SMCI Stock Climbs Most In Two Months On New Enterprise Server Solutions Release — Retail Speculates Buyout Deal

• The new Gold Series is optimized for enterprise AI, compute, storage, and intelligent edge workloads, the company said. 
• Shares of the company soared 9% on Friday, the most since Feb. 6. 
• Retail traders on Stocktwits speculated about a buyout deal.

Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) shares soared more than 9% on Friday, the most since Feb. 6, after the company announced its latest pre-configured Gold Series enterprise server solutions a day earlier.

The rebound follows a drop of about 20% in SMCI stock since March 19, when the U.S. government charged the company's co-founder Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw and two others linked to the company with allegedly diverting servers to China in violation of export-control laws. Super Micro was not named as a defendant.

Meanwhile, retail traders on Stocktwits speculated about a buyout deal, even as others cheered the enterprise solutions release.

The Enterprise Server Solutions

The new Gold Series from Super Micro optimized for enterprise AI, compute, storage, and intelligent edge workloads, comprises more than 25 different server systems, including performance optimized single-processor and dual-processor servers, the company said.

It is pre-configured with CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage, and other key components, ready to be shipped from the company’s warehouses within three business days.

"By shipping our Gold Series offerings directly to our customers with everything they need to run their enterprise workloads, we make our industry-leading server portfolio available to our customers even faster, significantly shortening lead times and accelerating their time-to-online," said CEO Charles Liang.

"Customers can order Gold Series systems with confidence, knowing not only that these configurations are workload-optimized and validated before shipment, but also that these server platforms have been deployed to data centers worldwide, in volume," Liang added.

What Is Retail Saying?

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around SMCI stock stayed in the ‘bearish’ territory amid ‘low’ message volumes.

One bullish user speculated that a buyout deal was round the corner.

Another user echoed the sentiment, wondering if the stock price climb was linked to a buyout news that could come on Monday.

A third user called the company’s new enterprise solutions unveil “monumental,” while adding that SMCI was worth 10 times its price.

SMCI stock has declined more than 18% this year.
