Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) is one of the best performing data center stocks to buy now. On September 17, Northland Securities analyst Nehal Chokshi reiterated a Buy rating on Super Micro with an unchanged price target of $59, highlighting continued confidence in the company’s growth trajectory.

The call followed Bernstein SocGen analyst Mark Newman’s initiation of coverage a day earlier with a Market Perform rating and a $46 target, citing concerns around slowing growth, aggressive guidance, and weak cash conversion despite Super Micro’s strong recent performance. According to the analyst, Super Micro has been one of the notable growth stories in the sector, reporting 46.6% revenue growth over the last 12 months.
