The company’s shares rose amid broader gains in the semiconductor industry, specifically after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) delivered blowout quarterly results earlier this week.

Street Consensus
Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on Super Micro Computer with a ‘Sell’ rating, giving it a price target of $26. The analyst said that there is limited visibility on the company improving its profitability despite its expectations for SMCI to be an AI server market leader in the medium term.
Meanwhile, Mizuho also lowered its price target on Super Micro Computer to $31 from $45 while maintaining a ‘Neutral’ rating on the shares, citing modest upside for semiconductor companies in 2026.
However, despite Wall Street’s stance, the semiconductor industry has been gaining significantly since TSMC posted results on Thursday, clocking a 20.5% increase in quarterly revenue and a whopping 35% surge in profit.
TSMC also increased its sales growth guidance close to 30% year-over-year and increased its 2026 capital expenditure by 37% to $56 billion, stoking expectations for strong growth across the semiconductor industry.
