## Elevator Pitch

- SMCI's growth outlook remains robust, driven by a strong backlog and the next generation of Blackwell products. The problem is much of this seems already priced in the stock.
- Gross margin pressures from inventory write-downs and tariff uncertainties are likely to persist for another 1-2 quarters.
- Valuation is stretched versus peers, with a significant premium coupled with falling earnings expectations. This indicates limited alpha potential and potential overvaluation.
- Although SMCI vs SPX 500 is holding above a key monthly support, the move up is not as aggressive as I had expected.
- Another risk factor to monitor is the deteriorating net working capital intensity of the company due to rising receivable days and falling payable days, indicating a potentially weaker bargaining position.
