The company posted revenue of $43.8 billion, exceeding Wall Street estimates of $35.5 billion. Management now sees full-year sales of about $167 billion, well above the $142 billion anticipated by analysts.\n\nThe read-through is particularly relevant for Super Micro, one of the largest suppliers of [Nvidia](https://robinhood.com/us/en/stocks/NVDA/?source=sherwood)-powered AI server systems, and HPE, which has been expanding its AI infrastructure and liquid-cooling offerings through its partnership with Nvidia.\n\nThe moves suggest investors view AI infrastructure as a broad spending cycle that benefits server makers across the entire ecosystem.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hpe-smci-surge-after-dells-q1-beat-on-strong-ai-server-demand", "canonical_source": "https://sherwood.news/markets/hpe-smci-stocks-surge-dells-q1-beat-strong-ai-server-demand/", "published_at": "2026-05-29 12:42:25+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-29 12:55:49.581779+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-chips"], "entities": ["HP Enterprise", "Super Micro Computer", "Dell", "Nvidia"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hpe-smci-surge-after-dells-q1-beat-on-strong-ai-server-demand", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hpe-smci-surge-after-dells-q1-beat-on-strong-ai-server-demand.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hpe-smci-surge-after-dells-q1-beat-on-strong-ai-server-demand.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/hpe-smci-surge-after-dells-q1-beat-on-strong-ai-server-demand.jsonld"}}
