AI is a big driver for tech companies these days. For proof, one need only look to Microsoft, whose early investment in OpenAI allowed it to integrate artificial intelligence across many of its products and services, and Nvidia, whose market dominance in providing AI and data center products has led to massive gains and a valuation exceeding $2 trillion.
With the spotlight on the tech sector, investors are starting to notice the sideline players. These companies may not have direct involvement in AI but are nonetheless instrumental in its development. Super Micro Computer Inc. is one of the most prominent examples and the focus of our discussion today.
