Super Micro Computer

Super Micro Computer Inc provides high-performance server technology services to cloud computing, data centers, Big Data, high-performance computing, and the "Internet of Things" embedded markets. Its solutions include server, storage, blade, and workstations to full racks, networking devices, and server management software. The firm follows a modular architectural approach, which provides flexibility to deliver customized solutions. The Company operates in one operating segment that develops and provides high-performance server solutions based upon an innovative, modular, and open-standard architecture. More than half of the firm's revenue is generated in the United States, with the rest coming from Europe, Asia, and other regions.

Shares of Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) are trading marginally lower Tuesday afternoon as the market anticipates the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings report, scheduled for release after the closing bell next Tuesday. 
Investors are cautiously awaiting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/earnings">results</a>, which will be a key indicator of the company&#8217;s performance amid recent industry-wide challenges.
What To Know: The upcoming report follows a period of volatility for the server manufacturer. In recent weeks, the stock has been impacted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46559061/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-stock-6">news of a slowdown</a> in the massive &#8220;Stargate&#8221; AI supercomputer project, a joint venture involving SoftBank and OpenAI, which has created uncertainty for hardware suppliers. 
This adds to headwinds from the company&#8217;s third quarter, where it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45236823/super-micro-computer-stock-slips-after-q3-results-uncertainty-and-tariffs-may-have-a-short-term-impact-ceo-says">missed analyst expectations</a>, reporting an EPS of 31 cents on revenue of $4.6 billion. At the time, CEO Charles Liang cited &#8220;economic uncertainty and tariff impacts&#8221; as short-term challenges.
For the upcoming fourth quarter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/earnings">analysts</a> are forecasting an EPS of 44 cents and revenue of $5.88 billion. Analyst ratings in July have meanwhile been mixed, with firms like JP Morgan and Mizuho maintaining Neutral ratings, while Bank of America initiated coverage with an &#8216;Underperform&#8217; rating. 
Benzinga Edge Rankings: Based on <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> stock rankings, which generate four critical scores to help investors, Super Micro Computer exhibits exceptional fundamental characteristics. The company earns an outstanding Quality score of 95.36, indicating a robust balance sheet and strong profitability. 
This is complemented by a very strong Growth score of 87.60 and a solid Momentum score of 78.85, reflecting its significant expansion and recent positive price performance. 
The stock&#8217;s Value score is more moderate at 60.20, suggesting that its primary strengths lie in its quality and growth profile rather than being a deep value opportunity at its current price.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SMCI shares are trading lower by 0.85% to $59.54 Tuesday afternoon. The stock has a 52-week high of $73.00 and a 52-week low of $17.25.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SMCI Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Super Micro Computer&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Amid AI Headwinds, Super Micro's Growth Strategy Is Put To The Test

U.S. stock futures rose on Tuesday after ending on a mixed note on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher.
Despite a mixed close, the S&amp;P 500 posted its sixth day of record closing high, and the Nasdaq also notched an all-time high on Monday.
The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee&#8217;s two-day meeting will begin today, ahead of its press conference, which will be held on Wednesday afternoon.
Investors await results from Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Procter &amp; Gamble Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), and Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) today.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.41% and the two-year bond was at 3.92%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 96.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were higher in premarket on Friday. The SPY was up 0.23% at $638.40, while the QQQ advanced 0.42% to $570.54, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From Last Session:
On Monday, the energy and information technology sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed higher, bucking the trend as most sectors, including real estate, materials, and utilities, recorded losses.
This occurred as U.S. stocks settled mixed, with the S&amp;P 500 itself recording gains, as markets reacted to the U.S.-EU trade deal struck over the weekend.
The new agreement means the U.S. will impose a 15% tariff on EU imports like pharmaceuticals and automobiles, while certain sectors such as steel, aluminum, and copper will face steeper tariffs of up to 50%.
All three major indices closed the last week higher, with the 30-stock Dow gaining around 1.3% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq adding 1%. The broad market S&amp;P 500 climbed around 1.5% last week.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) jumped 3% after the U.S. announced lower-than-expected tariffs on European goods, including autos, and following CEO Elon Musk's revelation of a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung Electronics to produce next-generation chips.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior Economist Jeremy Siegel highlighted in his weekly commentary that the U.S. economy is still proving resilient despite global tensions and trade barriers.
However, he cautioned that investors should prepare for some economic drag as these tariffs take hold in the second half of the year. &#8220;The cumulative inflation impact from tariffs is likely to be modest, perhaps 1.5% to 2% over two years, while the GDP drag remains limited and manageable,&#8221; he said.
He explained that the market has come to terms with this dynamic and continues to look ahead to more powerful, longer-term forces, particularly the ongoing AI.
&#8220;I think the market rightly assesses this will buoy productivity and earnings. In particular, the immediate expensing provision for capital equipment that came in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill' is a meaningful tailwind for corporate investment, counteracting some negative tariff effects.&#8221;
According to him, earnings season is not showing signs of a breakdown. While there is some cautious forward guidance, the tone has been far more constructive than feared. &#8220;I'm encouraged by year-end earnings estimates, which remain stable or even modestly positive. I continue to believe we are in a healthy bull market with no signs of internal deterioration,&#8221; he added.
From a valuation perspective, Siegel said that some argue markets are expensive.
&#8220;When measuring forward P/E ratios, we are increasingly pricing in next year's earnings, which are supported by strong productivity trends and expanding technology adoption. The 2025–2026 EPS outlook is solid, and while earnings might come down from lofty year-ahead outlooks, I continue to see upside in equities,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick from Carson Research also reiterated that the market rally has been &#8220;historic,&#8221; but it &#8220;likely has legs left.&#8221;

BitMine Immersion, Sarepta Therapeutics, CEA Industries, Super Micro Computer And AMD: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) stock is trading upwards on Monday, akin to its semiconductor peers. This coincides with reports indicating the United States <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46661640/us-holds-back-tech-export-crackdown-to-support-trump-xi-talks" rel="noreferrer noopener">paused new restrictions</a> on tech exports to China to avoid disrupting trade talks and support President Donald Trump&#8217;s effort to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year.
According to the report, which cited current and former U.S. officials, the Commerce Department&#8217;s Bureau of Industry and Security received instructions in recent months to delay strict enforcement of export controls on China.

This policy shift comes as top U.S. and Chinese economic officials prepare to launch high-level trade discussions in Stockholm aimed at resolving long-standing disputes.
The AI server specialist has seen a remarkable surge in its valuation this year, boasting a year-to-date gain exceeding 90%, with a notable 56% increase over the past three months. This robust performance is largely attributed to significant capital expenditure by leading technology companies on their artificial intelligence initiatives, fueling demand for Super Micro&#8217;s specialized server solutions.
In a related development, Super Micro partner Digi Power X (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGXX#NASDAQ">DGXX</a>) announced that its subsidiary, US Data Centers, filed a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46655864/digi-power-x-subsidiary-us-data-centers-inc-files-provisional-patent-for-arms-200-modular-ai-data-" rel="noreferrer noopener">provisional utility patent</a> for the ARMS 200 platform with the U.S. Patent Office.
The ARMS 200 represents a Tier 3-certified modular data center, developed in collaboration with Super Micro, and engineered to support an impressive density of up to 256 Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) B200/B300 GPUs per pod.
Digi Power X intends to scale this platform to 40 MW at its Alabama facility, designed to power over 10,000 Nvidia GPUs for intensive AI workloads.
The initial deployment of this advanced infrastructure is slated for the fourth quarter of 2025. It is worth noting that Digi Power X <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46471195/digi-power-x-stock-jumps-after-deal-with-supermicro-to-roll-out-nvidia-powered-ai-systems" rel="noreferrer noopener">shares surged</a> over 14% on July 17 following the announcement of a purchase order with Super Micro for Nvidia B200-powered systems, intended to underpin its Tier 3 AI infrastructure.
Despite these positive developments, Super Micro has faced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46427157/why-is-supermicro-stock-surging-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">increased regulatory scrutiny</a> concerning its internal financing controls. This heightened oversight followed the resignation of its independent auditor last October, an event that led to delays in the company&#8217;s financial filings.
Furthermore, persistent tariff uncertainties have compelled Super Micro to defer certain orders and revise its fiscal year revenue forecast downwards, narrowing the range to $21.8–$22.6 billion from the previously projected $23.5–$25 billion.
Price Action: SMCI shares were trading higher by 8.23% to $58.97 at last check Monday.

Digi Power X Inc. ("Digi Power X" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGXX#NASDAQ">DGXX</a>, TSXV:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DGX#TSXV">DGX</a>), a vertically integrated AI and digital infrastructure company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, US Data Centers, Inc., has filed a provisional utility patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its ARMS 200 (AI-Ready Modular Solution) platform.
The ARMS 200 is a Tier 3-certified modular data center platform designed to support high-density GPU clusters. Each completed pod, upon deployment, can deliver 1 megawatt ("MW") of compute capacity and is configured for up to 256 NVIDIA B200/B300 GPUs. The ARMS 200 platform is optimized for rapid deployment across enterprise, sovereign and cloud-scale AI applications.
Digi Power X plans to scale the ARMS 200 platform to 40 MW of critical power (55 MW total) at its flagship Alabama site, supporting approximately 10,240 NVIDIA GPUs. The platform integrates liquid cooling, dual-path power redundancy and the Company's NeoCloud orchestration for GPU-as-a-Service operations. It is being developed in collaboration with Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) ("Supermicro") and built to support NVIDIA's Blackwell-class architecture.
The Company previously announced a purchase order with Supermicro for NVIDIA B200-powered systems to seed the ARMS 200 platform. Initial deployment is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025.
The ARMS 200 provisional utility patent application filing marks the first in a series of modular systems under development at US Data Centers, Inc., including the upcoming ARMS 300 and ARMS 400 platforms, tailored for hyperscale enterprise and government-grade AI infrastructure.

Supermicro CEO Charles Liang Posts On X "Love your big but achievable ambition, @elonmusk. We are here ready to support your AI visions (Grok, Optimus, Robotaxi). Our #DLC2 #DCBBS will be the most energy efficient and the quickest way to power your AI Gigafactories!"

Shares of server manufacturer Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) closed Tuesday&#8217;s session lower, caught in a broader pullback among chip and AI-related stocks. Here&#8217;s what investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46517663/supermicro-schedules-conference-call-and-webcast-for-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-year-2025-financial">need to know</a>.
What To Know: The sector-wide pressure follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46534661/500-billion-stumble-softbank-openais-massive-ai-vision-faces-setbacks">reports</a> that the high-profile &#8220;Stargate&#8221; AI venture is facing significant delays and scaled-back ambitions.
The $500 billion project, a joint initiative between SoftBank and OpenAI designed to massively expand U.S. AI infrastructure, has reportedly failed to secure any major data center deals six months after its announcement. 
According to The Wall Street Journal, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46534661/500-billion-stumble-softbank-openais-massive-ai-vision-faces-setbacks">persistent disputes</a> over strategy and control between SoftBank's Masayoshi Son and OpenAI's Sam Altman have crippled the project's momentum. Original plans for an immediate $100 billion investment have been shelved, with the focus now shifted to a much smaller facility in Ohio.
The Stargate slowdown is creating uncertainty around the timeline for massive AI hardware spending. While OpenAI has independently secured a major cloud capacity deal with Oracle, the struggles of its flagship infrastructure partnership are causing investors to temper near-term growth expectations. 
This has led to a sell-off in hardware suppliers like SMCI Tuesday afternoon, whose valuations are heavily dependent on the continued, rapid build-out of AI data centers.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to <a href="http://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Edge</a> stock rankings, which assess stocks on four critical factors, SMCI demonstrates exceptional fundamental strength. The company earns its highest ratings for Quality with an outstanding score of 94.68, indicating a robust balance sheet and strong profitability. 
This is followed closely by an excellent Growth score of 86.99, pointing to strong historical and projected expansion. The stock also maintains solid Momentum with a score of 75.29, reflecting recent positive price performance. 
Its Value score is more moderate at 61.31, suggesting that while the stock is not considered overvalued, it may not be a deep bargain at its current price.
SMCI meanwhile has a 52-week high of $80.80 and a 52-week low of $17.25.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SMCI Stock</h2>
By now, you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Super Micro Computer — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Super Micro Computer, which is trading at $49.99 at time of writing, $100 would buy you 2 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way, it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower. The sector may be reacting to reports indicating SoftBank and OpenAI's $500 billion Stargate AI venture is scaling back near-term goals.

The recent surge in high-beta stocks, including those in Jim Cramer&#8216;s &#8216;PARC&#8217; acronym, has raised concerns among analysts. JPMorgan&#8216;s strategist, Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, has issued a warning about the potential risks associated with this trend.
What Happened: The &#8220;PARC&#8221; stocks, a term coined by Cramer, are Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), Applovin Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>), Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>). These stocks are characterized by their momentum and tenuous links to traditional valuation metrics, as <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/palantir-coinbase-and-these-other-volatile-stocks-are-too-crowded-says-jpmorgan-heres-the-trade-to-make-instead-363caad2">per</a> a MarketWatch report.
The bank has identified a group of high-beta stocks. The list includes two of Cramer's PARC picks, Palantir and Coinbase, along with retail investor favorites like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)
Lakos-Bujas and his team at JPMorgan have pinpointed three occasions this year when investment style factors underwent &#8220;extreme crowding episodes.&#8221;&nbsp;They noted that the recent surge in high-beta stocks, which are more volatile than the market, is the fastest move from the 25th to the 100th percentile in three decades.
The latest episode, now at the 100th percentile, centers on high-beta stocks. The team believes that this overcrowding is not sustainable and poses a risk to the broader market. They also observed a decrease in short interest in high-beta stocks, suggesting that investors are not adequately hedged against potential selloffs.
&#8220;While&nbsp;some argue high-beta crowding could&nbsp;persist, we believe the current&nbsp;100%-tile crowding based on our&nbsp;quantitative analysis not only presents&nbsp;a risk for this crowded&nbsp;segment, but is also&nbsp;a red flag for the&nbsp;broader market implying there is&nbsp;rising complacency in the short&nbsp;term,&#8221; the JPMorgan team wrote.
As an alternative, the team suggests investors consider going long on&nbsp;Low Vol Aristocrats, which have&nbsp;underperformed the market by 19%&nbsp;since April 8.&nbsp;Their top five stocks in&nbsp;this category include&nbsp;Coca-Cola Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>),&nbsp;Allegion PLC&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLE#NYSE">ALLE</a>),&nbsp;Intercontinental Exchange Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>),&nbsp;CME Group Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CME#NASDAQ">CME</a>), and&nbsp;Cboe Global Markets Inc.&nbsp;(CBOE: CBOE).

Why It Matters: The &#8216;PARC&#8217; stocks have been a hot topic in the market, with Cramer&#8217;s new acronym sparking discussions. The stocks have been performing well, with Coinbase hitting a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46408794/parc-stock-coinbase-hits-100-billion-market-capitalization-as-bitcoin-rally-powers-crypto-linked-equities">market capitalization</a> of $100 billion&nbsp;and Robinhood showing&nbsp;strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46419665/cramers-parc-playbook-robinhoods-breakout-potential-outshines-the-meme-stock-pack">technical performance</a>.
Meanwhile, Tech bull Daniel Ives has unveiled his top five stock picks for the second half of 2025, reaffirming his view that the "golden age of tech" is underway, driven by the accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.
In a post on X, Ives named Nvidia, Palantir Technologies, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Tesla as his top selections for the rest of the year.
However, JPMorgan&#8217;s warning about the potential risks associated with high-beta stocks could signal a shift in market sentiment. Investors may want to consider alternative strategies, such as low volatility stocks, which JPMorgan believes present an attractive risk/reward.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI chip companies</a>, including Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), and Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), had a rollercoaster week so far.
Ranging from the U.S. government&#8217;s trade policies, quarterly earnings of key semiconductor suppliers and more, while investors keep evaluating Washington&#8217;s tariff policies and sustained AI frenzy.
This week, Nvidia, Broadcom, AMD, and Supermicro gained 2-11% compared to the PHLX Semiconductor Index&#8217;s less than 1% gains. Marvell lost 2% this week.
This week&#8217;s market surge was driven by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46412125/trumps-latest-move-on-ai-and-china-propels-chip-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">two key developments</a>: reports of the Trump administration&#8217;s $70 billion AI and energy investment plan and the U.S. lifting specific chip export restrictions to China.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/07/46453723/why-nvidias-china-comeback-could-propel-its-stock-to-new-heights" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why Nvidia&#8217;s China Comeback Could Propel Its Stock To New Heights</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductor Policies</h2>
President Trump is set to unveil this initiative near Pittsburgh, which focuses on AI data centers, power generation, grid upgrades, and new workforce training. The plan aims to strengthen U.S. leadership in AI by attracting private investment, simplifying regulations, and fast-tracking project permits.
Senator David McCormick will host the event at Carnegie Mellon University. It will gather top executives from major companies, including BlackRock and Palantir. Blackstone President Jon Gray will also announce a $25 billion investment in data center and energy infrastructure expansion.
Reportedly,&nbsp;Nvidia has recently been allowed by the U.S. government to&nbsp;resume sales&nbsp;to China of its H20 AI chip.&nbsp;This is particularly significant because Nvidia took a $4.5 billion charge in the first quarter of this year due to the export ban on its H20 products to China, which was imposed on April 9.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Semiconductor Earnings</h2>
Key Nvidia supplier and contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46462634/nvidia-supplier-taiwan-semiconductor-on-a-roll-profit-explodes-with-strong-margin-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter results</a> on Thursday that exceeded expectations, driven by strong global demand for advanced chips crucial for AI applications.
The stock gained close to 4% based on the results. The company posted net sales of $30.07 billion, up 38.6% year-over-year, and net income of $398.27 billion New Taiwanese dollars, reflecting a 60.7% increase from the previous year.
The company raised its third-quarter guidance, projecting revenue between $31.8 billion and $33.0 billion, surpassing analysts&#8217; estimates. Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s margin growth was impressive, with gross margins expanding by 540 basis points to 58.6% and operating margins rising by 710 basis points to 49.6%.
Strong demand for cutting-edge processor technologies, including 3-nm, 5-nm, and 7-nm chips, continues to drive the company&#8217;s growth.
However, chip equipment maker ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46438500/asml-stock-plunges-nearly-8-in-wednesday-pre-market-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener">plunged over 8%</a> Wednesday after it warned investors on its second-quarter results that the growth outlook for 2026 is uncertain due to rising macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges.
CEO Christophe Fouquet highlighted growing uncertainties, particularly from trade tensions and tariffs, although the fundamentals of its key AI customers remain strong.
Despite these concerns, ASML posted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46436723/trumps-tariff-threat-casts-shadow-over-asmls-2026-growth-plans-despite-strong-q2-ai-momentum" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong bookings of</a> $6.4 billion, exceeding consensus estimates of $5.6 billion. However, its third-quarter sales forecast, ranging from $8.6 billion-$9.2 billion, missed analyst expectations.
The company reported $8.9 billion in sales for second-quarter, surpassing estimates of $8.7 billion, with a profit of $2.66 billion, ahead of the expected $2.37 billion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recent Key Developments</h2>
Let&#8217;s look at some of the recent significant developments for the semiconductor companies this week.
Broadcom unveiled its new Tomahawk Ultra chip on Tuesday, designed to accelerate AI data processing by linking hundreds of chips in data centers. The chip directly competes with Nvidia&#8217;s NVLink Switch, but Broadcom&#8217;s offering can connect four times as many chips, using a faster version of Ethernet instead of a proprietary protocol.
While both chips aim to facilitate &#8220;scale-up&#8221; computing, Broadcom adapted the Tomahawk Ultra for AI applications, showcasing its potential as a viable alternative to Nvidia&#8217;s powerful GPUs.
Super Micro Computer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46463670/supermicro-launches-new-ai-servers-with-intel-xeon-6-chips" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced on Wednesday</a> that it has started shipping new 4-socket servers designed to support large-scale database and enterprise applications.
These servers, powered by the latest Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) Xeon processors, are optimized for demanding workloads like in-memory databases and scientific simulations, offering improved performance compared to previous models.
NVDA Price Action: NVDA stock is trading higher by 1.31% to $173.58 at last check Thursday.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAIL#NASDAQ">SAIL</a>) and Karman Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRMN#NYSE">KRMN</a>). 
Core Scientific, Inc. (CORZ), previously a micro-cap stock outside the Russell 3000, made an enormous leap directly into the Russell 1000.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaway</h3>
While it is crucial to understand the Russell reconstitution and how sector indexes' compositions have changed, LPL Financial advises that the best course of action may be to "stay the course."
"For investors considering adjustments to their portfolios following these changes, we suggest staying patient while keeping in mind that volatility may pick up over the next few weeks around tariff headlines, incoming inflation data, the upcoming earnings season and historical seasonal weakness," Buchbinder said.&nbsp;
