Dell Technologies and HP Inc, one of the world’s top three PC makers, warned late last week that continued chip shortages could affect their ability to meet laptop demand this year. After that, Dell shares fell 1%, and HP – 6%.

For the next quarter, Dell, the world’s third-largest PC maker, reported that its desktop, laptop, and tablet client solutions group grew 20% year over year to reach $ 13.31 billion. However, due to supply constraints, the company expects revenues to be lower in the current quarter than in the previous quarter.
