Simply Wall St · 5d ago

Dell Technologies (DELL) has drawn fresh attention after recent share price weakness, with the stock down about 11% over the past month and 25% over the past 3 months from its last close near $123.93.

See our latest analysis for Dell Technologies.

Set against this recent weakness, Dell Technologies’ 1 year total shareholder return of 4.05% and very large 3 and 5 year total shareholder returns show longer term holders have still seen substantial value creation. At the same time, shorter term share price momentum has clearly faded as the stock consolidates near $123.93.

If Dell’s recent pullback has you comparing options in the sector, it could be a good moment to scan high growth tech and AI stocks for other tech names that fit your criteria.

So with Dell’s shares weaker in recent months, but backed by multi year total returns, solid revenue and net income growth, and a value score of 6, is this pullback a buying opportunity, or is the market already pricing in future growth?
