Barclays downgraded Dell, HPE and NetApp. It cited lagging enterprise AI adoption. Dell stock fell 11% and led a broader data center sell-off. Barclays said current revenue growth stems from memory costs, not AI. It noted only 5% of IT budgets go to AI. Barclays found just 25% of enterprise AI spend goes to hardware. It warned falling memory prices could hurt future revenue. Oracle and CoreWeave also dropped sharply on debt concerns.
