On September 14, Dell Technologies Inc. fell 3.05% in pre-market trading, trading at 547.75 USD/share, with turnover of approximately 18.33 million USD. The decline comes just one session after the stock surged nearly 12% to an all-time high following Oracle naming Dell as a core supplier for its AI capital expenditure program.
The pullback was triggered by a rare consensus among three major AI leaders — Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman — who collectively called for slowing the pace of frontier AI development to allow safety testing and monitoring to catch up. The market interpreted this as a potential deceleration in AI infrastructure demand, sending AI hardware stocks broadly lower in pre-market trading, with NVIDIA down 2.0%, SanDisk down 3.4%, Micron down 3.5%, and Marvell Technology down 4.3%.
Compounding the pressure, Fed September rate hike expectations surged to 87.3%, further weighing on technology stock valuations. Within the Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals sector, Hewlett Packard Enterprise fell 5.57%, SanDisk declined 5.36%, Seagate dropped 4.6%, Western Digital lost 4.24%, and Apple edged down 0.23%.
