Dell Technologies was upgraded to BBB+ from BBB by S&P. The rating agency noted that Dell’s Q1 performance was strong, driven by broad-based demand across AI, traditional infrastructure, and client devices. Demand materially exceeded because of constraints in memory and CPUs. Its AI server revenue grew 8.5x to over $16bn. Revenue from traditional servers and networking grew 92%. Besides, the rating action also reflected Dell’s strengthened market position and financial metrics. Dell is said to have a good cushion to S&P’s 2x downgrade threshold. It added that leverage finished at 0.7x at the end of fiscal 2026, and is expected to fall to 0.2x by the end of the year, with reported free cash flow in the $8bn area. S&P projects that Dell will sustain its adjusted total debt-to-EBITDA leverage well within investment-grade thresholds, leveraging its solid liquidity profile.
Dell’s bonds traded stable with its 4.35% 2030s at 99.88, yielding 4.38%.
