The AI server company’s Chair and Chief, Charles Liang, backed the company’s expansion by describing the surge in the global demand for artificial intelligence in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Monday.

Liang recognized growth opportunities in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. In February, Super Micro Computer showcased plans to build its third campus in San Jose.

Liang said the company was eyeing manufacturing in Texas and Mississippi as costs in Silicon Valley rise. Super Micro Computer makes the bulk of its servers in California.

Delayed orders of servers and other computer products due to tariff uncertainties prompted the company to cut its outlook.

Super Micro Computer now expects fiscal year sales of $21.8 billion—$22.6 billion, down from a prior outlook of $23.5 billion—$25 billion.

Liang acknowledged production challenges in the U.S., including higher costs and a three-decade-old lack of a semiconductor production system, which made its infrastructure and people unfamiliar with manufacturing jobs.

Raymond James initiated coverage on Super Micro Computer, citing AI platforms constitute approximately 70% of Supermicro’s revenue, positioning it as a dominant player among branded server vendors. 

Price Action: SMCI shares were trading higher by 1.19% to $43.28 premarket at last check Wednesday.
