Largest Expense Items
Cost of net revenue$37.1B+53% YoY
Increase driven by higher product and services revenue, partially offset by disciplined pricing and improved gross margin rate.
Selling, general, and administrative$3.3B+15% YoY

Increase principally due to higher employee compensation and benefits related to variable compensation.
Margins: Gross margin increased 80% to $9.8B with gross margin rate expanding 260 basis points to 20.9%, driven by disciplined pricing. However, the shift in mix toward lower-margin AI-optimized servers partially offset gains; management expects continued margin pressure from this mix shift and inflationary component costs.
Watch Items from the Filing
AI-optimized servers revenue highly concentrated: substantial majority of revenue from relatively small number of large customers and cloud service providers, creating elevated credit risk in trade and financing receivables.
Supply constraints and memory cost inflation persist: global supply constraints and substantial inflation in memory component costs expected to continue throughout Fiscal 2027, impacting gross margins and input costs.
Financing receivables and DFS debt grew significantly: financing receivables increased to $20.4B (+43% from January 2026); DFS debt and allocated debt grew to $20.7B (+41%), funding rapid demand for lease/loan offerings.
Purchase obligations increased materially: $34.8B in total purchase obligations as of July 31, 2026 (up from ~$24B implied at January 2026), with $24.6B due within 12 months due to AI-optimized servers component commitments.
IRS examination ongoing for FY2018–2019 with significant proposed adjustments: Company disputes IRS proposals and pursuing administrative appeals; resolution expected to extend beyond 12 months with potential material impact.
