As the artificial intelligence-fueled tech rally continues, companies that can diversify to address the manifold demands the industry faces are poised to profit. Super Micro Computer Inc. ( NASDAQ: SMCI ) is one of those companies. The San Jose, Calif.-based tech firm specializes in high-performance and high-efficiency servers, but it also provides software solutions as well as storage systems for data centers and enterprises focusing on cloud computing, AI, 5G, and edge computing.
Since its March 2007 IPO, when shares debuted at $8.00, shares have gained 5510.25%. That means that a $1,000 investment on the day the company went public would be worth $56102.50 today. But after hitting its all-time high of $1140 per share on March 8, 2024, the stock has dropped 60.63%.

*Revenue and net income in $billions
In the last decade, Super Micro Computer's revenue grew by more than 385% while its net income increased by just over 1,085%. Despite seeing a minor revenue contraction in 2020 with a decrease of 4.6%, shares of SMCI still managed to increase year-over-year on still-growing net income. As the IT services provider looks forward to the second half of the decade, we have identified three key drivers that are likely to impact its growth metrics and stock performance.
Key Drivers of Super Micro Computer's Stock Performance
- Enormous Industry Growth: According to Statista, global revenues generated by the IT services industry is a $1.420 trillion industry. Looking forward, that figure is forecast to balloon to $1.879 trillion worldwide by the end of 2029, which is good for a market increase of 32.32%. Most of this growth will be driven by demand for services and solutions that support AI, but other drivers include digital transformation and cloud IT infrastructure — both of which are major business segments for Super Micro Computer. The company has global reach, with more than half of its revenue being produced from outside of the U.S., meaning it will play a central role in meeting that global growth demand.
- Shrinking Margins to Increase AI Production Capacity: Super Micro Computer finished fiscal year 2024 with sizable reduction in its margins. And while that would usually be interpreted negatively by investors, it makes perfect sense for the company. In 2024, gross margins shrink to 14.2% from 18.1% in fiscal 2023. The main driver: Increasing production of its server solutions to to deploy AI graphics processing units (GPUs) — like those produced by tech behemoths NVIDIA Corp. ( NASDAQ: NVDA ) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. ( NASDAQ: AMD ) . As a result, the company is position itself for growth alongside increased demand for GPUs, which ultimately will cause NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices' successes to trickle down to Super Micro Computer. Most recently, 70% of SMCI's revenue was from sales of its GPU server solutions for AI implementation. The market for direct liquid cooling (DLC) servers — which Super Micro Computer provides — is expected to grow from $5 billion in 2024 to $21 billion in 2029.
