Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Common Stock

Super Micro Computer Inc

Raymond James has initiated coverage on Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) with an Outperform rating. This move comes in light of Supermicro&#8217;s strong standing in the AI-optimized infrastructure sector and its swift revenue growth.
What Happened: AI platforms constitute approximately 70% of Supermicro&#8217;s revenue, positioning it as a dominant player among branded server vendors. Raymond James has set a $41 price target for the company, projecting Supermicro&#8217;s FY26 revenue at $29.8 billion with an EPS of $3.03, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 25%, <a href="https://in.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/raymond-james-initiates-smci-coverage-with-outperform-rating-on-ai-tailwinds-4826948">reported</a> Investing.com.
Raymond James highlighted that Supermicro has effectively carved out a niche for itself and &#8220;positioned itself in a sweet spot&#8221; between traditional branded IT vendors such as Dell (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) and contract manufacturers like Quanta.
The firm noted that while Supermicro has shown impressive growth, its valuation was impacted by past performance inconsistencies and internal control issues, which caused delayed SEC filings and auditor changes. These problems have since been resolved with no misconduct found.

The company reported quarterly earnings of 31 cents per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 50 cents by 38%. Its quarterly revenue of $4.6 billion also fell short of the analyst consensus estimate of $5.42 billion by 15.1%.
CEO Charles Liang said the company isn&#8217;t providing fiscal 2026 guidance due to tariff-related uncertainty, noting that "economic uncertainty and tariff impacts may have a short-term impact,&#8221; reported CNBC.
Despite these financial setbacks, Raymond James remains optimistic about Supermicro&#8217;s future, particularly due to its robust position in the AI-optimized infrastructure sector. The firm&#8217;s bullish stance is further supported by Supermicro&#8217;s plans to expand&nbsp;its U.S. manufacturing to produce&nbsp;1,500 liquid-cooled AI racks per&nbsp;month.
SMCI stock surged 16.02% to close at $38.89 on Tuesday. On a year-to-date basis, it soared over 29%.
SMCI holds a momentum rating of 40.25% and a growth rating of 93.38%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate some supply chain concerns and improve macro sentiment as well as demand visibility.

As the weekend wraps up, we reflect on a week filled with intriguing developments in the tech and finance world. From the potential disruption of search engine giants to the call for artificial intelligence education by leading CEOs, the week was anything but dull. Let&#8217;s dive into the top stories that made headlines.
1. AI Threatens to Disrupt Search Giants
The week kicked off with news of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) stocks taking a hit. This came after reports that Apple is considering alternatives to its profitable search partnership with Google. The twist in the tale? The potential disruptor is none other than artificial intelligence. Apple&#8217;s Senior Vice President of Services, Eddy Cue, revealed during a U.S. antitrust trial that the company is actively exploring the integration of an AI-powered search engine into Safari.

2. CEOs Advocate for AI Education
In a remarkable show of unity, over 250 CEOs from Fortune 500 companies, including Satya Nadella, Michael Dell, Lisa Su, and Alex Karp, have urged state education leaders and policymakers to prioritize AI and computer science education for all K-12 students. This call to action was part of Unlock8, a national campaign led by Code.org and CSforALL.

3. Palantir Stock Takes a Hit
Despite reporting better-than-expected earnings, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) saw its stock tumble by 9.25% in after-hours trading.

4. SMCI Forecasts Strong Q4 Revenue
Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) issued a strong fourth-quarter revenue outlook, despite third-quarter revenue falling short of initial forecasts. The company expects a surge in demand for AI infrastructure solutions, particularly those powered by Nvidia Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell GPUs.

5. AMD&#8217;s Market Position Strongest Ever, Says Analyst
Nvidia rival Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) reported better-than-expected quarterly results, with CEO Lisa Su calling it an &#8220;outstanding start to 2025.&#8221; Analysts have highlighted AMD&#8217;s market share gains as one of the strongest in the computing markets, recommending the stock&#8217;s near-term price weakness as a buying opportunity.

AI Threatens To Disrupt Search Giants, Nvidia Rival AMD's Market Position Strongest Ever And More: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
U.S. markets experienced a notable upswing this week, driven by President Donald Trump's announcement of a trade agreement with the United Kingdom. The deal includes reductions in tariffs on UK automobiles, steel, and aluminum, and grants the UK access to the U.S. beef market. This development spurred optimism for potential future trade agreements and contributed to a rally in equities, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq posting gains. Additionally, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surpassed the $100,000 mark, reflecting increased investor confidence and a shift toward riskier assets.
Despite the positive market response, concerns about the broader economic outlook persist. The Federal Reserve opted to maintain current interest rates, citing uncertainties related to the new tariff policies and their potential impact on inflation and employment. Analysts warn of the risk of stagflation — a combination of stagnant economic growth and high inflation—especially as the effects of the tariffs become more pronounced.
Looking ahead, high-level trade discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials are scheduled, aiming to address ongoing tensions and possibly adjust existing tariffs. Investors are closely monitoring these developments, as outcomes could significantly influence market dynamics and economic forecasts in the coming months.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) stock price dropped on Wednesday after the company reported worse-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45245696/smci-issues-strong-q4-revenue-outlook-expects-nvidias-blackwell-to-fuel-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter financial results</a> on Tuesday.

Needham: Super Micro posted third-quarter revenue of $4.6 billion, -19.0% Q/Q and +19.5% Y/Y, in line with the company&#8217;s preliminary announcement but well below previous guidance (midpoint at $5.5 billion). The weakness was due to customers waiting and evaluating next-gen AI platforms (Blackwell), which led to delayed commitments.
The quarterly adjusted gross margin came in at 9.7%, below the Street&#8217;s 10.1% estimate. Margins were negatively affected by higher inventory reserve charges on older Hopper systems, lower volume, and accelerated new-product costs.
The quarterly adjusted EPS was $0.31, which is in line with the preliminary announcement but well below the previous guidance (midpoint at $0.54). The miss was driven by lower revenue and margins.
The company guided fourth-quarter revenue to $6.0 billion at the midpoint, +30.4% Q/Q and +13.0% Y/Y, well below Bolton&#8217;s estimate of $7.0 billion and the Street&#8217;s estimate of $6.59 billion.
The quarterly adjusted EPS should come in at $0.45 at the midpoint, below Bolton&#8217;s prior estimate of $0.74 and the Street&#8217;s estimate of $0.64.
Super Micro has been at the forefront of liquid cooling technology, and the announcement of DLC-2 further solidifies its leadership.
Management highlighted product transitions from Hopper to Blackwell and tariff uncertainty as key contributors to near-term weakness.
Despite near-term headwinds, Bolton became incrementally more positive for the company as it filed its 2024 10-K and 2025 10-Qs and added to its management bench. The analyst found the valuation extremely attractive for a company targeting AI/HPC end markets and being at the forefront of liquid-cooled data centers.
Wedbush: Bryson noted that GB200 and B200 availability was limited early in the quarter, with initial parts primarily shipping to select Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) accounts.
This situation has been largely rectified, supporting a rebound in the next quarter. Super Micro is effectively guiding for a slight dip in gross margins on older products that it likely needs to discount to sell. The analyst noted OEMs were pushed to take Hopper, given B200 shortages.
He said Super Micro&#8217;s choice to step away from guiding for a gross margin rebound was properly pragmatic, particularly given uncertainty around the US administration&#8217;s next steps. In the intermediate to longer term, Bryson expects better pricing and margins on initial B200 servers in light of the tight supply. Super Micro&#8217;s diversified manufacturing presence could allow it to better navigate US policy than some of its peers.
Bryson projected fourth-quarter revenue of $5.95 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.45.
JP Morgan: Super Micro posted results primarily in line with the pre-announcement that had represented a roughly $900 million miss on revenue and an approximately 200 bps+ miss on gross margins to the earlier stated outlook for the fiscal third quarter.
With the company pre-announcement implying that the miss was led by one-off factors like customer platform decisions and inventory write-downs, expectations were for a sharper earnings rebound through revenue and margins.
However, the update from the company about fiscal fourth-quarter expectations highlights customer push-out of deployments in fiscal third-quarter was not limited to one or two customers and represents an ongoing challenge about customers deciding between multiple platforms as well as data center readiness to accept shipments as planned.
Lower cost inventory-related headwinds to gross margins are still not entirely behind the company, with up to 100 bps of gross margin impact in the fiscal fourth quarter, driving guidance for ~10% gross margins.
There remains the potential for further risks to gross margin if the company does not manage to sell its Hopper inventory. On the business drivers, the company continued to highlight leadership relative to the time to market for the latest technology-based servers in the high-growth AI servers market, as well as the expected launch of Data Canter Building Block Solutions (DCBBS), featuring their next-generation Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC 2.0) capabilities.
Chatterjee projected fourth-quarter revenue of $6 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.44.
Price Action: SMCI stock closed at $32.48 on Wednesday.

Super Micro Impacted By AI Server Delays And Nvidia Supply Limits, Analysts Lower Forecast

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading lower Wednesday after the company reported worse-than-expected third-quarter financial results on Tuesday after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45236823">the market closed</a>.
The Details: Super Micro reported adjusted earnings per share of 31 cents, missing the consensus estimate of 50 cents. In addition, the company reported sales of $4.60 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $5.42 billion.
Super Micro reported cash flow from operations of $627 million and capital expenditures of $33 million.
&#8220;We continue to make great progress with our DCBBS (Data Center Building Block Solution), DLC (Direct Liquid Cooled-2) and AI technology leadership, but some customers delayed making platform decisions in the quarter,&#8221; said Charles Liang, Founder, President, and CEO of Supermicro. 
&#8220;We do expect many of those commitments to land in the June and September quarters, reinforcing my confidence in our ability to meet our long-term targets, however economic uncertainty and tariff impacts may have a short-term impact. We believe that we are well positioned in the long-term to capitalize on the growing market opportunity.&#8221;

Super Micro Computer Stock Is Tumbling Wednesday: What's Going On?

U.S. stocks traded mixed at midday Wednesday, as investors remained cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming policy decision, with Chair Jerome Powell set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45258146/all-eyes-on-powell-betting-markets-reveal-what-the-fed-chair-is-most-likely-to-say-on-wednesday">speak at 2:30 p.m. ET.</a>
Trade developments continued to influence market sentiment. During a Senate hearing, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that initial talks with China will begin in Switzerland later this week, though he emphasized they are only preliminary.
Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) led notable decliners, plunging over 7% after a Bloomberg report indicated an Apple executive's testimony suggested AI may be eroding traditional search market share.
The Dow Jones outperformed, while tech-heavy indexes like the Nasdaq 100 and S&amp;P 500 lagged under pressure from Alphabet&#8217;s sharp decline. Sector performance was positive overall, with modest gains led by financials.
In commodities, U.S. natural gas prices at the Henry Hub surged over 5% to $3.640 per million British units, driven by recovering feedgas flows to Freeport LNG and forecasts for early-season heat boosting demand.
Gold retreated 1.5% after a strong two-day rally, while oil dipped 1.2% to $58.30 following a brief spike to $60 overnight.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady at around $96,800.
