lot of implications to Dell’s upstream suppliers that markets might not have priced in yet. Dell didn’t just beat, they’re now physically capped by components while demand keeps exploding. Exec quotes are blunt: H2 is supply constrained, not demand. The hierarchy they laid out is the map: Memory (DRAM/NAND/HBM) is #1 and tightening daily. AI servers eat multiples more per box, prices are moving fast, 2026-27 capacity is already locked. Straight lift for $MU and the big memory names. Microprocessors next – $AMD is the clear winner here; Dell is pushing their latest EPYC hard in the new liquid-cooled racks. Then hard drives: lead times hitting a full year, nearline storage basically allocated through 2027. $STX and $WDC are in allocation mode with fat incremental margins. That’s why the spillovers hit peers ($SMCI, HPE get the overflow orders), cooling/power ($VRT because air cooling is dead at these densities), and the whole chain stays tight. Not a one-quarter story. Multi-year locked deals + real physics bottlenecks.
