Investing.com - Citi has raised its price target on Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) to $52.00 from $37.00 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, SMCI currently trades at a P/E ratio of 25.71x, suggesting a premium valuation relative to its near-term earnings growth potential.
