Super Micro Computer Shares Are Trading Higher Today: What's Going On

Super Micro Computer, Inc. SMCI has been on an upward trajectory, with its shares recently moving higher Monday. The stock's performance possibly reflects a series of financial and strategic developments.

What To Know: Last week, Super Micro reported its fourth-quarter financial results for fiscal year 2024. The company posted revenues of $5.31 billion, aligning with Wall Street estimates. However, its earnings per share (EPS) of $6.25 fell short of the anticipated $8.10. Despite this earnings miss, the company showcased impressive annual growth, with fiscal 2024 revenue surging by 110% year-over-year, driven largely by the increasing demand for AI infrastructure. The company also maintained a cash position, ending the quarter with $1.67 billion on hand.

In a strategic move, Super Micro’s board approved a 10-for-1 stock split, set to take effect on October 1 2024. The company also issued strong guidance for fiscal year 2025, projecting revenues between $26 billion and $30 billion. For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Super Micro anticipates revenue between $6 billion and $7 billion, with EPS expected to range from $6.69 to $8.27.

Analysts Reaction: Analysts remain divided on Super Micro’s outlook, with price targets varying widely. While JP Morgan rated the stock “Overweight” with a target price of $950, Rosenblatt issued a “Buy” rating with an ambitious target of $1,300. On the other hand, B of A Securities downgraded its rating to “Neutral” with a price target of $700, reflecting some caution in the market.
