Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Cuts 2025 Revenue Outlook After Disappointing Q2 Results

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) saw its stock drop over 3% in after-hours trading Tuesday after lowering its full-year revenue guidance and reporting preliminary Q2 results that missed Wall Street estimates.

For fiscal 2025, SMCI now expects revenue between $23.5 billion and $25 billion, down from its previous forecast of $26 billion to $30 billion. The revised outlook reflects weaker-than-expected performance in the latest quarter.

For the three months ending December 31, the company anticipates non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.58 to $0.60 on revenue between $5.6 billion and $5.7 billion. These figures fell short of analyst projections of $0.61 EPS and $5.89 billion in revenue.

The lower-than-expected results and guidance revision signal potential headwinds for the high-performance computing and AI server manufacturer. Investors reacted negatively to the news, sending SMCI shares lower in extended trading.

SMCI has been a key player in AI-driven infrastructure, benefiting from the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. However, the latest earnings miss raises concerns about potential slowdowns in demand or supply chain challenges.

With tech sector earnings in focus, analysts will closely monitor SMCI’s next earnings report to gauge its growth trajectory.
