(Central News Agency, Silicon Valley, California, 9th – Combined Foreign News) Super Micro Computer today stated that it will raise $7 billion through a series of stock and equity-related financing transactions to purchase components and meet the growing market demand for its advanced artificial intelligence (AI) servers.

According to Reuters, Super Micro said the proceeds will be used to fulfill advanced AI server orders from over 20 customers, totaling approximately $39 billion.

As technology companies and cloud service providers continue to expand their data center investments to support large language models and other AI applications, demand for AI infrastructure providers is rapidly increasing. Last week, Alphabet launched an expanded stock issuance, planning to raise $84.75 billion.

Super Micro's financing plan includes the sale of approximately $3.75 billion in depositary shares and $1.25 billion in common stock to underwriters.

Additionally, Super Micro plans to launch an "At-the-Market Offering" (ATM) program after the third quarter, selling up to $2 billion in stock.

Following the announcement, Super Micro's stock fell about 8% in after-hours trading. (Edited by Xu Ruicheng) 1150610
