# Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals. Price $39.59, market value $26.0 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.1×** (5-yr avg 22.1×, 3-yr avg 26.9×). Super Micro Computer Inc. trades at 12.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 22.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 7.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.08**. A PEG of 0.08 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 2.4×**. The shares trade at 2.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.0×**. Enterprise value is 8.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -26.8%** (5-yr avg -10.5%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 8.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 5.7%**. 5.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 94.0%** (3-yr 41.9%/yr, 5-yr 73.2%/yr). Earnings per share rose 94.0%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
