Dell Technologies Inc<\/a> beat revenue expectations for the ninth straight quarter on Thursday after enterprises invested heavily in its desktops and notebooks to support hybrid work.
The PC maker's shares jumped 7% after the bell as it also trumped expectations for quarterly profit with a 62% jump and said revenue growth was powered by continued strength in commercial PCs.
Dell<\/a>'s results come at a time when technology companies are battling a global chip shortage<\/a> and supply chain disruptions<\/a> made worse by the Ukraine war and fresh lockdowns in China.
Revenue at Dell's client solutions group - home to its hardware units - rose 17% in the quarter, with commercial PC revenue jumping 22% to $12 billion.
Total revenue rose 16% to $26.12 billion in the first quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $25.04 billion, according to Refinitiv data.
Net income from continuing operations rose to $1.07 billion from $659 million a year earlier.
Excluding items, Texas-based Dell earned $1.84 per share, beating estimates of $1.39 per share.
Earlier in the day, chip firm Broadcom Inc<\/a> said it would buy VMware<\/a> in a $61 billion cash-and-stock deal. The cloud computing firm was spun off from Dell in 2021.
Michael Dell, the nearly four-decade-old company's founder and top boss, is VMware's biggest investor with a 40% stake.
