Investing.com — Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) lifted its annual guidance on Monday, following its release of Q2 earnings that exceeded expectations. This positive performance is attributed to ongoing AI-led demand in the data center hardware sector.
The company's shares saw a significant pre-market increase of over 10% today.
Supermicro reported an EPS of $5.59, with revenue totaling $3.66 billion. These figures considerably surpassed analyst predictions of an EPS of $4.51 per share on revenue of $2.8B.
