Raymond James sets $41 target on Super Micro stock

On Monday, Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James initiated coverage on Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), issuing an Outperform rating with a price target of $41.00. The firm’s analysis highlighted Super Micro’s position as a market leader in AI-optimized infrastructure, noting that AI platforms now account for nearly 70% of the company’s revenue. With a market capitalization of $20 billion and impressive revenue growth of 82% year-over-year, Super Micro, also known as Supermicro, has been expanding its share of the branded AI server market. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock is currently trading below its Fair Value.

The coverage by Raymond James points out Supermicro’s significant role in engineering and manufacturing scale, allowing it to compete effectively in the industry. InvestingPro data reveals the company operates with relatively weak gross profit margins of 11.3%, though it maintains a healthy financial position with a current ratio of 6.66x. Despite facing intermediate-term challenges such as tariffs and technology transitions, including the shift from NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s Hopper to Blackwell processors, analysts believe that AI projects will continue to be a long-term secular driver for the company’s growth.

The company’s valuation, as per Raymond James, is influenced by a mix of factors including lumpy performance and reputational risks. These elements have contributed to a cautious valuation approach, reflected in the price target based on 11 times the firm’s estimated CY2026 earnings per share (EPS). The stock currently trades at a P/E ratio of 17.3x, and InvestingPro analysis indicates high price volatility, with the stock ranging between $17.25 and $101.40 over the past 52 weeks.
