Barclays has reinstated coverage on Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) with an Equal Weight rating and a price target of $59. The investment bank acknowledged SMCI's leadership in AI server technology and its direct liquid cooling systems, noting that the company is expected to be among the first to ship B200 HGX servers in March 2025. However, Barclays expressed concerns about the shrinking competitive moat for SMCI. Additionally, Goldman Sachs has raised its price target for SMCI to $40 from $36 while maintaining a Neutral rating, citing restored confidence in filing compliance but highlighting ongoing risks related to customer concentration. Mizuho has reiterated its Neutral rating, keeping its price target at $50, as SMCI has regained NASDAQ compliance but faces competitive pressures from companies such as Dell and Wistron. Amidst these developments, Super Micro's stock is projected to experience a nearly 30% loss for the week due to increasing competition in the AI server market.
