Investigation Details:
Super Micro is a $35 billion, high-powered server and storage solutions manufacturer that sells its hardware to technology companies for use as servers for websites, data storage, and artificial intelligence applications. Servers and storage systems accounted for 92% of Super Micro’s net sales in 2023, with 61% of its latest quarterly revenue coming from sales in the United States.
On August 27, 2024, Hindenburg Research published a critical research report titled “Super Micro: Fresh Evidence of Accounting Manipulation, Sibling Self-Dealing and Sanctions Evasion at This AI High Flyer,” alleging, among other things, that it “found glaring accounting red flags, evidence of undisclosed related party transactions, sanctions and export control failures, and customer issues.” According to the report, Hindenburg Research claims that the alleged fraud and “improper revenue recognition,” “sanctions evasion,” and “competition and quality concerns” are confirmed as a result of a three-month investigation, through interviews with former senior employees and industry experts, review of litigation records, and international corporate and customs records.
In response to the Hindenburg Research report and the Company’s decision to delay the filing of its Form 10-K to investigate Hindenburg’s allegations, shares of Super Micro plunged to their lowest in almost six years to trade as low as $395.18 per share on August 28, 2024, falling more than 29% (or more than $167) from its close on August 26, 2024, erasing more than $9.7 billion in market value.
On September 25, 2024, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Justice Department is investigating the server maker for alleged accounting irregularities. As a result, Super Micro stock fell more than 15%.
