Dell just reported its fastest revenue growth since going public again in 2018, powered by a staggering 757% jump in AI server sales. The stock had its best day ever, and Wall Street analysts are scrambling to raise their price targets.

## Idea

Dell's AI server revenue exploded 757% year-over-year, proving the company is winning massive contracts to build the physical backbone of AI data centers. This isn't a one-quarter blip — management raised its full-year sales outlook well beyond what analysts expected, and multiple firms immediately bumped their price targets higher. Palantir also jumped 10% on the news because it runs its AI Factory platform on Dell hardware, confirming the partnership is generating real revenue for both sides. When a stock surges this much on fundamentally justified earnings and analysts are still raising targets, the momentum often continues for weeks as portfolio managers who missed the initial move scramble to build positions.
