Super Micro has a lot of room to rerate after guiding FY2027 revenue to $65-72 billion, about $16.1B above the roughly $52.4B consensus, against a market cap near $20B. It logged more than $60B in new orders, and at its 2026 net margin of about 7.7%, $70B of revenue would mean roughly 4.1x forward earnings. 2027 margins are the key question, and markets are right to discount Super Micro for its history of compliance failures; it is not for everyone. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Increased AI-platform demand is lifting Super Micro Computer's preliminary revenue above guidance. Supermicro estimates fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of $18.5B-$19.5B versus $14.5B-$15.5B guided, and gross margin of 12%-12.5% versus 10.4%-10.8% guided, primarily due to customer and product mix. No one is bullish enough on the stock; $50+ by year-end is in view. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Super Micro's improved expected gross margin kills the bear case, while quarterly revenue near its market cap makes the stock a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It expects first-quarter gross margin of 12%-12.5% versus 10.4%-10.8% guidance and revenue of $18.5B-$19.5B versus $14.5B-$15.5B guidance, against a roughly $21B market cap. Shares should return to all-time highs and, on a Grok-assisted comparison with Dell and HPE, easily top $100; once they break $50, the move to $100 could be fast. … Show more
Super Micro Computer's $7 billion equity raise is heavy dilution to fund AI spending, and the market is never going to like a raise that large. The stock sold off on the news, fitting a broader weakness theme around dilution for AI spend. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Supermicro's sharply higher preliminary revenue and margin guidance suggests AI server orders are still being pulled through despite capex-fatigue fears. Q1 FY2027 revenue guidance rose from $14.5-$15.5B to $18.5-$19.5B, and gross margin guidance to 12.0%-12.5%. Scale into fatigue pullbacks, but these are unaudited figures; customer concentration, tariffs or a weak November 3 report could reverse the case. x.comÂ
Super Micro is shifting from low-margin commodity assembly to high-margin rack-scale direct liquid cooling infrastructure, with gross margin expanding to 15-17%, nearly double its prior 8.2-8.4% outlook, alongside $60B+ in new quarterly orders. Q4 revenue near the low end of $11.0-12.5B guidance reflects supply constraints, not weaker demand, and next quarter's guide rose $20B to $72B. The key question is whether mid-teens margins are a sustainable reset for FY2027. x.com x.comÂ
Super Micro is cheap for a reason: it has the worst margins and the worst management team. x.comÂ
Super Micro should benefit as data centers buy the servers that house Nvidia's AI chips. Its quarterly sales outlook rose from $15B to $19B; the stock is 36% below its high and trades at 8x next year's earnings. It is a double from here. x.com x.comÂ
Super Micro's enterprise data-center demand is boosting margins because that business has better margins than AI racks. Revenue rose 10% quarter on quarter and 90% year on year, net income rose 142% quarter on quarter, and gross margin jumped 76% quarter on quarter. Demand remains hot, and its forecast remains bullish. x.comÂ
Super Micro is burning shareholder money with a $7B equity and equity-linked financing. The company says proceeds will fund components for about $39 billion of AI server orders from more than 20 customers, but needing outside money to fill orders is either a sign of a very good business or what it hopes investors will believe. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Meta's unmet AI demand pays its bottleneck suppliers. Super Micro's $19.5B quarterly outlook and under 8x forward earnings point to a double. CoreWeave's Meta deals total $35.2B; it should easily top $100. Builders say nearly all new sites use Dell or Super Micro; Dell could easily double. Micron's demand is off the charts at 5x forward earnings. Sources say Vertiv's gear is sold out for 2-3 years. VivoPower has 2GW+ potential in 5-7 years. Digi Power X has a $1.1B Cerebras deal. x.com x.com … Show more
