Dell Technologies (DELL) Target Raised as Mizuho Highlights Growing AI Server Business

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) ranks among the best computer hardware stocks to invest in. Mizuho maintained its Outperform rating on Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL) and increased its price target from $150 to $160 on August 13. The price target hike, which reflects higher expectations for Dell’s artificial intelligence server business, is a multiple of 14.4x Mizuho’s fiscal 2027 earnings per share projection, up from the previous multiple of 13.6x.
