Tech Stars From the 90s Reborn: Nokia, Dell, Cisco Surge on AI

Tech companies from the 90s, including Dell Technologies Inc., Nokia Oyj, and Lenovo Group Ltd., are experiencing a resurgence driven by a significant boom in artificial intelligence spending. This revival marks a notable shift from their previous decline following the dot-com bubble burst.

For Dell Technologies, the recent sale of $74.6 million in Class C stock underscores investor confidence and ongoing financial activity, while Nokia's strong earnings report indicates successful AI initiatives that exceeded analyst expectations.

This trend highlights a broader industry shift where established tech firms are leveraging AI to regain market relevance, contrasting with newer entrants that have dominated the tech landscape in recent years.
