The company cut its fiscal year 2025 guidance to $23.5 billion—$25 billion from its previous forecast of $26 billion—$30 billion (versus the $24.92 billion consensus). It projected fiscal year 2026 revenue of $40 billion versus the $29.92 billion consensus.

Analysts rerated the stock upon the results.
<ul>
<li>Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson maintained Super Micro with a Neutral and raised the price target from $24 to $40.</li>
<li>JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintained Super Micro with an Underweight and raised the price target from $23 to $35.</li>
<li>Needham analyst Quinn Bolton suspended the rating on Super Micro.</li>
</ul>
Wedbush: Super Micro&#8217;s softer, uninspiring results, the vision of a significantly more robust future, and plans to file its financials before the deadline should reduce uncertainty.
Bryson expects the business to expand considerably in the first half of 2026. However, he is also hesitant to model as aggressively as management forecasts.
JP Morgan: Despite the near-term softness, Super Micro surprised with an updated full-year guide, which implied a strong revenue inflection that the company expects will start a robust AI server revenue cycle.
The price target boost reflects increased conviction from the management team to meet regulatory deadlines.
Needham: Super Micro&#8217;s preliminary revenue and gross margin results fell slightly short of expectations as customers waited to order new Blackwell systems and aggressive pricing on Hopper products.
Bolton maintained his suspended rating as he awaited the filing of the annual and quarterly reports.
Investors can gain exposure to Super Micro through Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTI#NYSE">VTI</a>) and Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>).
Price Action:&nbsp;SMCI stock closed at $39.68 on Wednesday.

Following the success of their first hedged European large-cap ETF, WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/wetf#NASDAQ">WETF</a>) has launched its second hedged European ETF and fourth ETF with European exposure.

	The WisdomTree Europe Hedged SmallCap Equity Fund (NYSE: EUSC) will be very similar to its larger peer, the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Eq Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/hedj#NYSE">HEDJ</a>); however, it will concentrate solely on the small-cap portion of the equity market. WisdomTree believes small-cap stocks are much more levered to potential European growth in the near future.
<h3>
	Appeal Of Hedged European ETFs</h3>

	The outperformance in the last year is clearly evident, as the hedged European ETFs have been able to avoid the currency fluctuations as the <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/topic/euro">euro</a> hit a new multi-year low.

	In the last 12 months, HEDJ is up 15 percent as the unhedged iShares S&amp;P Europe 350 Index (ETF) (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/iev#NYSE">IEV</a>) is down 7 percent. The struggles of the euro have removed all the gains from the rise of the European equities in the ETF.
<h3>
	In Context</h3>

	With the European Central Bank vowing to do whatever it takes to boost Europe&#39;s economy, the end result could be a euro at parity with the U.S. dollar. At the same time, the stimulus could boost European equities just as the Federal Reserve did in the U.S. This combination calls for the use of a hedged ETF to eliminate a potentially weak euro.

	As investors look to increase exposure to European equities and are willing to take on more risk, the small-cap asset class could be beneficial.

	<bzrelatedlink>Related Link: <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/15/03/5293173/small-cap-etfs-set-to-outperform-again">Small-Cap ETFs Set To Outperform, Again</a></bzrelatedlink>
<h3>
	EUSC Profile</h3>

	EUSC is made up of 209 small-cap European companies across 10 sectors and 10 different countries. Industrials are the most heavily weighted at 27 percent, followed by consumer discretionary at 17 percent. The countries with the highest exposure are Italy at 19 percent and France at 18 percent.

	The top individual holdings include:
<ul>
	<li>
		BPOST SA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/bposy#OTC">BPOSY</a>)(OTC: BPOSF) at 2.2 percent</li>
	<li>
		ELISA OYJ UNSP ADR (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/elmuy#OTC">ELMUY</a>) making up 2.1 percent</li>
	<li>
		FREENET AG (OTC: FRTAF) coming in at 1.8 percent</li>
	<li>
		Mediolanum SPA (MED), which trades on the BIT exchange, at 1.7 percent</li>
</ul>

	EUSC opened up at 24.95 on March 4 and has an expense ratio of 0.59 percent.

	Along with exposure to a region that is poised to boost their equity market, the ETF will provide diversity to a typical portfolio. The top holdings are likely names most investors have never heard of and most probably do not have in their portfolio.
