Intel CEO warns of PC shipment decline, sending Dell shares sharply lower
Intel CEO Lip‑Bu Tan said PC shipments will fall about 12% this year and 10% in 2027 because of memory shortages and rising prices. The warning triggered a sell‑off in hardware makers, with Dell falling roughly 11% in afternoon trading. Other PC‑focused peers such as HP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Super Micro also dropped double‑digit percentages.
Why it matters
The decline highlights Dell’s exposure to a weakening PC market and higher component costs, which could pressure its revenue and margins. Analysts note that the broader hardware sector may face similar headwinds as memory constraints persist.
