# Why Is Super Micro Computer Stock Surging on Monday?

**Super Micro Computer Inc.** (NASDAQ:SMCI) stock is surging during premarket trading on Monday, driven by investor optimism ahead of its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings report scheduled for Tuesday. Consensus estimates call for 88 cents in non-GAAP EPS on $11.45 billion in revenue. Nasdaq futures are up 0.10% while S&P 500 futures have gained 0.03%.

## Strong Margin Projections Lift Sentiment

In a July 21 preliminary update, the company projected fourth-quarter revenue “near the low end” of its $11 billion to $12.5 billion guidance range. However, preliminary gross margins reached 15% to 17%, up from prior guidance of 8.2% to 8.4%. Management attributed the expansion to a “favorable customer and product mix.”

The company also reported “more than $60 billion” in new AI infrastructure orders.

## Smuggling Probe Remains Under Scrutiny

On July 28, Taiwan prosecutors detained an **Nvidia** employee amid an investigation into alleged AI server smuggling to China, following the prior detention of two Super Micro employees.

## Critical Price Levels To Watch for SMCI Stock

The stock is back above its 20-day SMA ($28.18), 50-day SMA ($31.86), and 100-day SMA ($30.01), while sitting just 0.3% below its 200-day SMA ($32.19). That "back at the 200-day" setup often acts like a decision point—either a breakout that resets the trend, or a rejection that keeps the longer-term downtrend intact.

RSI is the cleaner momentum read right now: at 54.53, it’s neutral, suggesting the move isn’t stretched and still has room to develop if buyers follow through.

The longer-term trend picture is still mixed-to-cautious because the 20-day SMA remains below the 50-day SMA, and the death cross (50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA) that formed in December 2025 is still in place. That said, the stock’s ability to reclaim the 50-day and press into the 200-day area is the kind of repair work bulls want to see after the recent swing low in July.
