AI server stocks fall sharply post-midterms as Dell drops 12% amid Texas moratorium and memory cost worries

Shares of AI server makers Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Super Micro fell 10-12% following the U.S. midterm elections, as investors reacted to Democrats gaining control of Congress and a Texas governor's pledge to halt data center construction. This impacts the AI data center build-out, with Texas accounting for over 25% of planned U.S. capacity through 2030. Rising memory costs and a weak Qualcomm forecast also raised concerns about profit margins. Dell's valuation is resetting after a strong year-to-date rally, with its upcoming earnings report on November 24 seen as a key test for sustaining AI server demand amid economic and political uncertainties.

Following the post-midterm sell-off affecting AI hardware stocks, Dell Technologies shares dropped 12.61% to USD 324.58 on Pluang as of Nov 06, 2026 01:11 WIB. Hewlett Packard Enterprise also fell 10.31% to USD 44.91, while Super Micro Computer declined 9.63% to USD 26.75. Despite the sharp declines, Pluang order activity shows a majority of buyers for these stocks, with Dell at 64% buy and HPE at 74% buy, indicating ongoing investor interest.
