Supermicro lifts Q1 FY2027 revenue and margin outlook on AI platform demand

Super Micro Computer Inc. raised its preliminary first‑quarter fiscal 2027 revenue forecast to a range of $18.5 billion‑$19.5 billion, up from the prior $14.5 billion‑$15.5 billion guidance, citing stronger demand for AI platforms. The company also lifted its gross‑margin outlook to 12.0%‑12.5%, above the earlier 10.4%‑10.8% range. The updated guidance will be discussed on an earnings call scheduled for November 3, 2026.

The higher revenue and margin expectations increase the company’s near‑term earnings potential, which could lead to a re‑rating of its valuation by analysts (the company notes the figures are preliminary and subject to revision). Investors will watch the November 3 earnings call for final results that could affect the stock’s price.
