Super Micro Computer reported fiscal 2025 server and storage revenues of $21.31 billion, up 50.2% year-over-year, driven by AI server deployments and rack-scale expansion. Bank of America maintained an Underperform rating with a $34 price target, citing persistent margin pressure despite strong AI demand.

1. Supermicro Schedules Q2 Fiscal 2026 Results Call

Super Micro Computer, Inc. has announced that it will host its second quarter fiscal 2026 financial results conference call on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time). Investors can access the live webcast through the company’s investor relations site and a replay will remain available for one year.

2. Bank of America Flags Margin Pressure Despite AI Server Demand

In a Thursday research note, Bank of America maintained an Underperform rating on Supermicro, setting a price target of $34 per share, slightly above the most recent closing level of $32.24. The analyst cited robust order volumes for AI servers and rack-scale solutions but warned that OEM component cost inflation and logistics constraints are likely to keep gross margins under pressure in the near term. Operating expenses were also highlighted as a key variable, as Supermicro scales up R&D for its next-generation liquid-cooling and switch-fabric systems.

3. Downgrade to Hold Highlights Operational Risks

A separate analyst downgrade lowered Supermicro to Hold, pointing to persistent shipment delays that have deferred a meaningful portion of first quarter fiscal 2026 revenue into the second quarter. While the company’s advanced liquid cooling offerings, rapid full-rack integration and an expanded global footprint—with a strategic Nvidia partnership—remain strong growth catalysts, the note emphasized that volatile execution and sub-10% net margins could undermine sustainability. The supply-driven nature of the current revenue guidance raises questions about underlying demand acceleration beyond catch-up shipments.

4. Server and Storage Revenues Surge 50.2% in Fiscal 2025

In its fiscal 2025 annual results, Supermicro reported that server and storage segment revenues climbed 50.2% year-over-year to $21.31 billion, driven primarily by AI-optimized configurations and increased adoption of rack-scale AI infrastructure. Management also provided a full-year fiscal 2026 outlook of approximately $36 billion in total revenue, reflecting continued expansion in AI/ML and edge computing markets as well as ongoing investments in in-house motherboard, power and chassis design capabilities.
