Goldman Sachs raises Super Micro stock target to $40

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. The decision comes after Super Micro Computer successfully filed its delayed annual report for Fiscal Year 2024 (F2024) and its quarterly reports for the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2025 (F1Q25/F2Q25). According to InvestingPro data, the stock is currently trading at $51.11, with analyst targets ranging from $15 to $93, suggesting significant market uncertainty. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently undervalued relative to its Fair Value.

Super Micro Computer announced that it is now up to date with its financial reporting requirements to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has not made any restatements to previously filed financial statements. The company has also received a notice from Nasdaq confirming that it has regained compliance with the exchange’s filing requirements, effectively resolving the issue. InvestingPro data reveals strong fundamentals with a current ratio of 6.38 and moderate debt levels, indicating solid financial health.

The firm acknowledged that it had identified weaknesses in its internal control processes and has since presented a plan to address and remediate these issues. In its recent disclosures, Super Micro Computer introduced a new significant customer, referred to as Customer G, which accounted for 31% of the company’s revenue in F2Q25. Despite these challenges, InvestingPro data shows impressive revenue growth of 125% over the last twelve months, with total revenue reaching $20.8 billion.

Goldman Sachs’ revised price target of $40 reflects a multiple of 10 times the next twelve months plus one (NTM+1) earnings per share (EPS), an increase from the previous 9 times. This change in the price target is based on a renewed confidence in Super Micro Computer’s ability to meet its medium-term revenue targets following the timely filing of its financial reports. The stock currently trades at a P/E ratio of 23.38, with analysts forecasting continued profitability and sales growth for the current year, according to InvestingPro analysis.

In other recent news, Super Micro Computer has reported preliminary financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, showing earnings per share (EPS) between $0.58 and $0.60, which fell short of both Goldman Sachs and consensus estimates. The company also provided guidance for the third quarter, predicting revenue between $5.0 billion and $6.0 billion, below the consensus estimate of $5.9 billion. Additionally, Super Micro revised its full-year fiscal 2025 revenue outlook downward to $23.5 billion to $25.0 billion from an earlier range of $26.0 billion to $30.0 billion. To support its ambitious revenue target of $40 billion for fiscal year 2026, the company has issued $700 million in convertible senior notes due in 2028.

Barclays (LON:BARC) analysts have raised their rating for Super Micro Computer to Equalweight, acknowledging the company’s strong position in the AI server market, while Loop Capital Markets increased their price target for the company to $70, maintaining a Buy rating. Despite these positive assessments, Goldman Sachs maintained a Neutral rating with a price target raised to $36. Super Micro has also announced the full production availability of its AI data center Building Block Solutions, powered by the NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) Blackwell platform. The company is actively working to file its delayed financial reports by February 25, 2025, to address governance and reporting issues.
