Dell Technologies Stock Surges 3.57 on 1.53 Billion Trading Volume Ranks 64th in Market Activity

Dell Technologies (DELL) surged 3.57% on October 6, 2025, with a trading volume of $1.53 billion, a 63.49% increase from the prior day. The stock ranked 64th in market activity for the session, reflecting heightened investor interest.

Recent developments highlight strategic shifts in Dell’s enterprise solutions division, including a partnership with a European cloud provider to expand data center infrastructure. Analysts noted the collaboration could enhance Dell’s competitiveness in hybrid cloud markets, though execution risks remain. Additionally, supply chain updates indicated improved inventory management, with Q3 component procurement costs declining by 8% year-over-year, aligning with broader industry trends toward leaner operations.

To run this back-test accurately I need to pin down a few implementation details that aren’t yet specified. A quick confirmation on these points will let me generate the trading signals and launch the back-test straight away: 1. Universe • Should we limit the stock pool to U.S. common shares only (e.g., all NYSE + NASDAQ tickers) or do you have a different universe in mind? 2. Re-balancing mechanics • Buy price: open of the same day or close of the previous day? • Sell price after holding 1 day: next day’s open or close? 3. Weighting & sizing • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted / market-cap-weighted? • Any position or basket notional cap you’d like enforced? 4. Frictions • Assume zero transaction costs/slippage, or specify a (bps) round-trip cost? Once I have these details I’ll create the daily trading signals for 2022-01-01 through today, run the back-test, and show the full return & risk stats.
