Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) has been riding the AI wave for some time, and its latest announcement sent the stock soaring again.
Shares jumped 15% after the company revealed it's shipping over 100,000 GPUs per quarter, a figure that could translate into billions of dollars in potential revenue, with GPUs being the core hardware behind AI development and deployment.
But while the stock got a short-term boost, questions about its sustainability loom large. It soon receded and was down by about 7% by 1:30 PM ET.
AI Infrastructure Powers Stock Surge
Super Micro has been a major player in supplying AI infrastructure, and the latest GPU shipment announcement highlights its role in powering some of the biggest AI data centers. The company's new liquid cooling technology also caught Wall Street's attention, as it promises to reduce costs and optimize hardware for data centers that run constantly.
But there's a wrinkle: Super Micro has been dealing with investigations, including a Department of Justice probe following short-seller allegations of accounting issues.

Headwinds Persist Despite Rally
Even with this impressive GPU announcement, Super Micro is battling broader headwinds.
Despite the recent rally, the stock remains down over 50% since peaking in March, and technical indicators suggest the path ahead could be rocky.

The MACD, however, remains negative, and while the RSI at 47.36 isn't in overbought territory, it suggests that investor enthusiasm could face hurdles.
The AI demand boom has propelled Super Micro, but with ongoing legal and financial uncertainties, the real question is whether this surge can last.
For now, it seems like investors are still very much along for the ride.
