Dell beat estimates so badly ($43.84B actual vs. $35.43B expected) that DELL jumped 38%+ after hours — the laptop-and-storage company is now a hyperscaler infrastructure play. *(CNBC)*

Down from a previous $2T+ ask — still the kind of lowered expectations that would make almost any other company weep. *(Bloomberg)*
