Super Micro Issues $65B–$72B FY2027 Guide After Blockbuster Quarter

Strong AI‑server demand underpins the outlook with auditors and markets set to assess whether the company’s backlog, margins and financing will convert to cash.

Overview

  • The company, which reported results Tuesday, posted roughly $11.1 billion in fiscal Q4 revenue, adjusted EPS of $1.70 and a gross margin near 17.5%.
  • Management said it received more than $60 billion in new orders and entered fiscal 2027 with a record backlog that helped justify its $65 billion to $72 billion full‑year revenue guide.
  • Super Micro gave Q1 revenue guidance of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion and plans to raise up to $7 billion through equity‑linked financing to fund its AI expansion.
  • Analysts and investors cheered the report with several firms raising price targets, though some warned that the Q4 margin jump may not be sustainable and pointed to a lower midpoint margin guide for Q1.
  • Regulatory and verification risks remain because the DOJ indicted a co‑founder in April and the company is conducting an independent review, so auditors’ checks of backlog conversion and cash flow will be critical next steps.
