Bank of America Raises Supermicro Price Target Amid Record Revenue and AI Demand
Bank of America (BAC) has raised its price target for Supermicro (SMCI) to $39 from $38 following the company's record-breaking fiscal first-quarter results. Supermicro reported a massive 298% year-over-year revenue surge to $19.9 billion, driven largely by AI-related systems which now account for 71% of its total revenue. Consequently, the company raised its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook to a range of $72 billion to $82 billion. Despite the growth, Bank of America maintained an 'Underperform' rating due to significant concerns regarding profit margins and cash flow. Analysts noted that while gross margins improved year-over-year, they declined sequentially from 17.6% in fiscal Q4 2026 to 12.8% in fiscal Q1 2027. This compression is attributed to a shift toward large-scale AI data center projects which typically carry lower margins than traditional enterprise business.
