ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
SMCI is the fastest GPU server assembler in the world — when NVIDIA ships new chips, Super Micro has systems ready first. Trading at just 11x forward PE with $40B revenue guidance for 2026. Q2 FY2026 beat with significant EPS and revenue surprise. At 52% below ATH ($66), this is the deepest value AI play if governance concerns resolve. Extreme analyst divergence — Goldman Sell $27, Rosenblatt Buy $50 — reflects the binary nature of the risk.
⚠️ Key Risk
Governance risk remains the defining issue — Goldman maintains Sell ($27), Mizuho Neutral ($33). Delayed SEC filings and auditor issues still overhang. Competition from Dell and HPE intensifying on price. Margins thin vs peers. If accounting concerns resurface, the 52% ATH discount could widen further. Binary risk: governance resolution → re-rate to 20x+ ($60); new revelations → retrace to $20s.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
Fastest AI server assembler. Deep NVIDIA partnership. $40B revenue guidance for 2026. Direct liquid cooling leader.
No defense or energy exposure.
No quantum relevance.
Supply chain has Asia exposure. Export controls could impact.
At 10x PE, relatively rate-insensitive. $2.8B debt manageable given revenue scale. Thin margins mean any cost increase matters.
AI servers consume power but SMCI is a consumer, not a grid provider. Direct liquid cooling leadership reduces per-rack power needs.
No significant fiscal exposure.
