Despite its leadership positions, Dell has delivered relatively flat storage revenue for several years. While the server business aligns closely with market demand, the storage segment has not followed the same trajectory and remains capped below $5 billion per quarter.
As mentioned, storage revenue in FY2026 reached $16.7 billion, up 1.4% YoY from $16.4 billion in 2025 and $16.26 billion in 2024.
