Super Micro Computer’s (SMCI - Free Report) server and storage revenues grew 50.2% year over year in fiscal 2025. The server and storage revenues surged from $6.5 billion in fiscal 2023 to $21.31 billion in fiscal 2025, indicating a massive growth driven by the rising demand for liquid and air-cooled GPU or PCIe-based AI Servers for training and inferencing.

In terms of revenue mix, the server and storage segment accounted for 92.2% of total revenues in fiscal 2023, increasing further to approximately 97% of the top line in fiscal 2025, highlighting the segment’s growing dominance within the company’s overall revenue base. Super Micro Computer’s high-performance and energy-efficient servers are gaining traction among AI data centers, HPC and hyperscalers.

Partnerships with vendors like NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices position Super Micro Computer to deliver the latest GPU-powered platforms, which remain in high demand among cloud providers and sovereign AI projects. Expansion in Europe, Asia and the Middle East offers additional growth avenues.

As the demand trend shifts toward rack-scale architecture, SMCI has planned to set up its upcoming facilities in the United States, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, and the Middle East to have explicitly designed rack-level production, not just server assembly. The existing demand trend has led SMCI to project that it will achieve $36 billion in total revenues in fiscal 2026, indicating a massive 64% year-over-year growth.

Moreover, the company has now entered the client-edge consumer AI markets. SMCI’s expertise in AI-optimized servers, GPUs, and energy-efficient system design will help it deliver powerful yet compact solutions for PCs, edge AI, and embedded applications, challenging the incumbents. SMCI has unveiled a broad AI portfolio spanning Super AI Station, Supermicro SYS-542T-2R, Supermicro AI PC, Supermicro Edge AI Systems and Supermicro's Fanless Compact Edge System, challenging the existing players in this market.
