Super Micro Computer Stock Surges After Positive Update
Premarket trading on Wednesday witnessed a significant rise in the share price of Super Micro Computer (SMCI), reaching an impressive 12% increase. This positive sentiment follows the tech company's announcement to submit delayed filings to the SEC by the Nasdaq's Feb. 25 deadline, thereby avoiding delisting.
Super Micro's CEO, Charles Liang, expressed confidence during a call with investors late Tuesday, projecting a potential revenue of $40 billion for the fiscal year 2026. This ambitious revenue goal aligns with the company's recent announcement of the availability of its server systems utilizing Nvidia's Blackwell AI chips for data centers.
Despite preliminary second-quarter earnings for fiscal 2025 falling short of Wall Street estimates, SMCI shares initially declined after the bell on Tuesday. However, the market sentiment reversed, leading to a gain of over 19% by the end of the day.
Super Micro has faced challenges in recent months, including allegations in a short-seller report and an ongoing investigation by the US Department of Justice. However, the company has refuted these claims and appointed a new accountant, offering reassurance to investors.
Super Micro's stock had experienced a surge prior to its business update on Feb. 11. The company confirmed receiving subpoenas from both the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission but continues to cooperate with the document requests.
