Dell Technologies is trading 10.57% lower at €413.10 after Barclays downgraded it to Equal Weight from Overweight, citing valuation concerns and a lack of meaningful enterprise AI spending acceleration.
- Barclays said recent enterprise revenue growth reflected higher memory costs passed on to customers, which could fade as memory prices normalize.
- The downgrade was reported as driving a sharp drop in Dell shares on October 14. Technology shares are also under pressure amid higher-than-expected U.S. inflation, interest-rate concerns and questions about AI investment financing.
