Trying again to eke its way beyond the resistance. Hold on, this may be the one.
Resistance currently at $42.50
So you are a bear?
SMCI 33 puts only 2 cents for this week...
so we watch...LJ
I have "Call" options on this ......... SMCI 260116C47. I'm down a tad on this so it's cheaper now. Now better call options are available. I should have gone with a lower strike price which would be more ITM. The strike 45 has a higher volume and Open Interest.
Huge news! I didn't see this. I am going to go check it out now. I like the path to recovery they have been on.

Man, this board has gone quiet. After an attempt to breakout, this fell back into a channel. Resistance now around $42.50 and it can't seem to reach it.
Meanwhile, Supermicro has now inked a "multi-year partnership agreement" with DataVolt, a leading Saudi data center company.
While the granular details of this agreement have not been made public, the deal is worth as much as $20 billion, and will see Supermicro supply high-density GPU platforms and rack-scale liquid cooling systems to DataVolt over a number of years.
According to Goldman Sachs, the deal could feasibly entail $5 billion in annual revenue and an annual EBIT of around $200 million for Supermicro, based on an assumed contract period of 5 years and a built-in margin of around 5 percent.
Also, Supermicro has now announced the DLC-2, its next-generation liquid-cooling technology that aims to deliver up to 40 percent savings in water and energy consumption for a given data center. The technology claims to reduce a data center's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by up to 20 percent.
Supermicro is able to achieve these savings by increasing the cold plate coverage of server components, allowing for a reduced number of fans operating at lower speeds.

We still agree on watching the chart...
Ugly looking right shoulder but the left shoulder

so we watch...LJ
Then we have Moody’s stepping on the enthusiasm in the market. Swell.
$47.75 HOD. If the market starts moving it could $50, though I wouldn’t bet money on it. As you said, As you said, there’s a sharp turnabout this is going.
Barring a total collapse of financial markets, I'll predict $50 next week and that's not much of a prediction. New revenue stream looks to boost EPS significantly. $50 today might be a bit of a reach though it's looking strong out of the gate.

Supermicro Rockets Higher on $20B Deal: Time to Buy SMCI Stock or Cash Out?
Super Micro Computer (SMCI), or Supermicro, is in the spotlight after announcing a massive $20 billion partnership with Saudi Arabian data center giant DataVolt. The news sent SMCI soaring, with the stock rising over 15% in morning trade on Wednesday, May 14. This significant deal not only boosts Supermicro’s growth prospects but also arrives at a crucial time, offering investors a reason to reconsider the stock despite recent struggles.
The multi-year agreement will see Supermicro supply ultra-dense GPU platforms and rack systems for DataVolt’s hyperscale AI campuses in Saudi Arabia and the United States. More importantly, the partnership allows Supermicro to expand its manufacturing capabilities while deepening its strategic ties in the global AI infrastructure market.
This announcement couldn’t have been more timely for a company that has faced intense scrutiny lately. Supermicro’s stock had been under considerable pressure due to a combination of negative headlines and disappointing financial results. Allegations of accounting manipulation, operational challenges, and a delayed annual filing had all weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The company avoided Nasdaq delisting by finally submitting its financials, but subsequent earnings results further pressured the stock.
Supermicro’s fiscal third-quarter results were a letdown, with revenues of $4.6 billion falling short of expectations. Management pointed to a pause in customer purchasing decisions as buyers hesitated between Nvidia’s (NVDA) Hopper GPUs and the next-generation Blackwell platform. This delay in AI infrastructure spending forced Supermicro to trim its full-year revenue guidance to a range of $21.8 billion to $22.6 billion, down from an earlier projection of $23.5 billion to $25 billion.
Despite these setbacks, the DataVolt partnership injects a fresh wave of optimism into Supermicro’s growth story. The deal reflects the robust demand for AI-driven GPU solutions and positions Supermicro as a key player in the global data center buildout. For investors, the long-term opportunity in AI infrastructure remains compelling, even if short-term uncertainties persist.
Supermicro’s business is aligned with the secular growth trends in AI computing. Today, AI GPU platforms contribute over 70% of the company’s total revenue, driven by strong demand from enterprise clients and cloud service providers. To meet this demand, Supermicro continues ramping production of its Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS), offering superior efficiency, lower power and water usage, and faster deployment for next-generation GPU systems.
A significant part of Supermicro’s edge comes from its leadership in green computing. The company’s advanced direct liquid cooling (DLC) technology has been a game-changer for data center efficiency. Last year, Supermicro shipped a significant number of high-power AI racks equipped with DLC technology. Its second-generation DLC-2 promises even better performance, further cementing Supermicro’s competitive advantage in the sustainable AI infrastructure market.
The company is also expanding its AI product portfolio and will offer the latest AI platforms from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nvidia. This broadening portfolio ensures Supermicro remains at the forefront of AI infrastructure innovation, positioning it to capture future growth opportunities.
On the global front, Supermicro is aggressively scaling its footprint. A new campus in Malaysia has begun shipping products, while facilities in Taiwan and Europe are ramping up operations. The company is also expanding its U.S. manufacturing capabilities to support key partners and government initiatives, fortifying its logistics network amid a challenging macroeconomic backdrop.
Is SMCI Stock a Buy or a Sell?
Supermicro has found itself at the heart of the AI infrastructure boom. Yet, recent market volatility and cautious spending from enterprise customers are casting a shadow over its near-term growth. Investors have seen the stock take a significant hit from its highs, raising concerns about its immediate prospects. However, stepping back from the noise, Supermicro’s long-term prospects remain solid.
While analysts maintain a “Hold,” the company’s leadership in DLC technology gives it a crucial edge as demand for energy-efficient AI data centers continues to rise. With a robust product pipeline and an aggressive global expansion strategy, Supermicro is well-positioned to capture a sizable share of the AI infrastructure market. These strengths suggest that SMCI stock is a solid long-term investment.
In the end, Supermicro’s $20 billion partnership with DataVolt could be the catalyst that reignites its growth trajectory and restores investor confidence.

Even with all the apocalyptic talk about SMCI’s report the stock is still higher than it was last Wednesday. I know eventually everything will crash in a big heap and some government will try to figure it out and will create money out of thin air to fix it. But it hasn’t happened and doesn’t seem imminent. I expect we’ll see a new bull arrive before the next crash.
