• Bull Case Target: $100.23–$101.40 — cycle reversion zone

ROI Scenario Modeling

Best Case Scenario

• Entry: $20.29

• Exit Target: $100.23

• Estimated ROI: +395%

• Probability Weight: Low–Moderate (requires earnings recovery + breakout)

Base Case Scenario

• Entry: $20.29

• Exit Target: $51.12

• Estimated ROI: +152%

• Probability Weight: Highest (structural mean reversion within range)

Worst Case Scenario

• Entry: $20.29

• Invalidation: $17.25

• Estimated ROI: ~ −15%

• Probability Weight: Moderate (cyclical demand contraction)

9. Strategic Interpretation (MCC Risk Mandate)

• If price holds above $20.29 and shows evidence of demand absorption, then phased accumulation is appropriate.

• If price breaks and closes below $17.25, then capital preservation takes priority and exposure is reduced.

• If price breaks above $51.12 with improving fundamentals, then re-rating toward the next structural resistance is warranted.

10. Investment Synthesis

Super Micro Computer’s secular positioning in AI compute infrastructure is intact, but near-term deployment should be driven by structural validation and valuation discipline rather than momentum extrapolation; the highest probability opportunities are located where price intersects defined demand zones and aligns with earnings stability, allowing capital to be deployed with asymmetric risk-reward characteristics.

11. Message from the CEO and Fund Manager

Zaid Khan, CEO and Fund Manager of Manhattan Crypto Capital, emphasizes that sustainable long-term returns are generated through disciplined valuation assessment, structural confirmation, and respect for capital preservation. MCC’s research process prioritizes confirmed demand absorption, defined risk limits, and alignment between fundamentals and price structure before risking incremental capital, especially in cyclically sensitive technology exposures such as SMCI.
