Super Micro Computer shares surged 19% in extended trading on Tuesday after the server maker issued stronger-than-expected quarterly guidance, despite reporting revenue below estimates.

The company highlighted progress in U.S. manufacturing as a key driver of its improved outlook.

The stock move adds to recent momentum in the semiconductor sector, which has seen Intel rise 14% on Tuesday amid reports of potential collaboration with Apple.

Super Micro’s performance underscores continued investor focus on supply-chain resilience and demand for data-center infrastructure.

The company’s guidance beat suggests optimism about its ability to scale production and meet growing demand, particularly in the AI and cloud computing spaces.

However, the revenue shortfall indicates ongoing challenges in converting that demand into immediate top-line growth.
