Records before Q2 FY2027 are reconstructed from the latest snapshot. Ledger: findings.json. Correction of 20 October 2026: Dell labelled its 10-Qs for the quarters to 5 May and 4 August 2023 as full fiscal years, and Annalist took the labels: fiscal 2024 ended on 4 August 2023 with revenue of US$43.9 billion, and its fourth quarter showed minus US$22.3 billion. The quarters now follow the dates of the filings: fiscal 2024 runs to 2 February 2024 with revenue of US$88.4 billion, and its fourth quarter is US$22.3 billion. The quarters of fiscal 2021, around the spin-off of VMware, now come from one set of filings each. Its dividend per share of fiscal 2024 is now 1.48, where 0.74 for half a year was published, and its first 2 quarters show 0.37 each; 2 fourth quarters derived from the figures of 2 filings, minus 0.37 for fiscal 2024, are no longer published. Records 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 28, 32, 34, 52, 56, 61, 63, 66, 73, 76, 88 and 100 cite figures that the correction changed. Correction of 22 October 2026: Changes against a year earlier compared 2 figures of different bases where a stock split, a spin-off or a restatement came between the 2 periods. 19 growth values of Dell changed, among them net income growth for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, 32.2% before the correction and 23.7% on one basis. Records 2, 14 and 23 compare net income of 2 bases; on one basis net income rose 83.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, 12.5% in the third and 23.7% in the fourth.
