Dell designs and sells servers, storage, PCs, and cloud software to enterprises and consumers—think of it as the plumbing that runs corporate IT infrastructure.
Revenue USD 113.54B (FY2026) split across servers/storage (ISG), PCs (CSG), and VMware software. Gross margin 20%, net margin 5.23%—thin but recurring from enterprise contracts and support services.
Dell's scale in enterprise hardware and VMware's installed base in hybrid-cloud management create switching costs, but margins are eroding as cloud giants (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) build competing infrastructure and commoditize servers.
