Apple declined 1% following a Jefferies downgrade to underperform, with analysts citing canceled plans for an all-glass iPhone. Rocket Lab rose nearly 3% ahead of its second-quarter earnings report after the bell. Berkshire Hathaway added 0.5% after reporting a 16% increase in second-quarter operating earnings, driven by manufacturing, service, retailing, and energy profits, though insurance investment income fell 9%. Archer Aviation surged after announcing the acquisition of three Boeing subsidiaries, with Boeing taking an undisclosed stake.

Soaring AI infrastructure demand is fueling a major backlog buildup across servers, networking, and power equipment, with Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Super Micro Computer, and GE Vernova all reporting sharply higher order books. Dell raised its fiscal 2027 AI server revenue forecast to about $60 billion, while HPE reported cumulative AI systems bookings of $16.4 billion and a total AI backlog exceeding $6.3 billion. Supermicro disclosed approximately $39 billion of orders from more than 20 customers in June, and by July total new orders received during its fiscal fourth quarter had exceeded $60 billion, pushing backlog to a record level. GE Vernova’s Electrification business saw data-center orders exceed $5 billion year to date, more than twice its total data-center orders for 2025, and its gas-power equipment backlog and slot reservations reached 116 gigawatts. The broadening backlog signals that AI infrastructure spending is expanding beyond GPUs, though execution risks and customer concentration remain key concerns.

Wedbush said that significantly stronger gross margins highlighted Super Micro Computer's preliminary update for its fiscal fourth quarter results and also indicated positives for Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Nvidia. Super Micro shares surged about 16% premarket on Wednesday after the company said GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are estimated to be in the range of 15% to 17%, higher than its guidance of 8.2% to 8.4%, mainly due to a favorable customer and product mix. The AI infrastructure solutions provider also said that revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 are estimated to be near the low end of its guidance range of $11 billion to $12.5 billion, with the consensus revenue estimate at $11.68 billion. Analyst Matt Bryson noted that if system shortages driven by a lack of component availability are allowing for more favorable pricing, this dynamic could persist and Super Micro might produce meaningfully better gross margins and earnings per share than previously anticipated in the third calendar quarter of 2026 and possibly for several quarters. Bryson added that the sharp increase in order backlog fits with feedback suggesting large future data center orders, and that shortages of server components can only be seen as positive for the broader supply chain, with Nvidia arguably the largest single beneficiary given that the vast bulk of OEM and Super Micro AI server builds rely on Nvidia GPUs and Nvidia has done the best job of any component vendor in securing its supply chain. Wedbush maintained its Neutral rating and $34 price target on Super Micro's stock.

Super Micro Computer shares surged about 17% in premarket trading after the server maker reported preliminary fourth-quarter results with much stronger profitability than expected, offsetting revenue near the low end of guidance.

CME Group added 1% after reporting second-quarter earnings and revenue above expectations and noting its best first half of a year ever.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that enterprises face a fundamental imbalance in AI deployment, paying twice for intelligence while leaking proprietary knowledge through model interactions. In a July 12 essay, he argued that every prompt and correction becomes exhaust that reveals how an organization operates, urging companies to run AI within their own tenant boundary to counter this Reverse Information Paradox. Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported a $6 billion AI server backlog, roughly 60% from sovereign nations and enterprise clients, while Dell Technologies exited last quarter with a $51 billion backlog amid growing demand for on-premise solutions. The combined server backlogs of these two companies alone have reached $57 billion, underscoring the scale of enterprise investment in controlled AI infrastructure. Nadella's essay aligns with Microsoft's positioning through Azure AI Foundry, which offers model-agnostic orchestration for hybrid cloud and on-premise deployments.

Shares of hardware and infrastructure companies Everpure and NetApp rose sharply after IBM issued a revenue warning that indicated enterprise IT budgets are pivoting toward server and memory purchases. IBM pre-announced adjusted earnings of $2.93 per share on $17.2 billion in revenue, missing Wall Street estimates, with CEO Arvind Krishna attributing the shortfall to clients suddenly reallocating capital expenditure toward servers, storage, and memory in late June. The news sent Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise higher, while IBM dropped, highlighting a divergence between hardware vendors and traditional software or consulting providers. Everpure jumped 3.8% and NetApp surged 6.4% as analysts at Morgan Stanley noted the dynamic suggests strong enterprise demand for physical infrastructure driven by hardware refresh cycles and AI-related compute shortages. However, the surge may partly reflect short-term panic-buying ahead of expected price increases, and the durability of the trend will depend on sustained backlog growth in upcoming quarterly reports from Dell and HPE.

Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise shares jumped after IBM issued a revenue warning that signaled enterprise IT budgets are rapidly moving toward server and memory purchases. IBM pre-announced adjusted earnings of $2.93 per share on $17.2 billion in revenue, missing Wall Street estimates, and CEO Arvind Krishna said clients suddenly reprioritized spending in late June toward servers, storage, and memory to secure supply-constrained infrastructure ahead of expected price increases, causing large software and consulting deals to stall. Dell rose 7.7% and Hewlett Packard Enterprise gained 5.3% as analysts at Morgan Stanley noted the dynamic illustrates how hardware refresh cycles and AI-related compute shortages are forcing companies to accept significant price increases for physical infrastructure. The shift suggests enterprise demand for physical infrastructure remains strong, though a key risk is that the surge may partly reflect short-term panic-buying rather than sustainable multi-year demand.
