Key Takeaways
- Supermicro shares jumped Tuesday, adding to its recent run of volatility.
- After the server maker avoided potential delisting last month, one analyst reportedly called it a “show-me story.”
- AI stocks did well as a whole Tuesday, with Supermicro partner Nvidia among those ending the day higher.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares led the S&P 500 higher Tuesday as artificial intelligence stocks turned in a strong session.
The server maker’s stock closed 11% higher at $40.84, marking the latest big swing in a stretch of volatility. Supermicro’s shares rocketed last month after the company avoided possible delisting by submitting delayed financial reports, but the stock has fallen 10% in the weeks since even when Tuesday’s gains are accounted for.
Supermicro and other AI companies outperformed the broader market, which experienced a turbulent session amid political and economic uncertainty and ended lower. Shares of Supermicro partner Nvidia (NVDA) ended the day higher, as did chip designer Broadcom (AVGO) and AI analytics provider Palantir (PLTR).
Supermicro stock has risen by about a third in 2025, but it’s still worth more than 60% less than it was a year ago.
The company is a “show-me story” for analysts at Rosenblatt, which according to MarketWatch recently resumed coverage with a “buy” rating and $60 price target. Its share price could continue to rise if the company meets revenue projections and “as long as there are no more delayed filings,” the analysts reportedly said.
