Create your account →Broken: Primary pillar broken — Sustain positive EPS near $0.72 in Q3 2026: EPS guidance $0.94 vs target $0.65.
Supermicro grows revenue to about $40 billion in 2026, driven by AI demand. The order book holds over $13 billion in Blackwell Ultra orders. EPS improved to $0.72 in Q3 2026, showing better profits. The company leads in AI and datacenter infrastructure.
The $7 billion capital raise may hurt growth and investor confidence. Management changes and legal issues raise risks. Profit margins and cash flow remain fragile amid market selloff.
The stock trades about 48% below our $51 fair value, reflecting a 55% revenue growth expectation. Our fair value is 28% above the Street median, indicating some optimism priced in. We see risk from funding needs and margin pressure.
Breaks if: Capital raise causes revenue or margin decline below guidance
Breaks if: EPS falls below $0.5 per share next quarter
Order book falls below $10 billion
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a durable compounder with a focus on AI and datacenter infrastructure. The current thesis state is intact, supported by strong recent financial performance, though management execution remains volatile.
The market currently prices SMCI as cheap compared to its peers, with a notable expectations gap. However, the fragility of earnings quality suggests that the market is cautious about potential execution risks.
Fundamentals are likely to show continued improvement in profitability, as evidenced by rising earnings per share and operating income. However, the company's recent momentum has declined, indicating potential challenges ahead.
The thesis hinges on the performance of sector bellwethers like DELL, ANET, and SNDK. If these companies continue to perform well, it could support SMCI's growth; conversely, any negative guidance from them could impact SMCI adversely.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Company momentum rose by 40.7 points (from 33.9 to 74.6).
Company quality rose by 9.8 points (from 66.6 to 76.4).
Composite insight rose by 11.0 points (from 16.9 to 27.9).

Grow the order book and revenue contribution from Blackwell Ultra AI infrastructure solutions.
Stated as a priority in 3 of last 5 quarters. Management highlights a $13 billion Blackwell Ultra order book contributing to expected fiscal 2026 revenue of at least $36 billion. While specific revenue from Blackwell Ultra is not separately disclosed, the order book expansion indicates progress consistent with stated priority.
“With a rapidly expanding order book, including more than $13B in Blackwell Ultra orders, we expect at least $36 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2026.”
“We made solid progress in FY25 by growing our AI solution leadership in Neoclouds, CSPs, Enterprises, and Sovereign entities.”
“We continue to make great progress with our DCBBS and AI technology leadership.”
Breaks if: Revenue falls below $33 billion in FY 2026
Continue growing revenue to reach $40 billion in fiscal year 2026, driven by expanding order book and AI infrastructure demand.
Over the next 1 to 3 years, SMCI's performance will depend on its ability to navigate sector challenges and maintain strong execution. Not investment advice.
Row flagged provisional (some sub-scores became unavailable).
Yes, our read has strengthened. The company is expanding its AI and datacenter leadership. It also maintained positive EPS guidance and improved profitability. There are no new threats to the thesis.
