Dell just crushed earnings thanks to booming AI server demand, sending its stock up 30%. Palantir, which runs AI Factory projects with Dell, jumped 10% as investors realized the partnership is delivering real results — and software stocks broadly are having their best month since 2001.

## Idea

Dell's blowout quarter proves AI infrastructure spending is accelerating faster than anyone expected — servers, data centers, the works. Palantir runs its AI Factory initiative hand-in-glove with Dell, so when Dell posts record AI server sales, it validates Palantir's go-to-market strategy too. The entire software sector is catching a bid right now, with stocks notching their best month in over two decades as fears about AI killing software companies completely fade. Palantir jumped 10% in a single day on the Dell news, and analysts are still raising targets across the AI supply chain — the momentum hasn't fully played out yet.
