The company’s customer base “remains robust with no significant movement of orders,” the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Supermicro is confident in its ability to service orders and is gearing up for new product rollouts in the second half of fiscal 2025, adds JPMorgan. It says management also dispelled concerns about shutting down operations in Malaysia, affirming that the Malaysia plant is on track to ramp in the first half of 2025. Supermicro also believes that the working capital requirements to operate at the quarterly revenue base of $5.5B-$6B remains manageable.
