On Thursday, Goldman Sachs adjusted its outlook on Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) by increasing the price target to $40 from the previous $36, while keeping a Neutral stance on the company’s stock.

According to InvestingPro data, the stock is currently trading at $51.11, with analyst targets ranging from $15 to $93, suggesting significant market uncertainty.
