Lenovo's stock surged as much as 31% on Friday and gained 109% in May 2026—its best monthly performance since 1999. The rally followed Q4 revenue of $21.6 billion, up 27% year-on-year, and net profit of $521 million, up 479% from $90 million a year earlier. AI-related revenue grew 84% year-on-year to account for 38% of Lenovo's total quarterly sales, driven by its Infrastructure Solutions Group, which posted record quarterly revenue of $5.6 billion. The surge reflects a broader shift in AI infrastructure demand from hyperscalers to enterprise clients, positioning conventional server OEMs like Lenovo and Dell as primary beneficiaries of the AI buildout.

Dell Reports $43.84 Billion Q1 Revenue and Raises AI Server Guidance
On Thursday, Dell Technologies reported Q1 FY2027 revenue of $43.84 billion, up 88% year-on-year, and raised its full-year AI server revenue guidance to $60 billion. Dell's AI server backlog now stands at $51.3 billion. "AI server growth is obviously a driver, with demand now spreading from hyperscalers to enterprise for AI inferencing demand, which benefits conventional server OEMs like Lenovo and Dell," Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Steven Tseng said.
The shift from hyperscalers to regular enterprise companies marks a key development. For two years, the AI infrastructure buildout was concentrated around Nvidia chips and a handful of specialized players. Lenovo and Dell are the companies that assemble the racks, qualify the hardware configurations, and ship compute-ready systems to businesses that want AI without building it from scratch.
