But here&#8217;s what you should actually be watching.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dce6331a1da4e3959922eb5199ef8274.jpeg\" alt=\"Chris Hondros \/ Getty Images\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"539\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/> Chris Hondros \/ Getty Images         The SMCI Trade Is a Dilution Trap    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Strip away the AI-server narrative and Supermicro is a low-margin assembler with a governance cloud. Q3 FY26 revenue came in at $10.24 billion against a $12.45 billion estimate, a 17.75% miss despite a tailwind that should make missing impossible. GAAP gross margin recovered to a still-thin 9.9%, the company burned $6.6 billion in cash from operations, and total bank debt plus convertibles ballooned to $8.8 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The kicker: results were filed preliminary and unaudited while the board runs an independent review related to export-control matters. Reddit caught on. Sentiment cratered to a very bearish score of 12 on June 10 as the $7 billion financing plans were announced. The stock is down 31.05% over the past year and sits at $30.66. This is what the late stage of a hype cycle looks like.<\/p>\n<p>      Dell Is the Trade Hiding in Plain Sight    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Dell Technologies (<a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/quote\/DELL\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:NYSE:DELL;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;NYSE&quot;}\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NYSE:DELL<\/a>) just printed the kind of quarter Supermicro keeps promising. Three reasons retirement-focused investors should redirect attention here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks \u2014 and Dell Technologies didn&#8217;t make the cut. <a href=\"https:\/\/247wallst.com\/lp\/top-10-ai-stocks\/DELL\/?i=bc65bcba-24bb-4a1b-a759-26fdf2b4bdaf&amp;p=92103f51-044f-4669-8ba5-a79fcf7642bd&amp;pos=mid_content&amp;tpid=1612574&amp;l=b17ce983-5361-4dba-a2fd-2469b8705237&amp;c=3af9b05b-bac6-4a46-815a-254223a80206&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=feed&amp;utm_content=feed||1612574\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Grab the names FREE today;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Grab the names FREE today&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Grab the names FREE today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">1. The scale gap is now absurd. Dell posted Q1 FY27 revenue of $43.84 billion, up 87.54% year over year and beating consensus by $8.075 billion. AI-optimized server revenue alone hit $16.13 billion, up 757%, with $24.40 billion in AI orders booked in a single quarter. Management guided full-year AI server revenue to roughly $60 billion. That single product line is larger than Supermicro&#8217;s entire $38.9 billion to $40.4 billion FY26 guide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">2. Real margins, real cash, real returns. ROE sits at 44.3%, ISG operating margin expanded to 10.5%, and CSG operating margin jumped to 8.0% from 5.2%. Free cash flow reached $3.12 billion, and Dell returned $2.1 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends in the quarter. Supermicro is raising capital; Dell is returning it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">3. The valuation still works. Forward P\/E sits at 23 against full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance of $17.90 and revenue growth of roughly 47% at the midpoint. The dividend yields about 1.1%, the buyback authorization was expanded by $10 billion, and the Wall Street analyst target sits at $483.83 against a current price of $409.50. Shares slipped 2.34% on the most recent session, opening a modest entry window after a blowout earnings report.<\/p>\n<p>     The Action   <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Retirement portfolios need scaled cash generation, expanding margins, and a buyback that actually shrinks the share count \u2014 the opposite of preliminary financials, export-control investigations, and dilutive capital raises. Dell warrants a spot on the research short list while the post-earnings pullback is still here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks \u2014 and Dell Technologies didn&#8217;t make the cut. <a href=\"https:\/\/247wallst.com\/lp\/top-10-ai-stocks\/DELL\/?i=bc65bcba-24bb-4a1b-a759-26fdf2b4bdaf&amp;p=ea93966a-680e-4e83-abfa-2ea9e7c81711&amp;pos=end_of_article&amp;tpid=1612574&amp;c=3af9b05b-bac6-4a46-815a-254223a80206&amp;l=b17ce983-5361-4dba-a2fd-2469b8705237&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=feed&amp;utm_content=feed||1612574\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Grab the names FREE today;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Grab the names FREE today&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Grab the names FREE today<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quick Read SMCI missed Q3 revenue estimates by 18%, burned $6.6B in operating cash, and faces an export-control&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":757111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[62,276,277,49,48,8598,98271,34576,28471,59694,61,207501],"class_list":["post-757110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-dell","tag-dell-technologies","tag-revenue-estimates","tag-revenue-growth","tag-super-micro-computer","tag-technology","tag-top-10-ai-stocks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=757110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/757111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=757110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=757110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=757110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
