AI Demand Top of Mind for PC, Hardware Giants in 2026

Woo Jin Ho, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Technology Analyst, joins Paul Sweeney and Kristine Aquino on Bloomberg Intelligence to discuss the 2026 outlook for the PC and computer hardware market, including Micron, Dell, HP, and more. AI is top of mind for these companies as server demand continues to accelerate. Dell in particular is expected to see a broadening customer base that will support a high-single-digit compound annual growth rate through fiscal 2030. Robust AI order activity and stable traditional server and storage trends will help sustain momentum. Elsewhere, Micron's 2026 DRAM-supply outlook offers little relief for HP and Dell's PC sales and margin. Micron expects DRAM-supply tightness at least through 2026 and into 2027, which forces personal-computer manufacturers to ma...

The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a reading of 53.5. “Despite some signs of improvement to close out the year, sentiment remains nearly 30% below December 2024, as pocketbook issues continue to dominate consumer views of the economy,” Joanne Hsu, director of the survey, said in a statement.

Baby Bonds vs. Trump Accounts

A new savings vehicle, dubbed “Trump accounts,” is designed to help the rising generation of American children build wealth into adulthood. Under the multitrillion-dollar tax and spending bill signed by President Donald Trump in July, the federal government will contribute $1,000 to accounts set up for every American baby born in the next few years. Darrick Hamilton, Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at the New School, is behind a comparable concept known as "baby bonds," which he sees as a means to granting more social mobility and agency to young people regardless of family income levels. Professor Hamilton compares and contrasts his idea with the Trump administration's mechanism with Alexis Christoforous and Isabelle Lee on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily. (Source: Bloomberg)
