Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of February 21, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading volatile Wednesday, after experiencing momentum last week as investors anticipate an update on the company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43812953/super-micro-computer-stock-continues-to-climb-whats-going-on"> delayed financial filings</a>.
What To Know: Super Micro has been under scrutiny since its independent auditor, Ernst &amp; Young, resigned last October over governance and transparency concerns, leading to the delay in quarterly and full-year filings. However, an independent Special Committee found no evidence of fraud or misconduct by management or the board. The company has until Feb. 25 to submit its reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Last week, Super Micro reported preliminary first-quarter results and reaffirmed its commitment to filing the delayed reports before the deadline. Shares initially dipped after the announcement but rebounded after CEO Charles Liang expressed confidence that the filings would be completed on time. The company also set a revenue target of $40 billion for 2026, according to CNBC.
Analysts have reacted to the developments with price target adjustments. JPMorgan's Samik Chatterjee raised the target from $23 to $35 while maintaining an Underweight rating. Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson maintained a Neutral stance and raised the target from $24 to $40. Loop Capital's Ananda Baruah maintained a Buy rating and increased the target from $40 to $50. Loop Capital has been optimistic about Super Micro, expecting benefits from improved internal controls, while Wedbush remains cautious, citing unresolved uncertainties.
Super Micro shares closed Tuesday up 16.5% and continued to rise Wednesday morning, gaining 5.95% to trade at $103.90, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro. </a>
SMCI Price Action: Super Micro Computer shares were down 0.95% at $59.65 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Super Micro Computer shares are trading higher on possible continued momentum from last week. Investors await an update from the company regarding its delayed filings.

Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday on what appears to be continued momentum from last week. Investors await an update from the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43630405/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-stock-tuesday">regarding its delayed filings</a>. 
What To Know: Super Micro&#8217;s independent auditor Ernst &amp; Young&nbsp;resigned last October over&nbsp;governance and transparency concerns, which led to the company delaying the filing of its quarterly and full-year results. 
An independent Special Committee found no evidence of fraud or misconduct on the part of management or the company's board. Super Micro has until Feb. 25 to file its delayed reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Super Micro reported preliminary first-quarter results last week and said it continues to work diligently toward the filing of its delayed reports. The company noted that it expected to file the delayed reports before the deadline next week. 
Shares initially traded lower on the report before CEO Charles Liang said on a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43630405/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-stock-tuesday"> conference call</a> following the print that he was &#8220;confident&#8221; that the company would file by the deadline. Super Micro also said on the call that it expects to reach $40 billion in revenue in 2026, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/11/super-micro-confident-it-will-meet-sec-deadline.html">CNBC</a>.

The optimistic outlook paired with the anticipated filings appear to be driving shares higher this week. Multiple analysts also raised price targets in the wake of earnings. 
JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintained Super Micro with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Underweight</a>, but raised the price target from&nbsp;$23&nbsp;to&nbsp;$35. Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson maintained a Neutral rating and raised the price target from&nbsp;$24&nbsp;to&nbsp;$40, and Loop Capital analyst Ananda Baruah maintained a Buy and raised the price target from&nbsp;$40&nbsp;to&nbsp;$50.
Loop Capital was positive on Super Micro ahead of the print as the analyst firm believes the company stands to benefit from tightened internal controls related to the delayed filings. Wedbush was more cautious last week noting that "substantial unknowns"&nbsp;remain. Investors continue to expect an update from Super Micro in the coming days. 
SMCI Price Action: Super Micro shares closed Tuesday up 16.5%. The stock was up another 5.95% Wednesday morning, trading at $103.90 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The analyst noted a focus on the company&#8217;s AI ramp of its next-generation MI350 GPU with a pulled-ahead schedule of mid-year 2025 versus the prior schedule of the second half. With the transition, AMD expects first-half 2025 Data Center revenue to be flat due to softer seasonality and its Instinct revenue to be flat as customers wait for the launch of the new platform.
AMD broadly expects MI350 to be much more directly competitive with Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell, with MI400 likely to be technically competitive with Rubin. Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell delays and accelerated move-up of the MI350 launch proved that AMD is closing the competitive gap.
AMD noted ASICs only make up about 20% of the total AI silicon opportunity, thereby remaining adamant about not changing its focus priority from its primary GPU roadmap.
The analyst said that the company&#8217;s Client business continues to look solid as AMD gains market share momentum in both the Desktop and Notebook markets.
At a high level, for 2025, AMD is forecasting its PC TAM to grow by a mid-single-digit percentage year-on-year. However, based on the breadth of its client CPU portfolio and strong design win momentum, the company expects to grow its Client segment revenue well ahead of the market.
While the company expects its Client business to see normal first-quarter softer seasonality, in 2025, it is benefiting from its first win at Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) in the commercial client space.
In the server market, AMD continues to benefit from the strong adoption of its Gen 4 and new Gen 5 designs.
The company is seeing its EPYC processors gaining traction thanks to Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), Dell, and Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).
Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Amazon Web Services, Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) launched over 100 AMD general-purpose and AI instances in just the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, EPYC CPU sales grew by a strong double-digit percentage annually, thanks to high-volume deployments with ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>), Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), and others. Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) exclusively used MI300X to power their Llama 405B frontier model on meta.ai.
Microsoft leveraged MI300X to power multiple GPT-4-based Copilot services.
With over 100 customer engagements in AI, AMD expanded its ROCm software suite.
International Business Machines Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), DigitalOcean Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOCN#NYSE">DOCN</a>), and several other AI-focused Cloud Service Providers have begun deploying AMD Instinct accelerators for new instances. IBM also announced plans to enable MI300X on their watsonx.ai and data platform for training and deploying enterprise-ready generative AI applications.
AMD began volume production of MI325X in the fourth quarter. MI325 delivers significant performance and TCO advantages compared to competitive offerings, including H100.
AMD has passed key milestones and received unconditional regulatory approvals regarding its acquisition of ZT Systems. Additionally, AMD expects to divest ZT Systems&#8217; data center infrastructure production capabilities.
While industry capacity will likely remain tight, AMD noted it has successfully secured sufficient wafer capacity to support its customers&#8217; planned ramps through the end of this year and into 2026.
Price Action: AMD stock is up 1.10% at $114.35 at the last check on Tuesday.

Wall Street Bounces Back: Top-Performing ETFs Of Last Week

Late investor Jim Simons&#8216; fund Renaissance Technologies LLC made some significant changes within its artificial intelligence bets during the fourth quarter of 2024. The 13F SEC filings reveal that Renaissance increased its stake in a few Asia-based AI companies during the quarter.
What Happened: Mathematician <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38431687/jim-simons-a-math-professor-became-one-of-the-most-successful-investors-of-all-time-now-he-shares-hi">Simons</a> who died in May 2024 achieved remarkable success in finance by founding the quantitative hedge fund Renaissance Technologies. The key changes in its fourth-quarter holdings are as follows.
<ul>
<li>Renaissance cut its stake in Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) by 41% but its position in value terms increased by $294.4 million or 21% during the said quarter.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The fund sold all 304,140 shares of Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), exiting the company as the company underwent a 10-for-1 stock split in mid-quarter, which lowered the price per share but increased the number of shares. The fund repurchased about $1.637 million of the new class of shares valued at $49.898 million.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The company increased its stake in Asian AI plays like Alibaba Group Holding ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 209%, Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) by 92% and JD.Com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) by a staggering 1331%.</li>

Why It Matters: As of its fourth quarter filings, the hedge fund had 3,533 holdings with a total value of $67.553 billion as per its 13F filings. 
Simons in an old conversation had revealed the key to Renaissance Technologies&#8217; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38431687/jim-simons-a-math-professor-became-one-of-the-most-successful-investors-of-all-time-now-he-shares-hi">staggering returns</a>.
&#8220;My algorithm has always been you get smart people together. You give them a lot of freedom,&#8221; Simons explained in a <a href="https://alphaarchitect.com/2015/06/james-simons-transcript-quantitative-finance-and-building-a-firm/">transcript</a> of his old interview. 
His words offer a glimpse into the inner workings of the famously secretive and astoundingly successful Medallion Fund. Managed exclusively for Renaissance employees, the fund has achieved near-mythical status in the finance world due to its unprecedented performance. This exclusivity, coupled with its consistent outperformance, has fueled both intrigue and admiration from investors worldwide.
Simons&#8217; final ingredient for building a multi-billion dollar empire is to ensure everyone has a vested interest. &#8220;Make everyone partners,&#8221; he advised. In short, Simons&#8217; Renaissance Technologies model rests on four pillars: brilliant minds, a collaborative environment, cutting-edge infrastructure, and shared ownership.

Jim Simons' Renaissance Technologies Makes AI Moves: Sells Big Tech, Buys Chinese Stocks, Robinhood In Q4

The shares of Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) rose 4.8% during the pre-market trading session on Tuesday amid positive sentiment ahead of its annual report filing deadline on Feb 25. The shares are also rising following its upbeat FY2026 revenue projection last week.
What Happened: Super Micro Computer&#8217;s stock rise is largely due to the company&#8217;s FY2026 revenue projection of $40 billion, a 70% increase from FY2025, which surpassed analysts&#8217; expectations. This bullish outlook comes despite the company missing its second-quarter results and providing a less-than-stellar FY2025 guidance. The company is currently under legal scrutiny following allegations of accounting manipulation and sanctions evasion. However, the company&#8217;s CEO, Charles Liang, expressed confidence that they will meet the February 25 deadline for filing the delayed annual report.

CEO Charles Liang expressed confidence in the future operations of SMCI: "With our leading direct-liquid cooling (DLC) technology and over 30% of new data centers expected to adopt it in the next 12 months, Supermicro is well positioned to grow AI infrastructure design wins based on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell and more."
