VDTA Could Be One of the More Interesting AI Infrastructure Stories Developing Beneath the Surface. Vertical Data Inc. (OTCQB: VDTA) remains one to keep firmly on the radar as the AI boom expands beyond chips and into the massive infrastructure ecosystem required to power it. While NVIDIA continues to dominate the AI headlines, VDTA is targeting the layers underneath the revolution — GPU hardware and financing, managed AI infrastructure, high-density data centers and edge computing. With the company pointing to an AI infrastructuremarket that could surpass $800 billion by 2030, plus a planned 20 MW Chicago data center targeting revenue in Q2 2027, there are multiple developments ahead that could give traders fresh reasons to revisit the story. But the quantum cybersecurity angle could be what makes VDTA particularly interesting. Through its non-binding collaboration with Quantum eMotion, the company is exploring how quantum-security technology could be integrated directly into GPU clusters and data-center infrastructure, with an initial pilot targeted for 2026. It’s still an emerging story with execution risks and plenty to prove, but the setup is compelling: AI needs compute, compute needs infrastructure, and increasingly, that infrastructure needs next-generation security. As VDTA moves its projects forward and the AI infrastructure race continues accelerating, this is one small-cap technology name worth keeping on the radar.

- Special Report: This little-known gold fund distributes cash every Friday
On multiple occasions this year, President Donald Trump has publicly shown his support for Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL), telling Americans to “go out and buy a Dell computer” as recently as July 6. In doing so, he has shone a light on one of the best-performing stocks of the past year.
Since reaching a multiyear low on April 4, 2025, in the wake of the market’s tariff tantrum, shares have gained more than 490%. Founder and CEO Michael Dell and his wife, Susan, are also vocal supporters of the president. They have personally pledged $6.25 billion to help fund Trump Accounts—the administration’s tax-advantaged investment plans for children under 18, which provide $1,000 in government funding for babies born between 2025 and 2028. But Trump isn’t just a fan of the stock. According to his 927-page financial disclosure filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on June 30, he is also a shareholder. That position has paid off for the president and investors broadly, most recently following Dell’s blowout Q2 2027 earnings, which the company reported on Sept. 1 after the close. Dell Reports a Big, Beautiful Q2 Earnings BlowoutThe 42-year-old company is perhaps best known for its laptop and desktop computers, which were popularized by a series of highly successful commercials in the early 2000s. But as a multinational technology conglomerate, Dell also designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of IT products and services, including enterprise software, cloud infrastructure and managed financial solutions. Dell is also a government contractor. Trump’s stake, which reportedly grew to between $1 million and $5 million in February and March, preceded the company’s being awarded a five-year, $9.7 billion contract on May 28 to provide software consolidation and cloud services across the military, intelligence community and Coast Guard. Q2 2027 revenue came in at a record $46.97 billion, surpassing the consensus estimate of $44.89 billion and representing a 58% year-over-year (YOY) increase. But earnings per share (EPS) was the headline-grabber. An EPS of $7.04, up more than 200% YOY, easily surpassed analyst expectations of $4.91. The earnings beat marked the company’s 10th in the past 11 quarters. Additional highlights included:
AI server revenue of $16.4 billion and a growing backlog of $95 billion Full-year guidance for AI server revenue of $74 billion Traditional server and networking revenue growth of 122% Storage growth of 26% YOY, with record demand growth in Dell IP $2.2 billion in cash flow from operations and a record $4.3 billion returned to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks As a result, Dell raised its full-year revenue guidance by $25 billion to a range of $192 billion to $202 billion and raised its EPS guidance to $25.50 at the midpoint. In his earnings call comments, COO Jeff Clarke said Dell’s broad portfolio, global reach and customer relationships are helping drive demand across compute, networking, storage and PCs as the company’s addressable market expands. Post-Earnings Price Target Hikes Reinforce Wall Street’s Bullish ViewAnalysts largely anticipated the company’s strong Q2 2027 performance. On May 30, Wall Street Zen raised Dell from a Buy rating to a Strong Buy rating. On June 1, Goldman Sachs analysts boosted their price target on Dell from $230 to $500 while maintaining a Buy rating. More recently, Bank of America raised its price target on Dell from $505 to $600 on Aug. 31 while maintaining a Buy rating. Following Dell’s Sept. 1 earnings report, JPMorgan raised its target from $565 to $635 and maintained an Overweight rating, while UBS, TD Cowen and Morgan Stanley lifted their targets to $500, $500 and $499, respectively. Overall, Dell carries a Moderate Buy rating. Based on 34 analysts covering the stock, its average 12-month price target suggests more than 11% additional upside from current prices. Institutional Buying Supports Analysts’ Bull ThesisIn addition to bullish price targets and strong ratings from Wall Street, institutional owners are reinforcing the investment case. Over the past year, 1,031 institutional buyers have invested $92.48 billion in Dell, easily surpassing the outflows from 602 sellers, which totaled just over $3 billion. Meanwhile, short interest has recently tapered off. Currently, just 3.7% of the float—or $6.89 billion worth of shares—is sold short, marking a notable improvement from the multiyear high of nearly $8 billion shorted on May 29.
