On August 12, SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC rose 9.27% in pre-market trading, trading at $34.84/share, with turnover of $7.41 million. The surge follows the company's fiscal Q4 earnings release after the prior session's close, featuring profit and forward guidance that far exceeded market expectations.
The company reported fiscal Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.70, beating the analyst consensus of $0.62 by 174% and representing a 315% year-over-year increase. Gross margin reached 17.5%, nearly doubling year-over-year, driven by favorable customer and product mix. Net sales came in at $11.12 billion, up 93% year-over-year though slightly below the $11.6 billion estimate, with management citing short-term customer delays in power, cooling, and networking deployments.
The core catalyst for the rally is the forward guidance. Fiscal Q1 revenue is expected at $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion, approximately 25% above the $11.82 billion consensus. Adjusted EPS guidance of $1.01 to $1.10 exceeded estimates by over 40%. For fiscal year 2027, the company projected revenue of $65 billion to $72 billion versus the $52.99 billion consensus, reflecting sustained AI infrastructure demand. The CFO noted the number of customers contributing over $1 billion in annual revenue grew to 9 from 4 in the prior fiscal year.
