Dell Technologies issued a profit and revenue forecast for the current-quarter that is below Wall Street estimates.

Dell is the latest victim of the ongoing demand slump in its PC business.

The news sent shares of Dell down nearly 3% in extended trading, after getting an initial boost on better-than-expected quarterly results.

While the company has seen a slowdown in PC business, demand for its enterprise and consumer businesses has been strong.

Dell forecast first-quarter revenue to decline between 17% and 21%. Analysts were looking for it to be down by 17.4%, according to Refinitiv data.

The company also expects quarterly earnings per share of 80 cents, plus or minus 15 cents, below expectations of $1.25.

Dell's full-year profit and revenue forecast also disappointed Wall Street even as the lifting of lockdowns in China were expected to ease supply chain pressures and reduce component and freight costs.
