Aswath Damodaran, a Professor of Finance at the Stern School of Business at New York University, proclaimed the need for investments in infrastructure to accomplish <a target="_blank" href="https://aswathdamodaran.substack.com/p/ais-winners-losers-and-wannabes-valuing" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI ambitions</a>.
The launch of ChatGPT in 2022 posed a positive catalyst for the server market, as demand for AI servers increased with the generative AI boom.

Dell, Super Micro, and Hewlett Packard are the Big 3 Original Equipment Manufacturers of the AI server market.

Also, Super Micro priced its AI servers at a discount versus rivals to win market share, Reuters cited CFO David Weigand during a quarterly earnings call.
Super Micro&#8217;s stock value lost 25% in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42520765/super-micro-drops-below-50-day-average-faces-nasdaq-100-removal-just-months-after-entry" rel="noreferrer noopener">last six months</a> as auditor Ernst &amp; Young quit in October over governance concerns.

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.
