Read MoreHide Full Article
Super Micro Computer (SMCI - Free Report) is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter 2023 results on May 2.
Per the preliminary financial information announced by SMCI, fiscal third-quarter’s revenues were $1.28 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $1.38 billion, indicating growth of 1.4% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported value.
The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.68 per share, indicating growth of 8.4% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported value. The consensus mark has decreased by 16.8% in the past seven days.
SMCI’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average being 7.8%.
SMCI’s strength in new edge platforms, growing traction among customers across the world and increasing design wins are likely to have aided its performance during the fiscal third quarter.
Further, an expanding portfolio and deepening focus on developing products ideal for AI workloads, 5G telco applications and accelerated storage systems are likely to have benefited SMCI’s performance in the quarter under review.
Additionally, increasing demand for the energy-efficient rack-scale plug-n-play Total IT Solutions and the company’s green computing methodology is expected to have boosted SMCI’s revenues during the to-be-reported quarter.
Growing investments in data center management software, switch and service are likely to have benefited its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Additionally, SMCI’s solid momentum across more Large Datacenters, Enterprise, AI/ML, Storage, Cloud, 5G/Telco and IOT markets are likely to have contributed well.
Moreover, cost efficiencies from the online B2C and B2B programs are likely to have contributed as well.
This apart, the company’s launch of a new product portfolio featuring recently launched Intel 4th Gen Scalable Xeon processors (Sapphire Rapids), 4th Gen AMD EPYC (Genoa) processors and NVIDIA H100 (Hopper) GPUs is expected to have boosted its revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
The wide adoption of SMCI’s GPU/AI systems and rack-scale Total IT Solutions with the new generation of products is also likely to have aided its performance during the fiscal third quarter.
However, macroeconomic headwinds, supply-chain challenges and mounting expenses are expected to have hurt SMCI’s profitability in the quarter under review.
