Is Super Micro Computer Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for June 2025?
In mid-May, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) unveiled its Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS). The turnkey system is engineered to accelerate the establishment of liquid-cooled AI data centers while optimizing cost-efficiency. Set for deployment within three months, the solution brings together precision manufacturing, advanced management software, full-spectrum on-site services, and global reach. According to CEO Charles Liang, DCBBS goes the whole nine yards, from mapping out data center layouts to configuring network topologies and power backups. It is crafted to simplify operations and speed up AI infrastructure development. Customers could slash power usage by up to 40%, shrink data center footprint by 60%, and cut water use by 40%, driving a 20% drop in total cost of ownership. With this catalyst in mind, how should investors approach SMCI stock for June 2025? About Super Micro Stock San Jose, California-based Super Micro Computer (SMCI) has carved a solid niche in high-performance server and storage solutions, all anchored in modular and open architecture. With a market cap of $25 billion, the firm offers everything from rack mount and blade server systems to essential components that form the digital bedrock of today's enterprises. Super Micro shares have had a volatile trajectory. They are up more than 1,300% over the past five years, but have been halved over the past 52 weeks. The last month has been slightly more positive with a gain of 14%. Super Micro Misses on Q3 Earnings Super Micro's fiscal Q3 2025 painted a somber picture on May 6, as the firm came up short of Wall Street's expectations. Revenue for the quarter grew 19.5% year over year to $4.6 billion, well below analysts' consensus estimate of $5.4 billion. Non-GAAP net income plummeted by more than 50% to $194 million, with non-GAAP EPS more than halved to $0.31, missing the $0.50 projection by a wide margin. This disappointing result, however, did not catch many off guard. Late April had already seen Supermicro send up warning flares with its preliminary report. Much of the shortfall was chalked up to ' delayed customer-platform decisions, ' which, according to CEO Charles Liang, are not lost opportunities but merely postponed ones. He emphasized that many of these commitments are set to materialize in the June and September quarters, hinting that the company's long-term trajectory remains intact. Looking ahead, the company has set its Q4 revenue guidance between $5.60 billion and $6.40 billion, with non-GAAP EPS expected to range from $0.40 to $0.50. For fiscal 2025, it now anticipates revenue between $21.80 billion and $22.60 billion. In May, Supermicro also sealed a $20 billion multi-year deal with DataVolt to deploy AI server systems across Saudi Arabia and the U.S. The deal is monumental. Technology upgrades, including its direct liquid cooling platform, show that Supermicro is not resting on its laurels. Although fiscal Q4 2025 EPS is expected to fall 36.4% to $0.35 and full-year 2025 EPS by 13.9% to $1.73, analysts see a rebound next year, forecasting a 36.4% jump to $2.36 in fiscal 2026. What Do Analysts Expect for Super Micro Stock? Wall Street's verdict on the stock paints a nuanced picture, with the consensus settling at a 'Moderate Buy.' Out of 15 analysts, four are ringing the bell with a 'Strong Buy.' Meanwhile, three analysts lean toward a 'Moderate Buy.' On the sidelines, six prefer to stay put with a 'Hold,' while only two caution with a 'Strong Sell' stance. The Street-high target of $100 signals a possible surge of 143% from current levels.

Supermicro's DLC-2, the Next Generation Direct Liquid-Cooling Solutions, Aims to Reduce Data Center Power, Water, Noise, and Space, Saving on Electricity Cost by up to 40%, and Lowering TCO by up to 20%
Up to 40% power savings of data center Faster time-to-deployment and reduced time-to-online by providing end-to-end liquid-cooling solution Up to 40% reduced water consumption with warm water cooling now available at an inlet temperature of up to 45°C, reducing the necessity of chillers Enabling quiet data center operation at ~50dB SAN JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a Total IT Solution Provider for AI/ML, HPC, Cloud, Storage, and 5G/Edge, is announcing several improvements to its Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) solution that incorporate new technologies for cooling various server components, accommodate warmer liquid inflow temperatures, and introduce innovative mechanical designs that enhance AI per watt. The Supermicro DLC-2 solution reduces data center power consumption by up to 40% compared to air-cooled installations. These advanced technologies enable faster deployment and reduced time-to-online for cutting-edge liquid-cooled AI infrastructure. Additionally, the total cost of ownership decreases by up to 20%. The comprehensive cold plate coverage of components allows for lower fan speeds and fewer required fans, significantly reducing data center noise levels to approximately 50dB. "With the expected demand for liquid-cooled data centers rising to 30% of all installations, we realized that current technologies were insufficient to cool these new AI-optimized systems," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro. "Supermicro continues to remain committed to innovation, green computing, and improving the future of AI, by significantly reducing data center power and water consumption, noise, and space. Our latest liquid-cooling innovation, DLC-2, saves data center electricity costs by up to 40%." For more information, please visit Supermicro aims to save 20% of data center costs and apply DLC-2 innovations as part of data center building block solutions to make liquid-cooling more broadly available and accessible. A significant component of the new liquid-cooling architecture is a GPU-optimized Supermicro server, which includes eight NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and two Intel® Xeon® 6 CPUs, all in just 4U of rack height. This system is designed to support increased supply coolant temperatures. This unique and optimized design incorporates cold plates for CPUs, GPUs, memory, PCIe switches, and voltage regulators. This design reduces the need for high-speed fans and rear-door heat exchangers, thereby lowering cooling costs for the data center. The new Supermicro DLC-2 solution stack supports the new 4U front I/O NVIDIA HGX™ B200 8-GPU system, and the in-rack Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) has an increased capacity of removing 250kW of heat generated per rack. The Supermicro DLC-2 solution also utilizes vertical coolant distribution manifolds (CDMs) to remove hot liquid and return cooler liquid to the servers for the entire rack. The reduced rack space requirements enables more servers to be installed, increasing computing density per unit of floor space. The vertical CDM is available in various sizes, precisely matching the number of servers installed in the rack. The entire DLC-2 solution stack is fully integrated with Supermicro SuperCloud Composer® software for data center-level management and infrastructure orchestration. The efficient liquid circulation and nearly full liquid-cooling heat capture coverage, at up to 98% per server rack, allow for an increase in the inlet liquid temperature at up to 45°C. The higher inlet temperature eliminates the need for chilled water, chiller compressor equipment cost, and additional power usage, saving up to 40% of data center water consumption. Combined with liquid-cooled server racks and clusters, DLC-2 also offers hybrid cooling towers as well as water towers as part of data center building blocks. The hybrid cooling towers combine the features of standard dry and water towers into a single design. This is especially beneficial in data center locations with strong seasonal temperature variation to reduce usage of resources and costs further. Supermicro serves as a comprehensive one-stop solution provider with global manufacturing scale, delivering data center-level solution design, liquid-cooling technologies, networking, cabling, a full data center management software suite, L11 and L12 solution validation, onsite deployment, and professional service and support. With production facilities across San Jose, Europe, and Asia, Supermicro offers unmatched manufacturing capacity for liquid-cooled rack systems.
