In November, Dell reported Q3 fiscal 2024 revenue of $22.3 billion – down ten percent year-over-year.

Hm, maybe this is trying to hide post-pandemic contraction...

Profits were healthy, however, at over $1 billion for the quarter, a 317 percent year on year rise.

There was a unionization attempt at Dell once. They laid off the entire group and moved their jobs overseas.

~~I might be a moron, but how can a business be down in revenue but up in profit?~~

Edit: confirmed moron. Their expenses were just that much lower.
