Super Micro Computer (SMCI) reported its fourth-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2025, revealing a slight miss on both earnings per share (EPS) and revenue forecasts. The company reported an EPS of $0.41, falling short of the expected $0.44, and revenue of $5.76 billion, below the anticipated $5.88 billion. Shares fell 16.3% to $47.90 in pre-market trading, following the disappointing results.

The company's growth rate has slowed since last year when business expanded as companies built up artificial intelligence computing capacity. CEO Charles Liang noted that while the company has taken measures to reduce the impact of U.S. President Trump's tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., the results are yet to be fully realized.

Super Micro's revenue increased 7.5% during the quarter, according to a statement. Net income of $195.2 million, or 31 cents per share, was down from $297.2 million, or 46 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago, partly due to the impact of tariffs. For the current quarter, Super Micro called for 40 cents to 52 cents in adjusted earnings per share on $6 billion to $7 billion in revenue.

The company anticipates improved chip and resource availability, which could enhance margins and support growth in AI and enterprise markets. However, supply chain disruptions and competitive pressures in the AI and data center markets could pose challenges.

Super Micro's stock saw a slight increase of 1.2% in aftermarket trading following the earnings release, closing at $58.93. This movement reflects cautious optimism among investors, who are balancing the company’s strategic growth initiatives with its recent financial performance.
