Trump Urged Americans to Buy Dell Three Times in Five Months as Options Stay Bearish

President Donald Trump has urged Americans to buy Dell three times in five months, helping lift Dell (DELL) stock more than 220% this year. According to BeInCrypto, his latest endorsement came at a White House ceremony on July 6, after similar calls in February and May; ethics filings show Trump owns $1 million to $5.1 million in Dell shares bought about nine days before the first endorsement. Despite the boost, options positioning stayed bearish, with Dell’s open-interest put-call ratio at 1.11 on July 2 and 1.12 on July 6. The report cites margin pressure in Dell’s AI-server business, which relies on Nvidia (NVDA) chips, with ISG operating margin at 10.5% as AI-server sales surged 757%.
