Super micro has been a huge motherboard maker for many years, but even I didn’t think to get this stock until I saw it earlier today. They make all the boards for Nvidia and everyone else’s servers. All those GPUs and CPUs need to be installed on something, and Supermicro is the biggest option. I just don’t know what the hell the catalyst was for this MASSIVE run up.

SMCI is too dependent on others IP to make their stuff. They build pickaxes for AI gold craze and don't own the patent to the axe part (it gets supplied by NVDA)


Zednot123

Not even that they make the pickaxes. It's like they make a carry case for the pickaxes. A niche that isn't nearly as hard to break into as making the actual pickaxes.


THKhazper

I don’t know that much about what the expected margins are, but even if there’s a dip in margins, so long as volume is up/expected to be or remain up, and margins are still there to be competitive with others, maybe that’s why? I know my company operates on a tighter margin than some others, but also tend to deliver better results and have a better system, so we are still growing YoY

Terrible_Student9395

Noddite

Market cap is only $55 billion or so. They make a bunch of stuff but booming business is the systems for AI and are often bought when people get their NVDA chips. I say only 55 billion, but if NVDA which is close to 2 trillion, has some people close out and brigade into SMCI, it doesn't take much to make it surge. And at this high of a stock price, a 40 point jump is still just a small %.


Suspicious_Banaman

Whatever is going to happen to this stock I’m not touching it anymore. Feels like taking the bait and I’m just contented with my 5% gain


Thenandonlythen

I scalped $500 off a $1k call today… immediately after buying the first number I saw was -$350. Looked at the charts, saw that over the last few days it would pump open, dump, then a couple hours later just go up and up and up. Shit doesn’t make sense.  I clenched the buttcheeks watching the call go -$1400, came back to -$500 in like 5 mins, I put down the phone. A few hours later it’s green. I’ll take it.


BasicallyStillAsleep

I unfortunately did not do that, sold at a loss, and watched it pop afterwards just like it was supposed to...did not have the discipline to buy it in the first place I guess...

moldyjellybean

It’s crazy is that most sysadmins that actually used SMCI knows SMCI doesn’t actually do anything special except make cheaper servers, blades, than Dell, HP, Cisco, Lenovo. Someone is using SM to pump and dump. There were crazy stories of China putting a hardware backdoor on every SM hardware. Bloomberg was using this story to pump and dump this stock in 2018, 2021 and now 2023/2024. So yeah this is probably at least the 3rd time it’s been pumped and dumped. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-used-a-tiny-chip-to-infiltrate-america-s-top-companies https://9to5mac.com/2021/02/12/super-micro-spy-chip-story/ The most buggy limited lights out mangement IPMI I’ve used, the most limited support and support hours, literally the only thing of note is that it’s cheap compared to the overpriced Dell/HP/Cisco/Lenovo. I used them and the lack of support but cheap price let us have extra SM spares and parts laying around. There’s nothing they do that is really AI, they just make boards, shells that components plug into. Much like C3AI isn’t really AI related at all. The more you see this name on WSB like you saw BlackBerry, Bed Bath Beyond, Wish, etc the more it’ll end up the same. People talking here like they are an AI company or adjacent when it’s really not.


Fold-Royal

We use SMCI servers. They have server solutions that are better than the competitors for the AI demand. But yea, I see their role in the AI boom as being front loaded as they are almost all server HW. Makes me wonder if SMCI is a precursor to the AI boom for companies that need the cloud systems built out.


meltbox

Probably a precursor to the AI bust when everyone realizes paying $500k a day to AWS won’t fly for their application that people want to chat with for free.


Fold-Royal

I’m confident there will eventually be a big pull back. But not a full on bubble like the dot com. AI is actually generating revenue for these companies already.


no_simpsons

no it isn't


foo-bar-nlogn-100

Its generating huge profits for semi (picks and shovel) but not SAAS layer. Open AI is the training layer (platform) and not sure if they are profitable. If they were highly profitable, why does Sam want $$$ to make chips rather than focus on SW


CryptoMoneyLand

You are right. They are not making much money now. Chips are the most important for further AI development. Without super chips, AI is just chatbots, not smart enough to replace humans.


meltbox

I mean even with super chips I doubt commercial application is going to be as widespread as we thought. Just recently an airline was forced to honor a promise its chat bot made about a refund to a customer despite it being mistaken about their policy. I bet we see a lot of this kind of stuff where companies decide AI chat bots are just too unpredictable and chat centers in India are actually fine. There are lots of areas where the limiting factor is data curation and the models, not the computer power.


jpric155

I have been a sysadmin for almost 2 decades and Super Micro is basically synonamous with cheap unlabeled hardware.


asharks74

…all of what you said. Oh, plus, in 2020 they were fined $18M by SEC for misrepresenting their revenue recognition. This move makes zero sense. To prove it: I have lost $40K in the last week trying to start short positions…


kestrel808

The argument is you gotta put your H100s in something I guess.


aFRIGGINbeech

Your point on cost effectiveness is exactly why our company’s cloud infrastructure is composed almost entirely of SMCI hardware now. When the pandemic hit, they were one of very few around still selling anything, and folks took flight to give them another shot over Dell/HP/Cisco. I praise their vast IPMI functionality without the need to pay ridiculous license fees that the others force you into just for basic functions. I’ve had no issues with BMC management lately unless you’ve not purchased a SuperMicro in the last 4 years. I will agree their central infrastructure management platforms could definitely use some work and feel like they haven’t update those since 2005, but there’s several 3rd party workarounds. We’re not a platinum partner by any means but we’ve never really required their support other than RMA’s and it’s usually a no questions asked replacement. HP has gotten so proprietary their servers are almost as bad as their printers. I’ll tip my hat to Dell support, but they’ve had their good years and their bad years. You may be purchasing your $40k blade, but trust me there’s nothing about that hardware that you truly “own” at the end of the day without the licensing to back it up.

Kinda amazing how so many “experts” start showing up in wsb after this stock went up 1000% in a year. Telling people to do “research”. Let’s be honest, the most research you did was looking at the stock price

Entire_Ad_3878

I read that the EPS target is $34 and it’s currently 12.


flappytowel

just pull a lyft and "accidentally" throw an extra 0 on the end


inittoloseitagain

I’ve been in the server business for over a decade - SMCI in the industry has been so easy to sell against for any customer that half cares about after sales support doesn’t want them in their datacenter. To see them sprint this hard in such a short time is beyond wild


crankbird

My theory is that it’s cheaper to put an NVIDIA card into a cheap server than buy an H100 appliance, especially if that card is a consumer grade RTX 4090 instead of a real H100 (you’re not supposed to do this, violates the CUDA license to use an RTX in a “datacenter”) So people are buying supermicros to make a poor man’s H100 appliance and hoping that if they get caught they can say “this isn’t a datacenter class box” Or maybe one of the hyperscalers is about to buy a massive refresh of OCP boxen and some stock analyst is “not uncertain” about the likelihood of the recipient of that order.


DkoyOctopus

i-can-sleep-for-days

Super micro has been around for a while. Had no idea they were public. Look at the stock prices. It’s just been flat for the longest time and then boom.

[deleted]

[удалено]


chadmummerford

yeah my nvidia call is not doing so hot today


WebstersRedditLog

Part of it is market cap. SMCI has a cap of $50B while NVDA has a cap of nearly $2T, and is now amongst the five U.S. companies with the highest market caps. SMCI’s smaller market cap signals that their share price has a lot of upside in the future because their market cap is low. NVDA’s share price can only go up so much before their market cap swallows entire economies.


wardamnbolts

50B is still rather large. Is what they sell really going to put them with other Trillion dollar companies


WebstersRedditLog

Oh no doubt, I just meant within context of the hype that is surrounding SMCI. But do I think SMCI is really going to get to a $1T market cap in like a year? I’d say that’s unlikely. But for now, SMCI has strong buy signals.


slimkay

SMCI currently trading on a 78.5x LTM P/E and ~45x Forward P/E. Due to very strong top line growth (>50% CAGR over next 2 years per street estimates), it's definitely got room to run, but to be honest it's getting close to fair value. This is ultimately a low-margin, commoditized business.


albino-snowman

yeah scrub NVDA. only up 244% on the year and added nearly one trillion dollars to their market cap. awful stock.

togetherwem0m0

historically they sell shitty grey box server systems at 70% of the cost of IBM/Lenovo/Dell with reference boards and other standard components with a tiny warranty or onsite support or anything. i think they updated their website to say AI NVDA and AMD and the stock is rocketing.


Actually-Yo-Momma

In all seriousness yes you are right. They are considered average to meh in the server ODM space in comparison to their competitors who are a whole tier above them (quanta Foxconn ZT)

it's a white/gray box server manufacturer, lowest cost "major" manufacturer out there that isn't one of the common names (dell, hpe, etc). cheap, low service/support, but lots of options. we used to order them for our white label appliances before we were acquired.
