Super Micro Computer announced it is shipping NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 racks and reaffirmed a strong $60 billion order book supporting its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook.
overnight drift: long SMCI at close, exit next close (product: Super Micro Computer announced it is shipping NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 racks and reaffirmed a strong $60 billion order book supporting its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook.)
Signal: Right — the long call on the positive news worked; the stock rose ~3.5% from entry to exit.
Timing: Largely intact at entry — only a modest +1.15% pop in the last 30 minutes and entry just 0.65% above the prior close, so the bulk of the move came after the fill.
Exit: Good capture — the +3.5% realized P&L took roughly three-quarters of the +4.72% best unrealized move, with minimal drawdown (-0.86%). Dominant factor: a correct directional signal executed before the move; nothing in this data suggests a timing or exit problem.

Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 70.
