On Tuesday, the company delivered something pleasingly different: a no-dramas update in which it reported that AI infrastructure builders are queuing up to buy its products with pens poised over chequebooks, and revenue is therefore growing fast.
In its report on Q2 2026 revenue, Supermicro revealed $12.7 billion revenue, $7 billion up from Q2 2025 and $7.7 billion higher than Q1’s haul.
GPU-based systems used for AI applications delivered 84 percent of Q2 revenue, up up 151 percent year-over-year, and accounted for 90 percent of revenue.
A single un-named customer delivered 63 percent of revenue, but founder, CEO and president Charles Liang said Supermicro has won comparable clients and isn’t worried it’s too reliant on a single buyer. “We are very happy that now we have many more large-scale customers,” he said.
Gross margins fell to 6.3 percent, an outcome Liang attributed in part to the need to pay top dollar to transport new Nvidia Blackwell parts to Supermicro’s factories. Liang said those costs will ease, and that tariffs have also become less of a concern.
The CEO thinks better days lie ahead, because builders of AI infrastructure are in a hurry to bring their systems online and Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions (DCBBS) offering – a modular system that sees the company deliver racked-and-ready-to-run compute, storage, networking, power, and cooling systems – is designed for fast implementation. Liang said DCBBS accounted for just four percent of Q2 revenue, but said it is the company’s big growth prospect, and Supermicro is therefore developing new modules including transformers, next-generation power generators, an energy backup device, and grid power replacement.
Supermicro has four new factories ramping up, and Liang said they’ll help to meet demand for DCBBS and to reduce costs.
The CEO forecast Q3 revenue of $12.3 billion, and full year revenue of “at least $40 billion.” That figure suggests Q4 revenue could be just $10 billion, a dip he didn’t explain but which didn’t spook investors who sent Supermicro’s share price up 6.5 percent in after-hours trading. ®
Democrats on Capitol Hill offered apologies and promises of accountability on Tuesday amid often harrowing testimony from people who had experienced violent encounters with federal agents engaged in Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
With Republicans conspicuously absent, the forum of senators and representatives heard from Luke and Brent Ganger, the brothers of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, who was shot dead by an Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis on 7 January as she tried to drive away from agents.
Luke Ganger said he and his brother were there “to ask for you help” and suggested the sense of loss his family felt had been deepened by subsequent events in Minneapolis, where a protester, Alex Pretti, also aged 37, was shot dead by two border patrol agents on 24 January.
“The deep distress our family feels at Renee’s loss in such a violent and unnecessary way is complicated by feelings of disbelief, distress and desperation,” he said.
“In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation, thinking that perhaps Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not. The completely surreal scenes taking place are beyond explanation.
“This is not just a bad day or a rough week or isolated incidents. These encounters with federal agents are changing the community and changing many lives, including ours. I still don’t know how to explain to my four-year-old what these agents are doing when we pass by.”
His daughter, Ganger added, “knows that her aunt died and that somebody caused it to happen”.
He said the death of his sister had brought his family closer, although they had different political viewpoints.
The brothers’ testimony was followed by that of Marimar Martinez, Aliya Rahman and Martin Daniel Rascon, three US citizens who each described traumatic experiences at the hands of agents while they were in their cars.
Martinez, from Chicago, recalled how she was shot five times by a border patrol agent, who later circulated images as she lay wounded in hospital to colleagues as “trophy” pictures. The agent then accused her of assaulting a federal agent and of ramming his vehicle with her car, resulting in criminal charges that were subsequently dismissed.
The agent who shot Martinez was identified in the hearing as Charles Exum. Texts that he sent to colleagues were shown to the assembled gathering in the Dirksen Senate office building. One read: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys.” Members of Congress at the hearing called for him to be arrested and prosecuted.
Ro Khanna, a Democratic representative from California, told Martinez: “The entire country needs to hear your story. I am angry on your behalf, Miss Martinez.”
Rahman, who said she suffers from autism and a traumatic brain injury, described how agents violently pulled her from her car after she was caught in a traffic jam caused by ICE vehicles as she tried to reach a medical appointment at the Hennepin county brain injury center in Minneapolis on 13 January.
“I yelled: ‘I’m disabled’ at the hands grabbing me. One of them said ‘too late’,” she said.
“An agent pulled a large combat knife in front of my face, which I thought was for cutting me, and later learned was used to cut off my seat belt.
“Shooting pain went through my head, neck and wrists when I hit the ground face-first and people leaned on my back. I was carried facedown through the street by my cuffed arms and legs while yelling that I had a brain injury and was disabled.
“I now cannot lift my arms normally. I was never asked for my ID and never told I was under arrest.”
She was later taken to a detention center, where – she said – agents referred to those being detained as “bodies”.
Later in the hearing, Rahman put her arm around her fellow witness Rascon, from San Bernardino in California, as a comfort as he struggled to deliver testimony describing his experiences at the hands of ICE and border patrol after an agent opened fire on the car he was traveling in with family members last August.
Robert Garcia, a California representative who is the top Democrat on the House of Representatives oversight committee, said the nature of the testimony was difficult to hear.
“I’m so sorry that the stories are horrific, and I promise you that every single one of us, whether it’s the House or the Senate, we will hold all of those that caused you harm accountable,” he said. “You all deserve justice and you deserve peace. And it’s horrific that anyone in our country has to go through what you have all been.”
Richard Blumenthal, a senator for Connecticut, who led the hearing along with Garcia, called the testimony “a defining moment and a moral moment”.
He used words once aimed at Joseph McCarthy, the 1950’s red-baiting Republican senator for Wisconsin, to excoriate Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, and other administration members involved in the immigration raids. “Have you no sense of decency?” he said. “Have you no sense of shame?”
Alex Padilla, a senator for California who was wrestled to the ground and handcuffed by two federal agents last year when he tried to ask Noem a question at a press conference, lamented the absence of Republicans from the forum.
“Why is it just Democrats?” he asked. “Let’s not let our Republican colleagues off the hook. Under normal circumstances, regardless of who’s in the majority, when a tragedy has happened, congressional committees conduct our job to provide oversight. The Republican colleagues refused to.”
It is extremely cold these days in Florida, America. This is affecting the huge lizards present there which are called iguanas. They are reptiles and look like huge lizards.

Weather affects every living being on earth, be it human or animal. Humans have learned the skill of coping with climate change on the basis of their evolution, but animals have to fight with it. Due to the effect of this weather, lizards are in trouble in America these days. They are falling from the tree like dry leaves. People are picking them up from the ground and taking them to safe places. But what is the reason for this and what is this whole matter? Let us tell you.
New York Post According to the report, it is extremely cold these days in Florida, America. This is affecting the huge lizards present there which are called iguanas. They are reptiles and look like huge lizards. Since they are cold blooded creatures, their blood starts freezing during winter. You must have noticed that lizards are not seen in your houses even during cold days. This is the reason, lizards hide in the cracks during cold weather and spend the winter there. She becomes exactly like a mannequin so that her body remains warm.
iguanas falling from trees According to reports, about 1 million iguanas live in trees in Florida. Now that these iguanas have started freezing from the cold, they are falling down from the trees like leaves. They are falling down frozen just like ice. Although it is prohibited for common citizens to touch or pick up iguanas in Florida, but considering the current situation, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has decided that they will set up a temporary collection center in the city, where citizens can collect these lizards.
The administration appealed for help The administration said that in view of this weather, it is not necessary that people pick up the iguanas and bring them to the collection centre. If they want, then keep them in the sun yourself, so that they can become active again and go to the tree. But if people want to help in environmental protection, they can call the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they will come and collect them.

Ryan Kennedy, a Michigan resident and self-described Detroit Lions fan, is taking legal action following a December altercation with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf at Ford Field.
Kennedy and his legal team held a news conference in Farmington Hills, Michigan, on Dec. 26. On Tuesday, attorneys representing Kennedy announced that a lawsuit had been filed in Wayne County Court. The lawsuit seeks $100 million in damages stemming from the Dec. 21 incident and names DK Metcalf, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ford Field, the Lions’ longtime home stadium.
Former NFL player Chad Johnson, Ford Field management and multiple media platforms were also listed in the lawsuit, alleging that they played a role in making “defamatory and life-altering statements” against Kennedy in the aftermath of the incident.

The filing outlines nine counts, including negligence against Ford Field and multiple defamation claims against Metcalf, Johnson and former NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe’s Shay Shay Media.
During the first half of the Lions–Steelers game on Dec. 21, Metcalf appeared to take a swing at Kennedy, who was seated in the Ford Field stands. The NFL later disciplined Metcalf with a two-game suspension to close the regular season.
On an episode of Shay Shay Media’s “Nightcap” podcast released the day after the incident, co-host Chad Johnson said Metcalf told him Kennedy directed a racial slur at the Steelers receiver and used a derogatory term toward Metcalf’s mother.
Kennedy denied using any slurs at a December press conference, a claim reiterated in the lawsuit.

“The statements were false and reckless,” the lawsuit states. “Plaintiff Kennedy did not call Defendant Metcalf the ‘N-word’; did not call Defendant Metcalf’s mother a ‘c—‘; and did not ever use any racial slurs or hate speech whatsoever … Defendant Metcalf provided false information to Defendant Johnson about what Plaintiff Kennedy allegedly said, thereby instigating and authorizing the publication of the defamatory and reckless statements, which were intended to harm Plaintiff Kennedy.”

Kennedy is also taking legal action against the Steelers for the team’s alleged liability in the incident, while Metcalf is accused of committing assault and battery in the lawsuit. The claims against Ford Field management are also based on liability.
“Defendant Ford Field Management, LLC breached its duty by failing to establish or enforce adequate barriers, protocols, or security measures to prevent players from reaching into the stands and making physical contact with patrons,” the lawsuit reads.
Fox News Digital contacted the Lions requesting comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
Metcalf recorded 850 receiving yards in his first season with the Steelers.
A trio of domains that allegedly distributed pirated content, including movies, TV shows, video games and other content was seized by the U.S. government as part of a globally coordinated crackdown on copyright infringement, the Justice Department said Friday.
The sites — zamunda.net, arenabg.com and zelka.org — were among the most popular domains in Bulgaria and likely generated significant revenue from ads, officials said. Seizure notices are currently displayed on all three sites warning visitors that illegal distribution of copyrighted works is a crime.
Officials said the U.S.-registered domains received tens of millions of visits a year, including one that often ranked in the top 10 most visited sites in Bulgaria. Multiple Bulgarian agencies assisted with the investigation alongside Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Mississippi and the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center.
The sites offered visitors thousands of infringed works, resulting in millions of downloads that carry a collective retail value of millions of dollars, prosecutors said.
The seizures were announced just days after similar actions in Italy where police seized three allegedly illegal IPTV services that distributed pirated content to millions of users. The operation, dubbed “Switch off,” dismantled IT infrastructure the unnamed sites used to distribute content owned by Sky, Dazn, Mediaset, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Paramount, Disney+ and other media companies, officials said.
Italian police said they found evidence linking the IPTV sites to 31 members of a transnational organized crime group and searched the suspects’ residences in Italy. Authorities identified an additional 14 suspects in the United Kingdom, Spain, Romania and Kosovo.
“The suspects adopted advanced anonymization strategies that have materialized in a series of operations, such as investing in cryptocurrencies, the fictitious heading of assets and the establishment of fictitious companies,” Italian State Police said in a statement.
The actions in Italy were announced about a week before the country hosts the Winter Olympics in Milan, which gets underway Feb. 6.
NSW Labor backbenchers have vowed to attend a Sydney protest against a visit by Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, with one stating he’s attending because Australia should not be welcoming the head of a state engaged in an “ongoing genocide”.
Another member of the government said he was attending – despite the premier opposing any rallies – to show that “Bondi was not caused by such protests”.
Upper house Labor MLCs Cameron Murphy, Stephen Lawrence and Sarah Kaine said they would attend Monday evening’s rally organised by Palestine Action Group as part of a nationwide protest. But it was not yet clear whether they would march from Town Hall to state parliament despite an effective ban.
Chris Minns’ push to prohibit marches in designated areas following the Bondi terror attack is continuing after the NSW police commissioner, Mal Lanyon, extended the restriction for a fourth time on Tuesday.
Lanyon said Herzog’s visit was a factor in his decision. The restriction prevents the authorisation of protests under the form 1 system – which means protesters who march risk being arrested for obstructing traffic, for example.
Organisers of the Sydney protest have said they plan to march from Town Hall to Macquarie Street despite it falling within the restriction zone. They have called on NSW police to help facilitate that peacefully.
Murphy said he would attend the rally “because we should not be welcoming to Australia the head of a state engaged in an ongoing genocide”. He told Guardian Australia that Herzog had signed a bomb and had “no regard for international law as an active supporter of illegal settlements”.
Lawrence said he would go to the rally at Town Hall but would decide on Monday whether to march. He said he would comply with the law.
“I will be attending the rally because I want to make the obvious but important points that peaceful protest is lawful in this country; that Bondi was not caused by such protests; and that inviting the head of a state whose head of government is under ICC indictment suggests we don’t take proceedings seriously,” he told Guardian Australia.
On Tuesday evening, Lawrence said of the police’s decision to extend the ban on marches in certain areas: “I’m just not sure that continually extending this thing to apply it to the visit of the Israeli president is actually going to make us more safe.”
“It could be creating a flashpoint, and it concerns me,” he told ABC radio.
The current protest ban is facing a constitutional challenge. Lawrence, who is also a barrister, raised serious concerns over the hearing being delayed.
He pointed out that the state had agreed the case could be heard on 16 January, but “after the judge on duty spoke to the chief justice, it was then not listed until the end of February”.
“The people who seek to protest have not had the opportunity to have the court rule on it,” Lawrence said.
Kaine said she would attend PAG’s rally, at which she was scheduled to speak. Asked if she would march if that went through the restricted area, she said: “At the moment, my plans are to attend a legal protest.”
“We all just have to be aware that what is legal is nuanced,” Kaine told Guardian Australia, adding she would be attending on Monday evening, “in the light of the discussions around protest that have been going on,” and to object to Herzog’s visit.
“I don’t think we should be welcoming someone to this country who is so heavily implicated in the actions that have resulted in the death of 75,000 innocent Gazans.”
A spokesperson for the Palestine Action Group, Josh Lees, said on Tuesday there had been no safety issues at the near-weekly pro-Palestine rallies held over the past two years. Minns declared on Tuesday that “we just can’t have a riot in Sydney”.
Minns said on Wednesday he had not spoken to MPs who planned to attend rallies during Herzog’s visit. The premier said police were negotiating with the Palestine Action Group about the location of their protest.
Asked if the government was divided over Herzog’s visit, Minns said: “Look, the cabinet’s certainly not.” He accepted there had been division in the wider party “or even Labor MPs … and that’s been the way for a long period of time”.
Minns was asked on Wednesday about the possibility of Labor politicians being arrested under legislation rushed through parliament in December. The premier replied: “I don’t think that’s necessarily the case that that will happen.”
The state Greens MP for Newtown, Jenny Leong, said on Wednesday: “If there’s a march, I’ll be marching.”
“Neither the premier nor the police commissioner will stop me and the thousands of others who know genocide is wrong – and we have a right to protest.”
A UN commission concluded in September 2025 that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza. That commission, which does not speak on behalf of the UN, stated that Herzog, Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and then defence minister, Yoav Gallant, “have incited the commission of genocide”.
Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the commission’s report, calling it “distorted and false” and claiming it “relies entirely on Hamas falsehoods”.
Herzog has called the genocide case against Israel in the international court of justice a “form of blood libel” and pushed back on criticism of his 2023 statement that “it is an entire nation out there that is responsible” for the 7 October attacks on Israel.
He claimed he had been taken out of context, and noted he had said in the same media appearance that Israel would respect international law and there was no excuse for the killing of innocent civilians. The ICJ is yet to issue its final ruling.
FBI Director Kash Patel doubled down on his defense of the agency’s election hub raid in Fulton County, Georgia during a wide-ranging interview on “Special Report” Tuesday.
Federal investigators “followed the parameters of the search warrant and secured the evidence,” Patel told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier.
“What you saw play out last week was the execution of that search warrant, just like we would do anywhere else. The target of that search warrant was a warehouse down in Fulton County,” he said.
On Jan. 28, FBI agents seized ballots, voting rolls and election records during a search of the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center tied to the 2020 election.
Patel maintained the agency had “probable cause” to search the facility in Georgia, a state where President Donald Trump narrowly lost to former President Joe Biden.
While the FBI director refused to discuss further details of the search warrant due to it still being under seal, he explained how the raid was authorized.

“We did the same thing there we do in any criminal case or investigation,” Patel said.
“We collected evidence, we presented that evidence to a federal magistrate judge, who made a finding of probable cause and said, ‘Here’s your search warrant, here are the parameters to that search warrant.'”
Patel went on to address Trump’s phone call with FBI agents following the search, after Baier noted it is “unusual” for a president to get involved on an “agent level.”
The agents appreciate that Trump “backs the blue,” Patel replied, adding the president called to thank investigators personally.

“To hear from the commander in chief, from my troops on the ground there, was a pretty cool thing,” Patel said. “And we are pleased to hear the president come in and say thank you for [what] you’re doing. That is maybe unusual from prior administrations, but I take it every chance I get to thank the men and women in law enforcement.”
Baier went on to question Patel about National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard’s presence overseeing the FBI search.
“This doesn’t suggest there is some international element to this?” Baier asked.
While Patel did not explain Gabbard’s presence, he added he is “happy to have a team of investigators involved.”
Fox News Digital obtained a letter from Gabbard to congressional lawmakers Monday that said Trump “specifically directed” her to be present during the FBI search.

“For a brief period of time, I accompanied FBI Deputy Director Bailey and Atlanta Acting Special Agent in Charge Pete Ellis in observing FBI personnel executing that search warrant, issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia pursuant to a probable cause finding,” she wrote.
Gabbard said her “presence was requested by the President and executed under my broad statutory authority to coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence related to election security, including counterintelligence (CI), foreign and other malign influence, and cybersecurity.”
“The FBI’s Intelligence/Counterintelligence divisions are one of the 18 elements that I oversee,” she wrote.

A Utah prosecutor involved in the case against Tyler Robinson, the alleged killer of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk, denied allegations of a conflict of interest in the case during a hearing on Tuesday.
Robinson’s attorneys have argued that a judge should disqualify local prosecutors because the adult daughter of Chad Grunander, a deputy county attorney, was in attendance at the rally on a Utah college campus where Kirk was shot dead. The defense alleges that the office’s move to seek the death penalty just days after Kirk’s killing indicated a “strong emotional reaction” from Grunander, and suggested a conflict of interest.
Grunander and his daughter testified before Judge Tony Graf in Provo, Utah, on Tuesday. Grunander told the court his daughter’s presence did not play a role in his office’s decision to seek the death penalty, and prosecutors opted to do so because they felt they had sufficient evidence against Robinson.
The county attorney Jeffrey Gray testified on Tuesday that he had considered seeking the death penalty before authorities arrested Robinson, and said he had announced his intention to do so early because the case had already attracted significant attention from the public.
The testimony came as the defense and prosecution seek to hash out procedural issues in the case ahead of the trial, including whether graphic videos of the killing should be shown in court. Robinson’s attorneys have asked the judge in the case to block the footage, and requested to ban all cameras from the courtroom, arguing that “highly biased” media coverage could hinder his right to a fair trial.
Kirk’s widow, and prosecutors and attorneys for media outlets, have urged the judge to keep the proceedings open.
“In the absence of transparency, speculation, misinformation, and conspiracy theories are likely to proliferate, eroding public confidence in the judicial process,” Erika Kirk’s attorney wrote in a Monday court filing. “Such an outcome serves neither the interests of justice nor those of Ms Kirk.”
Robinson’s attorneys, however, have said that news media have become a “financial investor” in the case, and accused outlets of trying to determine what the defendant whispered to his attorneys with lip readers. During a hearing last month, a television camera operator zoomed in on Robinson’s face in violation of courtroom orders.
Legal experts have backed the validity of the defense team’s concerns. Media coverage in high-profile cases such as Tyler Robinson’s can have a direct “biasing effect” on potential jurors, said Valerie Hans, a professor at Cornell Law School.
“There were videos about the killing, and pictures and analysis (and) the entire saga of how this particular defendant came to turn himself in,” said Hans, a leading expert on the jury system. “When jurors come to a trial with this kind of background information from the media, it shapes how they see the evidence that is presented in the courtroom.”
Watching those videos might make people think, ‘Yeah, this was especially heinous, atrocious or cruel’,” Hans said.
Kirk was one of Donald Trump’s highest-profile allies and his organization, Turning Point USA, played a significant role in helping bolster Trump’s 2024 campaign. The national attention and political rhetoric around the case is expected to further complicate efforts to ensure Robinson receives a fair trial.
Even before Robinson was charged, people jumped to conclusions about who the shooter could be and what kind of politics he espoused, said University of Utah law professor Teneille Brown.
“People are just projecting a lot of their own sense of what they think was going on, and that really creates concerns about whether they can be open to hearing the actual evidence that’s presented,” she said.
Robinson has not yet entered a plea in the case. Prosecutors have said he has been linked to the killing with DNA evidence. He reportedly texted his romantic partner that he targeted Kirk because he “had enough of his hatred”.
