And the server maker could jump more due to strong earnings and upbeat future guidance. But another likely reason is Big Money lifting the stock.

Big Money Flows to Super Micro

So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.

Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Super Micro has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.

This sets up well for the stock going forward. But how the shares have been trading points to more upside. As I’ll show you, the Big Money has been consistent in the shares.

You see, fund managers are always looking to bet on the next outlier stocks…the best in class. They spend countless hours sizing up companies, reading reports, speaking to analysts…you name it. When they find a company firing on all cylinders, they pounce in a big way.

That’s why I’ve learned how critical it is to gauge Big Money demand for shares. To show you what I mean, have a look at all the Big Money signals SMCI has made recently.

The last few weeks have seen lots of Big Money activity. Each green bar signals big trading volumes as the stock ramped in price:

Super Micro Fundamental Analysis

Next, it’s a good idea to check under the hood. Meaning, I want to make sure the fundamental story is strong too. As you can see, Super Micro has had double-digit sales and earnings growth. Take a look:

  • 3-year EPS growth rate (+66.8%)
