Super Micro Computer Stock Plummets -22% With 5-Day Losing Streak
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) stock hit day 5 of a continuous streak of days with losses, with cumulative losses over this period amounting to a -22% return. The company has lost about $6.5 Bil in value over the last 5 days, with its current market capitalization at about $24 Bil. The stock remains 30.4% above its value at the end of 2024. This compares with year-to-date returns of 14.4% for the S&P 500.
Super Micro Computer’s recent streak saw shares slide as Q1 earnings missed estimates and gross margins notably tightened to 9.5%, signaling intensifying competition in AI server markets. While guidance for next quarter and the full year impressed, investors focused on current profitability pressures and cash flow strain, deferring optimism for its robust $13B NVIDIA Blackwell backlog. For quick background: SMCI provides high-performance modular server and storage solutions, including servers, blades, racks, and networking devices for enterprise data centers, cloud computing, AI, 5G, and edge computing markets.
What is the point? Sustained weakness can be more than noise. It often signals shifting sentiment or deeper concerns. A multi-day losing streak may warn of further downside, or present an opportunity to buy if fundamentals are intact. Our take: There is a near-equal mix of good and bad in SMCI stock given its overall Moderate operating performance and financial condition. This is aligned with the stock’s Moderate valuation because of which we think it is Fairly Priced. Deep dive with Buy or Sell SMCI.
