AI snapshot
Six angles, distilled from the data.
The stock is in a recovery regime after a sharp multi-month reset, but it still trades below its 50-day average and only modestly above the 200-day line. That keeps the longer-term trend constructive but not fully repaired, with the shares still well under the 52-week high and far above the 52-week low.
Wall Street is cautious-to-positive: the consensus sits at Hold with an average target around $42.33, above the current share price but not by a wide margin. Recent updates leaned constructive, with Mizuho lifting its target to $43 and several firms reiterating or raising targets in the $40s, while the rating mix remains split.
The setup favors another strong report, with the company coming off a 189.3% EPS beat in the last quarter and a 5-for-7 beat rate. Next-year EPS is modeled at 4.87 versus 3.26 TTM, so shareholders should watch whether revenue momentum and margin discipline can keep pace with expectations.
Recent insider activity leans negative on the discretionary side, driven by repeated open-market sales from the CEO and a related director/10% owner. The awards, exempt exercises, and in-kind items are routine compensation or tax-related noise; the signal is the cluster of large sales in September and October, not the grants.
Profitability is solid, with a 10.8% gross margin, 13.38% operating margin, and 5.71% net margin. Growth remains powerful, with revenue up 93.2% year over year and EPS growth of 434.7%, but free cash flow was deeply negative at -$6.65 billion for fiscal 2026.
SMCI’s edge is scale in AI and modular server systems, where demand can translate into faster growth than traditional hardware peers. The tradeoff is valuation discipline: at about 9.07x earnings, it screens cheaper than many high-growth tech names, but execution and cash conversion remain the key debate.

Earnings call summaries
Pick a quarter — each call distilled into takeaways, results, and a bull vs bear read.
Super Micro reported a record fiscal 2026, with revenue nearly doubling and margins expanding sharply in Q4 on a mix shift and lower tariffs, while guiding Q1 FY27 and full-year FY27 to continued rapid growth.· August 11, 2026
- FY26 revenue was $39.1 billion, up 78% year over year, and non-GAAP EPS was $3.63, up 76% from FY25.
- Q4 revenue was $11.1 billion, up 93% year over year, with non-GAAP gross margin of 17.6% and non-GAAP EPS of $1.70.
- Management said over $60 billion of new orders drove backlog to record levels, and FY27 revenue is targeted at $65 billion to $72 billion.
- Q1 FY27 guidance calls for $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion of revenue and gross margin of 10.4% to 10.8%.
- The company highlighted a shift toward enterprise, CPU-based AI, storage, and DCBBS, with management saying these areas should support better long-term margins.
Super Micro said FY26 revenue was $39.1 billion, up 78% from $22 billion in FY25, and FY26 non-GAAP diluted EPS was $3.63, up 76% from $2.06. FY26 non-GAAP gross margin was 10.9% versus 11.2% last year, and FY26 non-GAAP operating margin was 8.1% versus 7.1%. In Q4 FY26, revenue was $11.1 billion, up 93% year over year and 9% quarter over quarter; non-GAAP gross margin was 17.6% versus 10.1% in Q3; and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.70, versus guidance of $0.65 to $0.79. Q4 GAAP diluted EPS was $1.62. For Q1 FY27, management guided to revenue of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion, GAAP EPS of $0.89 to $0.98, non-GAAP EPS of $1.01 to $1.10, and gross margin of 10.4% to 10.8%. Full-year FY27 revenue guidance was $65 billion to $72 billion.
Charles Liang framed FY26 as a milestone year and said Super Micro is evolving from a server maker into a total AI/data center solution provider through its DCBBS platform. He emphasized that demand remains strong, backlog is at record levels, and the company is expanding enterprise, CPU, storage, networking, and service offerings to improve mix and long-term profitability. His tone was confident and upbeat, but he repeatedly stressed that growth must remain healthy and margin-aware.
David Weigand emphasized the hard numbers: FY26 revenue of $39.1 billion, Q4 revenue of $11.1 billion, Q4 non-GAAP gross margin of 17.6%, and FY26 non-GAAP EPS of $3.63. He said Q4 gross margin improved 750 basis points sequentially, with about 75% of the improvement from better customer/product mix and about 25% from lower tariff costs and lower inventory reserves. He also noted $747 million of operating cash flow in Q4, $7.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents at quarter-end, net debt of $1.2 billion, and the $5.6 billion equity financing to support working capital for new orders. For Q1 FY27, he guided to 10.4% to 10.8% gross margin, about $453 million of GAAP operating expenses, and $50 million to $60 million of CapEx.
Analysts pressed on whether Q4’s margin step-up was sustainable, and management said the mix shift toward enterprise, CPU, storage, and DCBBS should support higher margins over time, though Q1 guidance still reflects a lower mix than Q4. Multiple questions focused on customer concentration, large data center/CSP demand, and whether customers are bypassing Super Micro for ODMs; management said shipment delays were tied to power, cooling, and networking readiness, not a structural demand issue, and said Super Micro’s OEM/ODM model still gives it room to grow. Investors also asked about the board investigation and cash needs; management said an update would come shortly, and said the stronger balance sheet plus improved backlog terms should support growth, though Charles Liang said higher revenue levels like $80 billion or above could require more cash flow.
The call showed very strong demand momentum, with over $60 billion in new orders and FY27 revenue guidance of $65 billion to $72 billion. Management is also seeing a favorable mix shift toward enterprise, CPU-based AI, storage, and DCBBS, which they said should improve profitability over time. The company ended Q4 with $7.5 billion of cash and said its financing and backlog should support the next phase of growth.
Q4 revenue came in near the low end of guidance because of customer delays tied to power, cooling, and networking readiness, and management acknowledged some contracts slipped into later quarters. Q1 gross margin guidance of 10.4% to 10.8% is well below the 17.6% Q4 level, showing that the recent margin spike may not repeat immediately. The company also flagged ongoing inventory and working-capital risk, said the board inquiry update is still pending, and noted that growth above the $65 billion to $72 billion range could require additional cash flow or financing.

A “Sell” may be a pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plan sale rather than a discretionary decision — read insider selling with that in mind.
