May 5 - Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) is scheduled to post third-quarter fiscal 2025 results after the closing bell on Tuesday.
Wall Street is forecasting earnings of $0.43 per share on revenue of $5.05 billion. If met, that would reflect a 35% decline in profit even as revenue rises 31% from the same period last year.
The earnings preview follows a sharp guidance cut issued last week. The company trimmed its Q3 revenue forecast to $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion and sees adjusted EPS between $0.29 and $0.31. The revision was attributed to delayed customer purchasing decisions, which pushed some sales into the next quarter. Shares fell about 18% after the guidance revision on Wednesday.
Investors will watch closely for commentary on demand trends, customer behavior, and the company's AI server momentum during the post-earnings call.
In response to the reduced outlook, analysts have lowered their targets. Northland's Nehal Chokshi maintained a Buy rating but cut his price target to $70. Barclays and J.P. Morgan analysts also trimmed targets, citing limited visibility into 2025 AI infrastructure spending.
