Supermicro's third-quarter of fiscal 2026 gross margins snapped back to 10.1% non-GAAP, up from 6.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

The earnings call transcript, however, tells a simpler story. The single customer that drove 63% of revenue in the second quarter fell to 27% in the third quarter. That mix shift — toward higher-margin enterprise and neocloud buyers — did most of the work.
