Price/Sales (F12M) Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Here's Why You Should Hold DELL Stock for Now Despite DELL's robust portfolio and expanding partner base the broader PC market recovery is slower than expected, with customers delaying purchases to evaluate AI-enabled PCs and prepare for the Windows 10 end-of-life. A competitive pricing environment, especially in the CSG segment, has affected profitability. Cautious spending by enterprises and large customers on PCs and storage IT has been a concern for DELL's investors. Increasing competition in the AI data center market, along with a higher mix of AI-optimized servers, is expected to hurt gross margin expansion in the near term. Additionally, investor sentiment has also soured amid rising trade tension, with additional tariffs raising fears of escalating costs. DELL currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggesting that it may be wise to wait for a more favorable entry point in the stock.
