What stands out

On Schwab Network, Don Gentile lays out a pragmatic beat: Dell Technologies (DELL) has been learning from Nvidia (NVDA) as it stitches together a full artificial intelligence (AI) stack, combining servers, services, and software. The takeaway is not just scale, it is margin discipline, Gentile warns that backlogs are seductive, but swelling them without holding quality will erode profitability.
