SIMO will probably pre-announce Q3 revenues and gross margins Monday or Tuesday next week.

I got no special view on how business has been going. All the commentary has been that data center and AI SSDs are booming, and everything else stinks. Despite this, the top of SIMO's Q4 guided range shows growth over reported Q2 results. Normally SIMO beats the high end of their own guidance, so I supposed sales are looking to be about $210m and gross margins who knows?

The interesting thing is SIMO's full year 2024 gross margin guidance implies a very large ramp (up about 2% sequentially) in gross margins in Q4 relative to Q3. Maybe it's Mon Titan sales in Q4? Maybe all the low priced controllers they pre-sold in the 2023 slump have finally exited the revenue stream? Whatever it is, if gross margins are going to go up to 48% and stay there (or move higher) that would be super.
