Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) was up 4% in recent trading following the report.

The company reported first-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.31 on revenue of $20.9 billion, compared with estimates for $0.86 per share and $20.3 billion, respectively.

The beat on the bottom line comes even as margins and revenue fell amid a weaker backdrop for PC demand. 

Dell’s client solutions group and infrastructure solutions group business saw revenue fall 23% and 18% respectively amid “challenging economic backdrop,” the company said.
