Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) designs and manufactures modular server and storage solutions for enterprise, cloud, AI, and 5G markets, offering hardware, software, integration, and support services globally. The artificial intelligence server maker has risen 57.19% year-to-date, making it one of the best-performing AI stocks in 2025. On February 12, Northland analyst Nehal Chokshi raised the stock’s price target from $54 to $57 while maintaining an Outperform rating.

The firm highlighted how SMCI’s December quarter results and March quarter guidance were weak. However, it said that there are “multiple indications of SMCI wielding significant differentiation”, and believes that the company’s outlook for $40B in fiscal 2026 sales “is viable”. Moreover, Northland thinks that the company is well positioned for share gains in the generative artificial intelligence multi-trillion dollar opportunity.
