybrid AI infrastructure is steepening rapidly.<\/p>\n

Because Dell maintains a dominant footprint in both enterprise client solutions and specialized AI server architecture, traders are treating Lenovo\u2019s blowout numbers as a leading indicator, signaling a mirrored \u201cbeat and raise\u201d report next week.<\/p>\n

Where options data suggests DELL is headed<\/h2>\n

Heading into the quarterly print, options traders are bullish on DELL stock as well.<\/p>\n

The put-to-call ratio on contracts expiring May 29th<\/sup> sits at 0.5 currently, indicating a bullish skew, with the upper price at $323 signaling potential for about a 10% post-earnings rally.<\/p>\n

Even from a technical perspective, Dell Technologies looks poised for continued momentum ahead<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the AI stock sits decisively above its major moving averages (MAs) \u2013 with an RSI in mid-70s indicating intense buying pressure.<\/p>\n

Put it together with Wall Street\u2019s consensus \u201cmoderate buy\u201d rating, and Dell immediately starts to look attractive for a long-term position at current levels.<\/p>\n
