SMCI   Seeking Alpha — February 17, 2025

SMCI missed revenue estimates for the Dec'24 quarter and also revenue guidance estimates for Mar'25 and FY25. But I am bullish due to a 65% growth outlook for FY26. Margin erosion is a headwind and although there are positive catalysts ahead associated with new Blackwell products, I am unsure about whether those margin boosts would be permanent. Valuations have corrected sharply closer to longer-term averages. SMCI stock trades at a ~30% premium to those averages currently, but this is justified given >60% YoY growth ahead.
