Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Super Micro Computer stock:

• 1. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Strong Top-Line Beat & Raise; Margin & CFO Reasonably Impacted by Memory Price Increases. Progression to Tier 1 server OEM as business increasingly diversified, especially by large enterprise, bringing down volatility of results; GM should begin to return to long-term average of ~16%." (4/28/2017)
• 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "On Thursday, an article appeared on a tech blog highlighting a situation that arose in early 2016 between a data center customer (in this case Apple) and Super Micro. According to the article, this customer discovered what it believed was a security flaw in one of its servers provided from SMCI, returned some servers and subsequently severed its supply relationship. Given the gravity of the allegations, Super Micro published a formal response this morning. SMCI indicated that during the period in question, to the extent a security concern was raised, it was fully investigated and determined that there was 'no valid security concern' related to the Super Micro product. Why bring up this situation, which was apparently resolved and occurred over a year ago, at this time? Clearly, Apple was never a top ten customer, and with no actual issue we don't believe any disclosure would have been required nor expected. In our view, the proper response for investors is to capitalize on any downdraft that could occur from such 'reporting' and buy the dip. We reiterate our Buy and $33 target." (2/24/2017)
