Shares may not entice value-conscious investors, with the current 33.1X forward earnings multiple (F1) residing on the higher end of the spectrum. Still, investors haven’t minded forking up the premium given SMCI’s strong growth trajectory, with earnings forecasted to climb 100% in its current fiscal year (FY23) on 33% higher revenues.
Bottom Line
Stocks had a great July, with earnings season helping to keep sentiment lifted and a resilient economy providing further positivity.
