DELL Expands Cloud Infrastructure Reach: A Catalyst for ISG Growth?

Key Points
Intel has a strong PC roadmap for 2026, including Panther Lake and Nova Lake.
Both CPU families will use the cutting-edge Intel 18A manufacturing process.
Soaring memory chip prices could force PC price hikes and limit Intel's comeback in the PC market.
One of the issues plaguing Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) over the past few years has been an erosion of its PC CPU market share. Past manufacturing delays forced the company to use aging process nodes while rival AMD tapped TSMC's top-tier manufacturing technology. Intel later outsourced manufacturing for its Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake chips, but the latter was a mixed bag that rubbed reviewers and consumers the wrong way.

Against this backdrop, Intel's share of the desktop and laptop CPU market has tumbled. Intel remains the market leader, but AMD controlled approximately one-third of the desktop CPU market and more than one-fifth of the laptop CPU market in the third quarter. A decade ago, this kind of progress from AMD would have been unthinkable.
In 2026, Intel could regain some of the lost market share. Panther Lake for laptops and Nova Lake for desktops look promising, and both will be built on the new Intel 18A process node. However, soaring memory chip prices will likely increase PC prices and potentially dampen demand.
Intel's 2026 roadmap shows promise
Panther Lake will be the first mass-produced chip to be manufactured using the Intel 18A process, and it is expected to begin shipping in volume in early 2026. Intel 18A moves Intel to a new type of transistor and introduces backside power delivery, a technology that can boost efficiency by moving power circuitry to the back of the chip. The Intel 18A process is the first in the industry to implement backside power delivery.
Nova Lake will come later in 2026 for desktops, succeeding the troubled Arrow Lake family. In the meantime, the company is rumored to be launching a refresh of Arrow Lake, although the core problems with Arrow Lake are likely to remain unresolved until Nova Lake arrives. While Nova Lake's specifications are still unclear, rumors suggest high core counts and large amounts of cache for some models, which could better compete with AMD's 3D V-Cache chips.
Launching a new architecture on a new process node is always a challenge, but if Panther Lake and Nova Lake deliver solid improvements in performance and efficiency, they could be big winners for Intel.
Memory prices could be a major problem
Unfortunately for Intel, its Panther Lake and Nova Lake launches coincide with a severe and escalating shortage of DRAM memory. AI data centers need both high-bandwidth memory and standard DRAM memory in copious quantities. Memory chip manufacturers have been shifting production to HBM chips while being cautious about expanding overall production, creating a shortage of DRAM chips.
PC prices are almost certain to rise in 2026 as OEMs grapple with rising component costs. Dell is reportedly raising commercial PC prices by 10% to 30% in response to the memory chip crisis, a move that will likely be followed by other OEMs. Businesses could slow down upgrade plans in response. On the consumer side, higher prices and configurations with less memory are likely to be the prevailing themes in 2026.
Beyond the potential for higher prices to hurt overall demand for PCs, lower memory configurations could hurt Intel's AI PC push. Panther Lake laptops will feature greater AI processing power than their predecessors, but a lack of memory could hinder usability. Microsoft requires at least 16 GB of RAM for a laptop to be labeled a Copilot+ PC, for example, because AI applications require significant amounts of memory.
Soaring memory chip prices put Intel in a tough spot. Even if Panther Lake and Nova Lake are home runs, delivering performance and efficiency that top AMD, high PC prices could spoil the party. AMD is also impacted, so Intel won't be at a relative disadvantage and could still win market share. However, the size of the market could temporarily shrink as businesses and consumers resist price increases.
With memory chip production unlikely to increase meaningfully anytime soon, and with the AI boom still going strong, Intel's PC comeback in 2026 may be weaker than it could have otherwise been.

The demand for AI servers is driven by a diverse and expanding customer base, including Neoclouds, Tier 2 cloud service providers, Sovereigns, and Enterprises.
Further expanding its portfolio in the AI infrastructure space, in November 2025, Dell Technologies announced a collaboration with IREN to deploy NVIDIA-powered, liquid-cooled AI infrastructure across North America and launch Canada’s first Dell PowerEdge XE9712 cluster with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 to advance sovereign, efficient, renewable-energy-driven AI innovation.
Dell Technologies’ focus on AI infrastructure has positioned it as a leader in the market. The company expects to ship approximately $9.4 billion worth of AI servers in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026. Its AI server shipments are expected to reach $25 billion for fiscal 2026, representing a remarkable 150% year-over-year growth.
DELL Suffers From Stiff Competition
Dell Technologies is facing stiff competition from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise HPE and Super Micro Computer SMCI. Both Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and Super Micro Computer are expanding their footprint in the AI infrastructure space.
Hewlett-Packard Enterprise’s continuous investment in innovation is driving its success in AI infrastructure. This month, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and NVIDIA expand their partnership to launch the AI Factory Lab in Grenoble, France, addressing EU customers’ needs for more control and autonomy over their AI infrastructure and data.
Super Micro Computer is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for AI infrastructure. The company recently expanded its NVIDIA Blackwell portfolio with new 4U and 2-OU (OCP) liquid-cooled NVIDIA HGX B300 systems. These systems offer up to 144 GPUs per rack, 2.1TB HBM3e memory, and improved liquid cooling. This helps maximize AI performance, efficiency, and scalability for hyperscale and AI factory deployments.

Validea's Top Information Technology Stocks Based On Joel Greenblatt - 12/26/2025

Sandisk SNDK is riding on strong datacenter revenue growth, which increased 26% sequentially in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by strong demand for the “Stargate” product line. Growing interest in the company’s technology from global hyperscalers, neocloud and OEM customers is noteworthy. Stargate — SNDK’s storage-focused SSD product line — is expected to gain traction among these customers.
Meanwhile, Sandisk’s BiCS8 technology accounted for 15% of total bits shipped and is expected to reach the majority of bit production exiting fiscal 2026. Rapid growth of AI is creating a strong tailwind for SNDK’s high-capacity, power-efficient SSDs enabled by the BiCS8 technology. Investments in data centers and AI infrastructure are expected to surpass $1 trillion by 2030, which bodes well for Sandisk’s prospects.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Sandisk expects revenues between $2.55 billion and $2.65 billion, driven by double-digit price increases and mid-single-digit bit growth. SNDK expects non-GAAP operating expenses between $450 million and $475 million, primarily to support data center business expansion and high-bandwidth flash innovation. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues is currently pegged at $2.62 billion.
SNDK Faces Tough Competition in the Datacenter & AI Space
Sandisk competes against Dell Technologies DELL and Micron Technology MU in the datacenter and AI space.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Dell Technologies’ AI-optimized server momentum saw an increase of $12.3 billion in orders and $30 billion of orders year to date. DELL shipped $5.6 billion worth of AI servers in the fiscal third quarter, and the AI server backlog remained healthy at $18.4 billion. Dell Technologies’ focus on AI infrastructure has positioned it as a leader in the market. DELL expects to ship approximately $9.4 billion worth of AI servers in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026. Its AI server shipments are expected to reach $25 billion for fiscal 2026, indicating remarkable 150% year-over-year growth.
Micron is capitalizing on the AI boom with its HBM3E solutions, which are increasingly being adopted by major hyperscalers and enterprise customers. On the first-quarter fiscal 2026earnings call the company highlighted strong customer interest in its HBM3E portfolio, which is expected to drive substantial revenue growth in the quarters ahead. Micron’s HBM portfolio is generating multi-billion-dollar quarterly revenues. MU is poised to be the key beneficiary of surging AI-related infrastructure spending, as companies continue to build out GPU clusters and AI data centers that require advanced memory solutions.

Sandisk Stock Rides on Datacenter Growth: A Sign of More Upside?

Key Points
New York City-based Nitorum Capital sold 344,444 shares of Lantheus Holdings in the third quarter.
The net position change was approximately $28.2 million from the previous period.
The move marked a full exit from LNTH, with Nitorum reporting no shares held as of September 30.
New York City-based Nitorum Capital fully exited its stake in Lantheus Holdings (NASDAQ:LNTH), selling 344,444 shares with an estimated transaction value of $28.2 million, according to a November 14 SEC filing.
What Happened
Nitorum Capital disclosed in a November 14 SEC filing that it sold its entire holding in Lantheus Holdings (NASDAQ:LNTH) during the third quarter. The firm eliminated approximately 344,000 shares, resulting in a net position change of approximately $28.20 million. The fund’s 13F reportable assets under management now total $569.28 million across 27 positions following the transaction.
What Else to Know
Lantheus Holdings previously represented 4.2% of AUM as of June 30.
Top holdings after the filing:

Company Snapshot
Lantheus Holdings offers diagnostic and therapeutic products including DEFINITY (ultrasound agent), TechneLite (technetium generator), PYLARIFY (PSMA imaging), and AZEDRA (radiotherapeutic), as well as AI-enabled imaging software for oncology and cardiology applications.
The company generates revenue primarily through the sale and licensing of proprietary imaging agents, radiopharmaceuticals, and related medical devices used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other serious conditions.
It serves radiopharmacies, hospitals, clinics, integrated delivery networks, and group medical practices globally, targeting healthcare providers involved in advanced diagnostic imaging and cancer care.
Lantheus Holdings, Inc. is a leading developer and manufacturer of imaging diagnostics and targeted therapeutics for oncology and cardiology, leveraging a diversified portfolio of proprietary agents and AI-driven software. The company maintains a strong presence in the radiopharmaceuticals market, supported by strategic partnerships with major healthcare and pharmaceutical organizations. Its focus on innovation and specialized products positions Lantheus as a key supplier to institutions seeking advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions.
Foolish Take
Nitorum’s move comes at an interesting time for Lantheus. The company still generates serious cash, reporting $384 million in third-quarter revenue and nearly $95 million in free cash flow, but the quality of those earnings is under pressure. GAAP EPS fell to $0.41 from $1.79 a year earlier, while adjusted EPS declined to $1.27, reflecting rising costs tied to acquisitions, integration, and a heavier R&D load.
That matters because Lantheus is no longer a simple growth story anchored solely to iPYLARIFY. Sales of its flagship prostate cancer imaging agent declined 7.4% year over year, even as precision diagnostics revenue elsewhere grew. At the same time, management is navigating a CEO retirement, a portfolio reshuffle, and ambitious regulatory timelines with multiple PDUFA dates stretching into 2026.
The exit also stands out in context. This portfolio remains diversified across industrials, gaming, and tech, suggesting the decision was company-specific rather than a wholesale risk pullback. For patient investors, Lantheus still offers scale, a deep pipeline, and cash generation. But this sale is a reminder that execution risk, margin compression, and leadership transitions can quickly change how much conviction even seasoned holders are willing to maintain.

Lantheus Exit: $28 Million Sale Comes as Earnings Fall 77% Year Over Year

Key Points
Nebius’ cloud-based AI infrastructure business is booming.
Supermicro’s sales of AI-optimized AI servers are soaring.
However, the higher-growth company still has a lot to prove.
Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS) and Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) represent two distinct investment options in the rapidly growing artificial intelligence (AI) market. Nebius provides cloud-based AI infrastructure services to companies with don't want to upgrade their on-premise servers. Super Micro Computer, more commonly known as Supermicro, builds those dedicated AI servers.
Both of these stocks are volatile, but which one is the better long-term play on the AI market? Let's compare their business models, growth rates, and valuations to determine the differences.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
The differences between Nebius and Supermicro
Nebius was once known as Yandex, which owned Russia's top search engine and a broad range of related websites and applications. The sanctions against Russia forced it to suspend its shares in early 2022, so it relocated its business to Amsterdam, spun off its Russian assets, and rebranded itself as Nebius -- a pure play provider of cloud-based AI infrastructure services.
Nebius now operates one first-party data center in Finland and leases additional data centers through colocation deals in the U.S., France, and Iceland. It's currently building its second first-party data center in New Jersey, and it recently signed another colocation deal in the UK. It promotes itself as a "full-stack" AI infrastructure company that integrates managed software services into its data centers while providing customized AI services for the data training, edtech, and robotics markets. That sets it apart from other cloud-based GPU providers, such as CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), which primarily processes GPU-intensive tasks.
Supermicro is an underdog in the data center server market compared to Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) and Dell (NYSE: DELL). Still, it rolled out its own liquid-cooled AI-optimized servers before its larger competitors. Its partnership with Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) also granted it access to a steady supply of the chipmaker's top-tier data center GPUs. It controlled about 9% of the dedicated AI server market in 2024, according to ABI Research.
Supermicro grew rapidly as the AI market expanded. However, it struggled with a delayed 10-K filing, the abrupt departure of its auditor amid accounting issues, delisting threats, and regulatory probes last year. Those headwinds weighed down its stock, but it eventually hired a new auditor, filed its overdue 10-K, dodged a delisting, and seemingly placated the regulators. However, it's facing tougher competition as HPE and Dell roll out more AI-optimized servers.
Which company is growing faster?
In 2024, Nebius' revenue surged 462% to $118 million, but its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) came in at negative $266 million.
For 2025, analysts expect its revenue to soar 373% to $556 million as its adjusted EBITDA improves to negative $75 million. It had already sold out of all its available capacity by the end of the third quarter, but it's still racking up steep losses as it expands its infrastructure.
Nebius expects to generate an annualized revenue run rate of $7 billion to $9 billion by the end of 2026. That wording might seem vague, but it means by the end of next year, it expects its monthly revenue -- when multiplied by 12 -- to land between those estimates. Analysts expect its revenue to hit $7.8 billion in 2027, which would represent a jaw-dropping CAGR of 305% from 2024. They also expect its adjusted EBITDA to turn positive in 2026 and more than triple to $5.0 billion in 2027.
In fiscal 2025 (which ended in June), Supermicro's revenue rose 47% to $22.0 billion as its adjusted EBITDA grew 6% to $1.6 billion. For fiscal 2026, analysts expect the company's revenue to surge 65% to $36.3 billion, as its adjusted EBITDA rises 10% to $1.8 billion.
The ongoing AI boom will fuel that growth, even as Supermicro faces tougher competition from its larger peers and increases its R&D spending on new liquid-cooled systems. From fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2028, analysts expect its revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow at a CAGR of 33% and 26%, respectively, as those tailwinds persist.
Which stock is a better value?
With an enterprise value of $24.2 billion, Nebius still looks reasonably valued at seven times next year's sales. Yet Supermicro, with an enterprise value of $16.6 billion, trades at less than one times next year's sales and six times its adjusted EBITDA.
Nebius' losses are likely compressing its valuation, while Supermicro is still more closely valued as a legacy server maker (like HPE and Dell) rather than a high-growth AI stock.
Both stocks appear attractive at these levels, but Supermicro's first-mover advantage in the AI-optimized server market, robust growth, and low valuations make it a more attractive buy than Nebius. Nebius is a good speculative play, but it needs to prove its business model is sustainable.
