Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Common Stock

Super Micro Computer Inc

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) stock is trading higher amid overall market strength after President Donald Trump said he had no intention of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
The Details: According to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/trump-says-he-has-no-intention-of-firing-fed-chair-powell-eda4c6a7">Wall Street Journal</a>, Trump told reporters he wants Powell to "be a little more active in terms of his idea to lower interest rates," but added, "no, I have no intention to fire him." This comes after Trump wrote on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114376239725335883">Truth Social</a> Monday that Powell has always been "Too Late" on interest rate decisions.
Trump made similar threats toward the Fed during his first term. In December 2018, he threatened to fire Powell as the Fed raised interest rates.
More recently, Trump told reporters he believes he has the authority to fire Powell, saying, "If I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast, believe me," though Powell has expressed a differing view on the matter.
Super Micro, along with the broader semiconductor sector, may be moving higher as Trump&#8217;s comments ease investor uncertainty around Fed leadership and fuel market optimism.
What Else: The Trump administration is also considering lowering tariffs on Chinese goods, which currently reach as high as 145%, in an effort to ease tensions in the U.S. trade relationship with China, per the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/white-house-considers-slashing-china-tariffs-to-de-escalate-trade-war-6f875d69">Wall Street Journal.</a>
Although no final decision has been made, a senior White House official said tariffs are likely to be reduced to between 50% and 65%. Trump stated that the final rate won&#8217;t be 0%.
The administration may also adopt a tiered approach, with tariff rates varying based on what is deemed strategic to America's interests.
This news may be lifting Super Micro, and the chip industry, as a potential tariff reduction could ease investor concerns around trade and supply chain disruptions, which has been weighing on the sector.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Super Micro Computer shares are trading lower after JP Morgan cut its price target on the stock from $45 to $39.

Defiance ETFs has bolstered its portfolio of leveraged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">single-stock ETFs</a>.
Two new products debuted last week: the Defiance Daily Target 2X Long RGTI ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTX#NASDAQ">RGTX</a>) and the Defiance Daily Target 2X Short SMCI ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCZ#NASDAQ">SMCZ</a>). They aim to provide traders with leveraged, tactical access to two of the market&#8217;s most story-oriented tech stocks.
RGTX provides 2x daily leveraged exposure to quantum computing player Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>). This ETF is designed for investors looking for amplified upside potential in a hot and early-stage theme. Conversely, SMCZ provides 2x inverse exposure to Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), a soaring AI infrastructure stock, for those interested in tactically hedging or profiting from possible pullbacks.

Speaking to Defiance ETFs CEO Sylvia Jablonski helped us understand the strategic timing and thematic underpinnings behind these launches.
"We're seeing significant investor interest in expressing tactical views on high-beta, thematically relevant stocks," Jablonski said. 
Rigetti represents early-stage exposure to quantum computing, while Super Micro is one of the most talked-about AI infrastructure names. These ETFs give traders precision tools to either amplify bullish conviction or tactically hedge in a highly narrative-driven market."
Rigetti, while yet to enter the late innings of quantum growth, is one of a handful of pure-play public plays in the field.
<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/04/01/3053097/0/en/defiance-launches-rgtx-2x-leveraged-etf-for-rigetti-computing-inc.html">RGTX</a>, as named by Jablonski, enables investors to &#8220;express outsized conviction&#8221; in a ticker that may proportionally gain the most from the next round of speculative thematic rotation—especially with attention piquing on what may follow AI as the next big tech disruption.
Conversely, <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/04/01/3053305/0/en/defiance-launches-smcz-2x-short-etf-for-super-micro-computer-inc.html">SMCI </a>has skyrocketed in 2024 on the strength of AI-driven demand for high-performance computing. But its astronomical ascent has also generated doubts. 
&#8220;We noticed a growing chorus of investors seeking to hedge or fade what they view as overextended price action,&#8221; Jablonski said. The SMCZ ETF is geared toward those anticipating mean reversion or earnings-driven volatility without the hassle of shorting.
Jablonski highlighted the fact that ETFs fit within the larger macro theme: &#8220;Both products capture distinct investor behaviors: chasing early-stage innovation (RGTX) and hedging against frothy AI sentiment (SMCZ).&#8221; In a market characterized by uncertainty around rates and high-volatility tech, leveraged ETFs provide weapons to trade rotating themes with accuracy and agility.
While acknowledging concerns about leveraged product suitability in an environment where rate cuts may be delayed further, Jablonski stressed that RGTX and SMCZ are geared toward sophisticated, short-term traders. &#8220;These names will likely continue to exhibit extreme sensitivity to macro signals. While delayed cuts may compress valuations, volatility creates both opportunity and risk. Leveraged ETFs like RGTX and SMCZ are tools designed for short-term traders navigating exactly this environment of heightened uncertainty and rotating narratives.&#8221;
During the first week of trading, Defiance has closely followed liquidity, volume, and correlation to volatility. Jablonski reported &#8220;strong trader interest and responsive price action,&#8221; indicating genuine hunger for strategic positioning in both quantum computing and AI infrastructure stories.
As AI starts to age and gain valuation worries, quantum computing may be next in vogue for speculative investor interest. &#8220;Quantum computing sits at that intersection of scientific ambition and speculative upside,&#8221; Jablonski stated. &#8220;While the technology is early, public names like Rigetti offer rare, liquid access to a transformational theme—and traders want optionality on that.&#8221;

Shares of semiconductor, electronics and hardware stocks are trading higher after the Trump administration excluded a range of technology products, including consumer electronics from the 145% reciprocal tariffs bucket.

The shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>),&nbsp;Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) climbed during the Monday pre-market trading session as the Trump administration offered a tariff reprieve to the tech industry.
What Happened: President Donald Trump has excluded a range of technology products, including certain consumer electronics made in China, from the reciprocal tariffs. The list of exemptions, released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, effectively reduces the scope of the imposed levies.
The exclusions apply to smartphones, laptops, hard drives, and computer processors and memory chips, shielding them from Trump's proposed 125% tariff on Chinese goods and the baseline 10% global tariff on most other countries. This move provides significant, albeit potentially temporary, relief for global tech giants such as Apple and Nvidia.
The shares of Apple and SMCI climbed 5.37% and 5.31%, respectively, while AMD and Nvidia rose 2.36% and 2.24%, each during the pre-market session.

Why It Matters: The exclusions were included in the original order to prevent additional tariffs on specific sectors from piling up on top of the nationwide rates. This implies that these products may soon face a different tariff structure, likely a reduced rate for China. 
However, this tariff relief could be temporary. This move comes on the heels of President Trump&#8217;s announcement that he would reveal the tariff rate on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44782569/trump-to-unveil-semiconductor-tariff-plan-this-week-signals-flexibility-on-tech-exemptions">imported semiconductors</a> in the coming week amid an investigation into semiconductors as per Section 232 trade law. According to a report by Reuters, Trump emphasized the desire to manufacture semiconductors domestically, suggesting a potential shift in the administration&#8217;s trade policy.
Meanwhile, President Trump emphasized on his Truth Social on Sunday that&nbsp;"NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook'"&nbsp;suggesting that tariffs and levies on tech products are essentially just being shifted to a different category.
