Why Super Micro Computer Rallied Over 60% in the First Half of the Year
Key Points Super Micro was seemingly vindicated from its accounting scandal at the end of 2024. Yet growth slowed as the Nvidia's AI customers moved from Hopper to Blackwell. But the company also inked a $20 billion deal in Saudi Arabia, spurring hope for the Blackwell cycle. 10 stocks we like better than Super Micro Computer › Shares of AI-focused server-maker Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) rallied 60.8% in the first half of the year, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Super Micro entered 2025 after a somewhat disastrous second half of 2024, when it was attacked by a short-seller, followed by its auditor resigning in October. However, in February, Super Micro's new auditor, BDO, signed off on the company's financials from the prior three years. The seeming validation of the company, as well as optimism over AI growth in May and June, lifted shares strongly off a cheap valuation to start the year. BDO signs off, and Super Micro blasts off In its audit, BDO delivered an adverse opinion on Super Micro's internal controls and procedures; however, when actually reviewing transactions from 2022, 2023, and fiscal 2024, BDO noted that Super Micro's financial statements, "present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company." So, Super Micro, while apparently being somewhat sloppy in its back-office procedures for a U.S. public company, was apparently cleared of the worst accusations of fraud. As a result, the company's stock rallied to over $66 per share in early February. However, that rally was short-lived, as the stock soon gave way to the Trump Administration's tariff war. While Super Micro prides itself on being a U.S.-based server maker, its component supply chain and those of its chipmaking partners is very international. Thus, Super Micro soon fell back to earth along with many fellow AI companies. Super Micro actually also had two somewhat disappointing earnings reports, as revenue growth missed expectations in both the December and March quarters. Still, the company posted 54.9% growth in the December quarter and 19.5% growth in March, which isn't so shabby. Management chalked up the misses to a delay in the release of Nvidia 's (NASDAQ: NVDA) Blackwell chips, which only began production in late 2024 and ramped up throughout the first quarter. So, it's possible that availability may have been limited in the March quarter as, "customers delayed making platform decisions," according to the company. But management also forecast a 30% sequential step-up in revenue for the current June quarter, which should mark the beginning of the Blackwell cycle for Super Micro. About a week after May's earnings, Super Micro got another positive jolt after it inked a multi-year, $20 billion deal with Datavolt, a Saudi Arabian data center operator, as part of the Trump administration's strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia. Unsurprisingly, Super Micro and other AI companies rallied in the wake of that announcement. Where Super Micro goes from here Despite the first-half rally, Super Micro still remains far off its 2024 highs, and only trades at 16 times next year's earnings estimates. That's not expensive for a high-powered AI stock, but Super Micro's uneven growth, questions over margins, and perhaps investor hesitance due to last year's short-seller attack have limited its valuation. It will be interesting to see how results come through as Blackwell ramps, and whether investor sentiment can continue recovering. Should you invest $1,000 in Super Micro Computer right now?

Prediction: These 2 AI Chip Stocks Will Outperform Nvidia Over the Next 5 Years
Key Points Nvidia is the dominant player in AI infrastructure, but its size could limit some of its upside. AMD and Broadcom, meanwhile, have huge opportunities. Given their smaller sizes, the stocks have the potential to outperform Nvidia in the coming years. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Nvidia is the undisputed king of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The company has a dominant share in the graphics processing unit (GPU) market, where its chips provide the processing power necessary to run AI workloads. Its CUDA software platform has helped create a wide moat, giving the company over 90% market share in the GPU space. That said, Nvidia has become a mammoth company, recently hitting a $4 trillion market cap. As such, it now faces the law of large numbers. It can keep growing, but it will get more difficult to keep up the same pace. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » That's why the stocks of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) could outperform the GPU leader over the next five years. Both have smaller revenue bases to work from and big potential tailwinds. Advanced Micro Devices AMD, as the company is also known, has been seeing strong revenue growth, but its AI opportunity could just be getting started. While it's still a distant second to Nvidia in GPUs, it has been able to carve out a niche in AI inference. On its last earnings call, AMD said that one of the largest AI model companies in the world is using its GPUs to run a significant chunk of its daily inference workloads. Major cloud providers have been using its chips to run search, recommendation engines, and generative AI tasks. The company's ROCm software platform still trails CUDA, but it's generally considered good enough when it comes to inference. The reason the stock can outperform, though, largely comes down to size. Nvidia's data center revenue hit $39.1 billion last quarter, while AMD's was just $3.7 billion. It doesn't have to take massive share from the leader to see explosive growth, as even modest wins can make a big impact. AMD is also a leader in data center central processing units (CPUs), where it has gained meaningful share against Intel. CPUs act as the brains of the operation, so as AI workloads expand, demand for high-performance CPUs will also grow. Meanwhile, the UALink Consortium which was formed by AMD, Intel, Broadcom, and others, is looking to challenge Nvidia's NVLink and its proprietary interconnects. It wants to develop an open standard for high-speed, low-latency interconnects for AI accelerators in data centers. If successful, it could erode one of Nvidia's biggest advantages and open the door for companies to use clusters of multiple vendors. That would be huge for AMD. With AI inference expected to eventually eclipse training in size, AMD has a big opportunity. Broadcom Broadcom isn't directly chasing Nvidia in the GPU market. Instead, it's competing against the company in AI networking and by helping customers design custom AI chips. Broadcom makes networking components -- like Ethernet switches and optical interconnects -- that are essential in transferring huge data volumes across large AI clusters. As these clusters get bigger, so do networking demands. This is helping drive the company's revenue growth, and last quarter its AI networking revenue surged 70%. However, the company's biggest opportunity is in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). It helped Alphabet develop its highly successful Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and is now designing custom AI chips for several other hyperscalers (companies that operate huge data centers). These custom chips can deliver better performance and power efficiency than off-the-shelf GPUs, and demand is growing fast. Management has said that its three custom AI chip customers that are the furthest along in their development are planning to deploy up to 1 million chip clusters each by its fiscal 2027, representing a $60 billion to $90 billion opportunity. That doesn't even include newer wins like Apple. And given the up-front costs of designing custom chips, they are typically used in large deployments. Broadcom also owns VMware, which is becoming increasingly important in AI cloud environments. Its Cloud Foundation platform helps enterprises manage AI workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and it is seeing strong upselling to this platform. With its networking portfolio, custom chips, and virtualization software, the company has a lot of growth in front of it. The bottom line Nvidia is still a great company, and its stock has room to move higher. However, it just saw its data center revenue increase more than ninefold in two years. At some point, it gets harder to keep posting that type of breakneck growth. Meanwhile, AMD and Broadcom both have much smaller AI-related revenue streams today. If AMD can take some GPU market share in inference, that would be a huge growth driver. And if Broadcom's customers start producing a huge amount of custom chips based on its intellectual property, it could unlock tens of billions in high-margin revenue. As such, I think both AMD and Broadcom stocks are well-positioned to outperform Nvidia over the next five years. Should you invest $1,000 in Advanced Micro Devices right now?

AI's cost to critical thinking
This is the weekly Work Life newsletter. If you are interested in more careers-related content, sign up to receive it in your inbox. School may be out for the summer, but the conversation around artificial intelligence in education is heating up. Joe Castaldo, a Globe and Mail reporter covering AI and technology, recently joined The Decibel podcast to discuss how AI may be dulling students' critical thinking skills and answer the question, 'What are we losing when we rely too much on AI?' To set the scene, Mr. Castaldo retold a story from Swiss business professor Michael Gerlich: Mr. Gerlich was sitting in a university auditorium behind a student who was using ChatGPT during a lecture to generate questions that the student would go on to ask the guest speaker. The problem was they were questions the speaker had already extensively answered. 'The student wasn't even paying attention,' Mr. Castaldo says. It's one small example of a growing trend that sparked a study by Mr. Gerlich. Mr. Gerlich surveyed more than 600 students to explore the connection between AI usage and critical thinking. 'He found the higher somebody's AI use, the lower their critical thinking skills,' Mr. Castaldo says. 'And it was most pronounced for younger people, like under 25.' While the study didn't prove causation, it raises flags among educators. Some professors reported seeing students who couldn't make even basic academic decisions without consulting AI. However, it's not just students leaning on AI, knowledge workers are too. According to a survey by workplace technology platform OwlLabs and Pulse, nearly 67 per cent of companies are using AI and 46 per cent of employees report they're either heavily using AI at work or somewhat reliant on it. This surge brings a cost. A study by Microsoft Research and Carnegie Mellon surveyed 319 knowledge workers and found the more confident someone was in AI's abilities, the less critical thinking they reported. The survey revealed a few motivational barriers that cause workers to opt-out of critical thinking, including: These barriers contribute to a broader pattern: even well-intentioned or capable knowledge workers may opt out of critical engagement when organizational structures or task demands don't support it. Microsoft's research suggests that without motivating workers to critique outputs, AI tools tend to shift cognition from production to oversight — and that can be a slippery slope. 'It's not that the tools themselves are bad, it's how we use them. We can use them in good, effective ways, but a lot of that comes down to the individual's motivation,' Mr. Castaldo says. From boardrooms to classrooms, the real test will be how leaders cultivate environments where AI challenges us, not just does things for us. 76 per cent That's how many employers are already using some kind of personality and skills tests in assessing job candidates, according to a recent report from TestGorilla. Read more Many hiring managers have been faced with the same challenge: when a new role pops up that demands new skills, do they recruit new talent or retain and retrain the people already on the team? This article says that the classic '50-per-cent rule,' popularized by Robert Townsend, still holds weight – especially in today's fast-moving skills landscape. The rule advises giving proven internal candidates a shot, even if they only meet half the job's requirements. The missing piece? Support. With mentorship and a strong learning culture, employees can grow into roles while boosting retention and engagement. Read more 'This stage of life has largely been ignored. That's an injustice that we need to change, particularly when you think about not just the impact to one's own personal health, but the impact to the economy and to society over all. This is an issue that demands urgent attention and action,' says Janet Ko, co-founder of the Menopause Foundation of Canada. In this article, The Globe explores how the lack of menopause awareness and support doesn't only affect women at work, but the broader economy. It also covers some of the positive changes we've seen at Canadian workplaces and how we can create more inclusive, productive workplaces.
