SMCI's FQ4 FY26 report beat EPS and its FY27 revenue outlook far exceeded consensus, reflecting accelerating AI-server demand. Revenue rose 93% y/y to $11.12B, narrowly missing the $11.26B consensus, while adjusted EPS of $1.70 beat by $0.11. Gross margin expanded to 17.5% from 9.9% in the prior quarter, and net income jumped to $1.18B from $195M a year ago. The company guided FQ1 FY27 revenue to $14.5-15.5B versus $11.99B expected, and FY27 revenue to $65-72B versus $54.43B expected, with more than $60B in new orders and a record backlog (Economic Times). Bloomberg's headline called the outlook above the rosiest projection (Bloomberg), and MarketWatch said the report brought more good news with the stock climbing (MarketWatch). DIGITIMES noted executives defended margin and order quality amid analyst scrutiny (DIGITIMES 1), while also saying the margin rebound and bullish outlook eased investor doubts (DIGITIMES 2). This guidance suggests sustained AI-server demand benefiting suppliers such as NVIDIA (GPU content) and TSMC (manufacturing), and intensifies competition for Dell and HPE in AI systems. CoreWeave, reporting the same cycle, is a direct read-through. The revenue miss was small and offset by EPS and guidance; the main risk is execution against a record backlog. Overall the signal is positive for SMCI and the AI-infrastructure supply chain.
