We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Latest Portfolio Update: Top 10 Stocks. Since Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) ranks 7th on the list, it deserves a deeper look.
Jim Cramer during his October 14 program on CNBC looked excited as he celebrated the rebound of major tech stocks, saying these companies are showing their “staying power” despite the odds.
“We’re back. That’s right. Whatever you want to call them, these big tech plays are demonstrating their staying power no matter what happens.”
Cramer said that the latest earnings season would be critical for the overall market and investor portfolios. He also pointed out the broadening of the rally, saying other groups besides the tech industry are also rebounding.
“This rally is not a zero-sum equation where the rest of the market does nothing. Other groups can work, too, in this market. There’s a lot of money going around, and we know there’s a lot of money coming into the market. The Fed is cutting rates, and friendly cash won’t be worth as much as it was. But the staying power of the Magnificent 7 is truly unbelievable.”

Talking about Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:SMCI) Computer, Cramer said he’d prefer Nvidia over this stock.
“This is a company that makes something that goes hand in hand with NVIDIA. Lately, it stalled and had a weak second quarter. I’ve always thought when you have a primary idea like NVIDIA and a secondary idea like Super Micro, you don’t need the latter.”
Carillon Scout Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
“Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) was the top detractor to returns in the second quarter. Super Micro designs and manufacturers server solutions based on modular and open-standard architecture. This modular approach combined with a strong engineering culture helps the company to supply the market with advanced servers and rack-scale compute solutions quickly. After an impressive return in the first quarter, the company offered disappointing near-term earnings guidance, though we do not believe its long-term opportunity has diminished. We expect continued strong growth for several years, although the range of outcomes is quite wide; it is difficult to forecast AI server market growth with precision.”
Overall, Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) ranks 7th on Insider Monkey’s list titled Jim Cramer Latest Portfolio Update: Top 10 Stocks.
