Dell Technologies (DELL) has hit an all-time high, driven by surging artificial intelligence (AI) server sales and public endorsements from former U.S. President Donald Trump.

According to crypto media outlet BeInCrypto on August 5 (local time), Dell Technologies' stock price closed around $467, having surged approximately 9% the previous day. It soared to $476 during intraday trading. This year's increase has exceeded 260%.

The artificial intelligence (AI) server business led the record-breaking rally. Dell Technologies' Q1 AI server revenue surged 757% year-over-year to $16.1 billion. The company also raised its annual AI server revenue forecast to $60 billion.

News of large orders also boosted investor sentiment. Norwegian startup Volta selected Dell Technologies as the builder for its first AI factory. The 133-megawatt facility will deploy Dell PowerRack systems and PowerEdge XE9812 servers equipped with NVIDIA (NVDA) accelerators. Volta's enterprise value is $2.4 billion, and its short-term business scale exceeds 1 gigawatt.

Repeated public endorsements from President Trump also contributed to the stock's rise. Trump recommended Americans buy Dell computers three times over five months. Immediately after his past remarks, Dell Technologies' stock price rose by up to 10% during intraday trading. Trump's stake in Dell Technologies was disclosed to be worth between $1 million and $5 million.

However, caution regarding the rapid rise has also grown. The hardware business has lower profit margins than software and is sensitive to fluctuations in component prices. Dell Technologies' growth heavily relying on increased investment in AI infrastructure is also a burden. The market's attention is focused on whether large order backlogs will translate into stable profits and cash flow.
