Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI | SMCI Price Prediction) has been one of the most whiplash-inducing AI infrastructure names in the market, and I think the setup into mid-2026 finally offers a clearer risk/reward. After a punishing pullback from $53.94 in October 2025 to today’s levels, the stock screens interesting again on the strength of a massive Blackwell Ultra order book and a raised FY2026 revenue floor.
Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for Super Micro Computer is $29.63, implying 10.75% upside from the current $26.75. Our recommendation is buy, with high confidence at 90%.

A Brutal Year, Then a March Reversal
SMCI is down 18.69% over the past year and 8.61% year to date, but shares have rebounded 20.33% in the last month.
The catalyst was Q2 FY2026, reported February 3, 2026: revenue of $12.68 billion (up 123.36% YoY) crushed the $10.34 billion consensus, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.69 beat the $0.49 estimate. CEO Charles Liang raised FY2026 revenue guidance to at least $40 billion, up from the prior $36 billion floor.
The Case for $40+
Bulls point to an order book Liang describes as including “more than $13B in Blackwell Ultra orders”, a jump from four large-scale datacenter customers in FY25 to six to eight in FY26, and expanding manufacturing across the US, Taiwan, and the Netherlands.
If SMCI executes on the raised $40 billion FY2026 target and margins stabilize, our bull case scenario points to $41.32 in 12 months, a 54.47% return. The Street’s consensus target of $33.20 splits the difference.
What Could Go Wrong
The bear thesis centers on margin compression. GAAP gross margin fell to 6.3% in Q2 FY2026 from 11.8% a year earlier. Total liabilities ballooned 502.01% YoY, with convertible notes up to $4.6 billion. Our bear case projects $24.52 over 12 months.
Counterfactual worth noting: bulls argue the compression reflects aggressive pricing to lock in hyperscaler Blackwell deployments, and net income still rose 24.94% YoY to $400.56 million. Insider activity also skews bullish, with 68 recent transactions net buying.
Why the Pullback Screens Attractive
My verdict: the 24/7 Wall St. price target of $29.63 and 90% confidence support a buy. The earnings beat, raised guide, and insider buying tip the scale. The thesis strengthens if management holds the $40 billion FY2026 floor, and weakens materially if GAAP gross margin drops below 6% again next quarter.
| Year | 24/7 Wall St. Price Target |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $29.63 |
| 2027 | $29.16 |
| 2028 | $32.16 |
| 2029 | $35.30 |
| 2030 | $37.32 |
These projections assume SMCI continues scaling DCBBS and direct liquid cooling revenue. Significant upside could come from sustained Blackwell Ultra demand; downside risk remains tied to margin execution on hyperscaler deals.
