Dell Shares Plunge 1.67% as Volumes Tank 28.65% to Rank 221st in U.S. Trading Amid Cloud Push

On September 24, 2025, Dell Technologies (DELL) closed at a 1.67% decline, with a trading volume of $0.46 billion, marking a 28.65% drop compared to the previous day’s volume. The stock ranked 221st in trading activity among U.S. equities for the session.

Recent developments highlighted Dell’s strategic focus on enterprise cloud solutions, with analysts noting increased R&D allocations to bolster hybrid cloud infrastructure. A partnership with a major European telecom provider was disclosed, targeting data center modernization projects across six countries. The move is seen as a catalyst for long-term revenue diversification amid slowing PC demand.

Shareholder sentiment appeared mixed, as the company reported Q2 non-GAAP earnings in line with estimates but flagged near-term supply chain constraints. Institutional investors trimmed positions slightly, according to a regulatory filing, while retail buying activity remained subdued.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe • Should we scan all U.S. listed common stocks, or a narrower universe (e.g., S&P 1500 constituents, NASDAQ + NYSE only, etc.)? 2. Execution price • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close)? • Or buy at tomorrow’s open and sell at tomorrow’s close (open-to-close)? 3. Weighting & rebalancing costs • Equal-weight each of the 500 names every day? • Any transaction-cost assumption to include? 4. Risk controls • No stop-loss/take-profit rules unless you specify otherwise—confirm this is fine. Let me know your preferences (or tell me to use reasonable defaults) and I’ll set up the data retrieval and run the back-test.
