Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares fell 6% after preliminary Q1 2026 results missed expectations, forecasting $5 billion revenue instead of $6-7 billion. The company attributes this to “design win upgrades” shifting revenue to Q2. Despite this, CEO Charles Liang anticipates strong customer demand and reiterated revenue of at least $33B for FY 2026, driven by AI market share gains. Recent design wins exceed $12 billion, set for Q2 delivery. A detailed update will be provided during the November 4 earnings call.

Tesla’s Q3 revenue beat expectations with a 12% increase, but earnings fell short, leading to a stock dip. Profitability declined due to price cuts and increased operating expenses driven by AI investments. The expiration of EV tax credits and slumping European sales, influenced by Musk’s public persona and competition, added complexity. Tesla is focusing on long-term projects like Cybercab, Optimus robots, and Robotaxi expansion, but offered limited guidance, concerning investors about their Full Self-Driving system. Energy generation and storage saw significant growth, fueled partly by Musk’s AI venture, xAI.
