Supermicrocomputer

Can a Tech Giant Rewrite Its Future While Racing Against Time?In a remarkable display of corporate resilience, Super Micro Computer stands at the intersection of crisis and opportunity, navigating regulatory challenges while simultaneously revolutionizing the AI infrastructure landscape. As the company addresses its Nasdaq compliance requirements through comprehensive reforms, including the strategic appointment of BDO USA as its new independent auditor, it hasn't missed a beat in its technological innovation trajectory - a feat that has left critics and supporters watching intently. The numbers tell a compelling story of growth amidst adversity: a staggering 110% revenue surge to $15 billion in FY2024, coupled with a nearly 90% increase in adjusted earnings. But, perhaps more impressive is Supermicro's technical leadership, maintaining an 18-24 month advantage over competitors in liquid-cooled AI rack technology and demonstrating the capability to deploy 100,000-GPU liquid-cooled AI data centers. This technical prowess, combined with strategic partnerships with industry giants like NVIDIA, positions Supermicro at the forefront of the AI infrastructure revolution. Looking ahead, Supermicro's journey represents more than just a corporate turnaround story - it's a masterclass in organizational agility and strategic focus. While many companies might have faltered under the weight of regulatory scrutiny, Supermicro has instead used this moment as a catalyst for transformation, strengthening its corporate governance while accelerating its innovation pipeline. With analyst projections indicating 40%+ earnings growth for FY2025 and revenue expected to surge over 70%, the company's trajectory suggests that sometimes, the most significant opportunities for growth emerge from the crucible of challenge.

SMCI is -85% a buy opportunity while accounting issues continue?Super Micro Computer Inc (SMCI) still haven't found a new Auditing Firm, after it was announced last week that Ernst & Young left them raising governance and management communication issues. Yesterday's Low represents almost a -85% drop from the March $122.50 All Time High (ATH). So is this level a bargain and a buy opportunity for long-term investors? Well while the company hasn't filed the necessary paperwork to meet the regulatory requirements to remain listed on the stock market and no auditor is hired to confirm and signs their reports, investor confidence will remain low (to say the least). It appears that SMCI has turned into the new short favorite for Hedge Funds and that's never ideal. Technically though, the stock hit yesterday its 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time in 4 years (since October 26 2020)! With that contact, the price initiated a strong multi-week rally that made a new High. This is a textbook buy for long-term investors. Of course it is all about risk and money management and since regulatory risks remain, the capital invested best to be less than usual. Another technical factor supporting a buy on these levels is the 1W RSI, which got oversold (<30.00) for the first time since the weeks of March 16 2020 (almost 31.50) and October 01 2018 (U.S. - China trade wars). Both these times, SMCI kick-started enormous rallies. The October 01 2018 bottom in particular is the starting date of the Fibonacci Channel Up on this chart, which encompasses SMCI's logarithmic growth these past years. As a result the company has only experienced 3 major long-term buy opportunities with the most recent 4 years ago. At the same time, yesterday's Low didn't only make contact with Fibonacci 1.0 of the Channel Up (i.e. the initial top until the price turned parabolic and broke-out) but also almost touched the 0.382 horizontal Fib level, starting all the way from October 2018. It is obvious that purely from a technical perspective such levels are as good as a buy can get. Proper risk management and an exit strategy are needed (in case of delisting) and long-term investors can be patient and take their time to target the $122.50 High again for enormous gains (could take even 1 year). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Super Micro Computer (SMCI): Strong Entry After Stock SplitSo far, we’re seeing a strong entry on NASDAQ:SMCI following the 1:10 stock split at the beginning of October. The stock has experienced a relief pump of about 20%, which is a solid move in the right direction. 🔥 Super Micro Computer announced on Monday that it’s currently shipping over 100,000 graphics processors per quarter. Additionally, the company introduced a new suite of liquid cooling products, which further fueled its shares, pushing them up 14% after weeks of slumping. If these gains hold, Super Micro is on track to add more than $3 billion to its market value. At this point, the first resistance level has been met, and we are closely monitoring how the stock reacts. If NASDAQ:SMCI can reclaim and stay above this level, it will likely move toward the next resistance area, offering more potential for upside. As always, we’re keeping a close eye on developments and will update you with any new moves.

SMCI Is it a buy after -35% dip and the leave of their auditors?Super Micro Computer is oversold on all timeframes and is approaching that level even on 1W (RSI = 35.160, MACD = -7.190, ADX = 44.214). The reason for the -35% daily collapse is of course the resignation of their auditors, Ernst & Young, which have raised concerns over SMCI's governance since late July. News have even hit the market that there are fears of delisting. Now fundamentally, even though the street has seen its fair share of accounting frauds in the past, those make up only a tiny minority. Normally when such pessimistic news hit the market, long term investors should be viewing the dynamics objectively. Is it worth buying despite all the negatives? A quick answer can be given by just looking at the technicals. Any high cap stock that falls roughly -75% from its All Time High (ATH) is objectively a great long term investment opportunity. For SMCI in particularly it has almost lost -75% of its value in 8 months, with the company absorbing almost any negative news there could be out there. The price is right now at $33.00 with its 1W MA200 currently sitting at $22.95 (and rising), which is the long term support since April 20th 2020. Before that trendline, there is the HL 2 to consider that started on July 5th 2022. In the meantime, the 1W RSI is testing sideways the S1 Zone, a buy level that is holding since July 2015. It has to be said that the -75% decline is SMCI strongest within such period of time, with the most recent before it being during the U.S.-China trade wars (October 1st 2018 at -68.30%). That collapse recovered in 6 months as it reached its 0.786 Fibonacci level. If SMCI announces soon their new auditing firm and calm the market about their practices, there is a strong probability to see the price testing the current 0.786 Fib (TP = 90.00). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

Super Micro Computer (SMCI): Time to buy in after a -70% drop!Since our first analysis a while ago, we've been inching closer and closer to our target area on $SMCI. Since then, we've seen a price drop of 40%, which is far from irrelevant, with the stock retracing nearly 70% from its peak. We're witnessing a clear and recurring pattern here—what we call the "staircase to hell." Each push to a level has been met with rejection, which is exactly why we see a buying opportunity forming. We are now making our first bid here as a market entry. This is intended to be a swing trade that we plan to carry into 2025, with a target of reaching previous highs again. Therefore, we're not worried about getting a "perfect" entry within 1-2% but instead setting a DCA bid a bit lower for an optimal position if NASDAQ:SMCI comes down further. Below the market entry, there's an important Fibonacci cluster that combines the 200% target of Wave C, the 78.6% retracement of Wave (2), and a target for Wave ((v)), all aligning well. With these multiple levels coinciding, there's a strong possibility we will see the price reach this zone. If so, we’ll place another bid to buy more shares. If NASDAQ:SMCI manages to flip the first resistance, we expect it to move up quickly. As we always say, patience is the key to successful swing trading—don’t let greed or fear cloud your decisions 🤝.

SUPERMICRO. BUY WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE STREETS.The worse the market - the greater the opportunity to profit it gives. This seems to be the credo of contrarian, or counter investing. Nathan Rothschild, a 19th-century British financier and member of the Rothschild banking family, is credited with saying: “The time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.” Whether or not Rothschild actually uttered this famous line, it reveals an important truth about betting against market psychology. When prices are falling and markets are shaky, bold contrarian investing can yield big returns. Key Takeaways 👉 Contrarian investing is a strategy that goes against prevailing market trends or sentiment. 👉 The idea is that markets are subject to herd behavior, fueled by fear and greed, which causes markets to periodically overprice or underprice. 👉 “Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful,” said Warren Buffett. This phrase embodies a similar philosophy, perhaps just in a slightly more succinct form. Historically, market panics can be a great opportunity for cheap investing. Most d̶u̶m̶b̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶ people want to have ONLY WINNERS in their portfolios, but as Warren Buffett warned, “In the stock market, you pay a very high price for a happy consensus.” In other words, if the crowd is unanimous in agreeing on an investment decision, it’s probably NOT A GOOD ONE. Going Against the dumbass Crowd Contrarians, as the name suggests, try to do the opposite of the crowd. They get excited when a good company’s stock price drops sharply and unfairly. They swim against the tide and assume that the market is usually wrong at both extreme lows and highs. The more prices fluctuate, the more delusional they think the rest of the market is. Contrarian investors believe that people say the market is going up when and why they are fully invested and have no further buying power. At that point, the market is peaking and should be going down. When people predict a decline, they are already sold out, and at that point, the market can only go up. For this reason, contrarian thinking is great for figuring out whether a particular stock has actually bottomed. Bad times build wealth 😬 Contrarian investors have historically made their best investments during times of market turmoil. During the 1987 crash (also known as Black Monday), the Dow Jones Industrial Average in the US fell 22% in one day. 😬 During the 1973–74 bear market, the market lost 45% in about 22 months. 😬 The September 11, 2001 attacks also caused the market to fall significantly. I AM CERTAINLY NOT AN ADVOCATE OF VIOLANCE But the list of facts goes on and on. And these were the times when contrarians found their best investments. 😬 The 1973–1974 bear market gave Warren Buffett the opportunity to buy a stake in the Washington Post Company, an investment that subsequently rose more than 100 times its purchase price. That’s before dividends. Buffett said at the time that he was buying the company’s shares at a deep discount, as evidenced by the fact that the company could “sell (the Post’s) assets to any of 10 buyers for at least $400 million, probably considerably more.” more." Meanwhile, the Washington Post's market cap at the time was just $80 million. In 2013, the company was sold to Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos for $250 million in cash. 😬 After the 9/11 attacks, the world stopped moving for a while. Let's say you were investing in Boeing (BA), one of the world's largest commercial aircraft makers, during that time. Boeing's stock bottomed out just a year after 9/11, but since then, it has more than quadrupled in the next five years. Clearly, while 9/11 may have temporarily soured market sentiment on the airline industry, those who had done their research and were willing to bet on Boeing's survival were well rewarded. 😬 Sir John Templeton ran the Templeton Growth Fund from 1954 to 1992, when he sold it. For every $10,000 invested, into an A-share fund in 1954 would have grown to $2 million by 1992 with dividends reinvested, or an annual return of about 14.5%. Templeton was a pioneer of international investing. He was also a serious contrarian investor, buying into countries and companies when, according to his principle, they reached their "POINT OF MAX. PESSIMISM." Four years later, he sold the stock for a huge profit. The Risks of Contrarian Investing While the most famous contrarian investors bet big money, went against the grain, and succeeded, they also did a lot of research to make sure the crowd was wrong. So when a stock takes a big dive, it doesn't prompt the contrarian to place an immediate buy order, but to figure out what caused the stock to fall and whether the price drop is justified. Knowing which distressed stocks to buy and sell once the company recovers is a major concern for contrarian investors. This can lead to stocks that deliver much higher returns than usual. However, being overly optimistic about hyped stocks can have the opposite effect. Final Points. 👉 While each of these successful contrarian investors has their own strategy for evaluating potential investments, they all have one thing in common: they let the market give them deals instead of chasing them. 👉 What's next for Supermicro stock? Who knows, who knows.. It's very individual and depends on what you're looking for... opportunity or denial. 👉 The current 6-month return on investment in Supermicro stock is -58.44% - a pretty rare occurrence for SMCI. This has never happened before.. even in times of WFC, Covid-19 or smth else. Indeed, several times 6-months returns were quite negative for SMCI. Then Supermicro shares doubled or even tripled in price in just several next years. What principle and style of investing do you adhere to?!

SMCI: Are we back in business??Super Micro Computer just broke over the LH 1 trendline holding since July 15th and is about to turn bullish again on the 1D technical outlook (RSI = 54.296, MACD = -2.380, ADX = 24.033). Coming off a double bottom (DB), the only resistance left before the bullish trend is resumed, is the 1D MA50 (untested since July 17th). The 1D RSI already made its breakout over its own R level. When the 1D MA50 breaks, target the LH2 trendline (TP = 78.00). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

Super Micro Computer Stock up 16% Amidst AI DemandSuper Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ) has recently been thrust back into the spotlight after announcing a surge in shipments of its advanced graphics processing units (GPUs). These GPUs, driven by the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, are powering some of the largest AI factories globally. The company revealed that it has deployed over 100,000 GPUs utilizing its proprietary liquid cooling technology, designed to help AI data centers cut down on energy costs while improving operational performance. The news has given NASDAQ:SMCI a fresh momentum, with the stock soaring 16.37% as of Monday’s trading. AI Boom Fueling Growth The ongoing boom in AI is playing a pivotal role in NASDAQ:SMCI ’s resurgence. The company, which supplies critical server infrastructure used for AI model training, data storage, and large-scale cloud operations, has been a significant beneficiary of the rising demand for GPU-powered AI systems. Partnering with Nvidia (NVDA), NASDAQ:SMCI leverages Nvidia’s cutting-edge $30,000 chips to service the growing AI sector. The company's ability to deploy more than 100,000 GPUs per quarter could translate into billions of dollars in potential revenue. Additionally, NASDAQ:SMCI 's latest innovation—its direct liquid cooling products—has opened new avenues for reducing the overall energy footprint of data centers. CEO Charles Liang noted that these solutions are already being adopted by "state-of-the-art" AI factories, further solidifying the company’s standing in the green technology landscape. Despite this growth, NASDAQ:SMCI has faced its share of challenges. The company is currently about nine weeks behind on filing its annual report, citing ongoing assessments of its internal controls over financial reporting. Furthermore, a recent investigation by the Department of Justice, following allegations of accounting manipulation by Hindenburg Research, caused shares to drop 12% last month. Still, with AI demand continuing to fuel orders, NASDAQ:SMCI ’s fundamentals remain strong. Technical Outlook: A Bullish Flag in the Making? From a technical standpoint, NASDAQ:SMCI is showing signs of a potential rebound after weeks of decline. The stock's 16% jump on Monday suggests that investors are starting to recognize the company’s growth potential once again. Currently, NASDAQ:SMCI is trading within a presumed falling trend channel, but with the latest bullish momentum, it appears ready to break out of this bearish pattern. One of the most encouraging signs on the daily price chart is the early formation of a bullish flag pattern, a signal typically associated with the continuation of an upward trend. The stock has also avoided hitting overbought or oversold territory, as reflected in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is primed for further gains. However, NASDAQ:SMCI is still trading below key moving averages (MAs), which serves as a point of caution for traders. A sustained move above these MAs could indicate a more stable reversal, suggesting that the stock might migrate from its current bearish trend into a more balanced state. Outlook: Hope in the Midst of Uncertainty While the stock remains down by over 50% from its March highs, the recent surge and new product innovations offer a glimmer of hope. If NASDAQ:SMCI can clear its regulatory hurdles and capitalize on the ongoing demand for AI infrastructure, the stock may continue to rise. The combination of fundamental strength in AI growth and the promising technical setup offers a compelling case for long-term investors. The next key for investors to watch will be NASDAQ:SMCI 's ability to regain ground above its moving averages, solidifying the bullish reversal. If the bullish flag pattern plays out, the stock could see further gains as AI demand and liquid cooling innovation continue to drive its growth.

Supermicro is well-positioned to benefit from both its focus on sustainability and the growing demand for AI infrastructure, making it a stock to watch closely in the near term and beyond.

SMCI Is it a by after the stock split??Super Micro Computer Inc (SMCI) just had their 10-for-1 stock split and what's on everyone's mind now is this: Is it a buy? Well after a fresh 8-month Low last Thursday, the market certainly doesn't look at its best, quite the contrary, it is on the worst position it could be after the July 15 High and the start of a Channel Down with series of Lower Highs and Lower Lows. There is a certain level though, where all of SMCI corrections came to an end since the March 23 2020 bullish break-out during the COVID flash crash, and that is the 1W MA100 (green trend-line). As you can see, before the stock turned completely parabolic in May 2023, it was trading within a Channel Up since the October 01 2018 market bottom. With the use of the Fibonacci Channel levels, we can accurately put into context the subsequent parabolic move too, which extended all the way to almost the 4.0 Fibonacci extension on the week of March 04 2024 and the All Time High (ATH), before starting its correction. In the meantime, notice the excellent Buy Signal that the 1W RSI is giving in the last 6 years, every time it approaches the 30.00 oversold barrier. So as long as the 1W MA100 keeps closing the stocks weekly candles above it, we will be bullish, targeting $125.00 (the ATH). If that fails to support though, expect further downside to the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line), where we will place a second long-term buy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Super Micro Computer Stock Plunges Amid Federal Accounting ProbeSuper Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ), a prominent player in the AI hardware space, saw its stock tumble by 15% on Thursday after reports surfaced that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened a federal investigation into the company. The probe, sparked by allegations of accounting manipulation and other improprieties, has sent shockwaves through the market. For a company that had been riding high on the back of the AI boom, this investigation poses serious questions about its future trajectory. The Backstory: Short-Seller Allegations and Federal Involvement The DOJ's investigation follows a damning report by Hindenburg Research, a well-known short-seller, which was released in August. In the report, Hindenburg alleged that Super Micro Computer engaged in accounting manipulation, sibling self-dealing, and sanctions evasion. The short-seller also pointed to undisclosed related-party transactions, export control violations, and suspicious customer issues. The allegations didn’t just arise from external analysis—internal turmoil has also surfaced. A former employee of Super Micro filed a whistleblower lawsuit earlier this year, accusing the company of improper accounting practices. The lawsuit also names Charles Liang, the CEO of Super Micro, who has been a central figure in the company's rise during the AI boom. These combined factors appear to have prompted federal officials to begin looking into the server manufacturer’s business practices. According to reports from *The Wall Street Journal*, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Francisco are now involved, and early-stage inquiries have been made regarding the whistleblower’s accusations. While Super Micro has declined to comment on these developments, the stock market reacted swiftly to the news, with NASDAQ:SMCI leading the day's decliners in the S&P 500. Delayed Annual Report and Market Fallout This isn't the first time Super Micro’s accounting practices have raised concerns. In August, the company announced that it would be delaying the filing of its annual report, citing the need to assess its internal controls over financial reporting. That announcement caused the stock to fall nearly 20%, hinting that investors were already skittish about the company’s financial transparency. Super Micro’s inability to file its annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on time coincided with Hindenburg's allegations, further fueling speculation that all may not be well behind the scenes. While the company has not provided clear explanations for the delay, the timing raises questions about whether the two events are linked. The Impact on Super Micro: From AI Boom to Uncertainty Super Micro (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ) had been one of the major beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom, with its server technology being a critical component for companies such as Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, all of whom are at the forefront of AI development. The company specializes in manufacturing high-performance servers used for data storage, website hosting, and AI-driven applications. Earlier this year, NASDAQ:SMCI shares hit an all-time high, having quadrupled in value thanks to the skyrocketing demand for AI hardware. As a key supplier to some of the biggest names in the tech world, Super Micro positioned itself as a crucial cog in the AI machine. The company's meteoric rise seemed unstoppable, with shares still up by 38% in 2024, even after recent setbacks. However, this latest development puts the company in a precarious position. With a federal probe underway, the future looks uncertain. Even if the company manages to clear its name, the mere specter of an accounting scandal is enough to dent investor confidence. A Look Ahead: Can Super Micro Rebound? As the federal probe unfolds, the critical question for investors is whether Super Micro can recover from this blow. While the company’s technological prowess and strategic positioning within the AI sector remain intact, the financial and legal challenges could significantly impact its future performance. Analysts are likely to keep a close watch on how the company handles the accounting investigation and whether it can restore trust with its shareholders. For now, the stock’s sharp decline serves as a reminder that even the most promising companies can face turbulence when financial transparency is called into question. With no comment from either the company or the DOJ, much remains unknown about the exact scope of the investigation or how long it will last. Super Micro's success has largely been built on its reputation as a reliable provider of server technology in the booming AI market. However, if the allegations prove to be true, the fallout could be severe, leading to deeper market losses and potentially legal consequences. Conclusion Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ) now finds itself at a critical juncture. After riding high on the AI boom, the company must now contend with a federal investigation that could unravel the confidence investors have placed in it. While Super Micro’s role in the AI revolution is undisputed, the outcome of the DOJ probe will likely determine the company's future trajectory. Investors should brace for continued volatility as the investigation progresses. For those considering a stake in NASDAQ:SMCI , caution is advisable until more information is available about the probe's findings and Super Micro’s financial health. Until then, the company remains in a precarious position, teetering between its past AI-driven success and an uncertain legal future.

SMCI DROPSuper Micro Computer (SMCI) is currently under scrutiny as it faces multiple probes and class-action lawsuits. These legal issues primarily stem from allegations of accounting manipulation and concerns over corporate governance. The investigation has been sparked by a report from Hindenburg Research, which raised serious questions about the company's financial reporting, including accusations of overstating sales, understating expenses, and engaging in "round-tripping" practices to inflate revenues​

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Faces Securities Fraud LawsuitSuper Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ) is navigating turbulent waters as the company faces a class action lawsuit alleging violations of federal securities laws. The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, has filed a lawsuit against Super Micro for potential violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as Rule 10b-5. The litigation involves accusations of misleading investors and possibly inflating financial figures. Shareholders who purchased SMCI securities between August 10, 2021, and August 26, 2024, are urged to contact the law firm before the October 29, 2024, deadline. Despite the legal headwinds, Super Micro’s stock is making waves ahead of a highly anticipated 10-for-1 stock split, which is scheduled to take effect after the closing bell on September 30, 2024. On the technical side, the stock has rebounded by 4% in recent trading, signaling renewed investor interest. However, the company has lost nearly half of its value over the past three months, weighed down by disappointing fiscal Q4 earnings and allegations of “accounting manipulation” by short seller Hindenburg Research. Legal Troubles and Market Sentiment The class action lawsuit represents a major challenge for Super Micro Computer as it grapples with accusations that could severely damage investor confidence. Violations of securities law can lead to significant penalties, reputational damage, and a prolonged legal battle, all of which could negatively affect the company’s stock price. Adding to these troubles is Hindenburg Research’s scathing report, which alleges that the company engaged in improper accounting practices, contributing to the stock's volatility in recent months. This report has stirred skepticism among some investors, although others remain focused on Super Micro’s long-term potential, particularly in the fast-growing artificial intelligence (AI) server market. Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Despite these setbacks, NASDAQ:SMCI stock is attempting to recover from its sharp decline and has recently shown some signs of life. On Monday, the stock rose by 1.78%, trading at a relative strength index (RSI) of 43, indicating that it is emerging from an oversold condition, but still showing some weakness. The RSI remains below 50, suggesting that NASDAQ:SMCI is still working to overcome bearish momentum. SMCI’s price movement has been oscillating within a descending broadening wedge formation since reaching its all-time high in March 2024. This pattern is often viewed as a bullish reversal signal once a breakout occurs, but so far, the stock has struggled to maintain upward momentum. The lower trendline of the wedge around $357 has held as key support in recent weeks, and a failure to defend this level could send shares tumbling toward $230, where previous troughs were established between August and October of last year. On the upside, the stock faces significant resistance around $700, a level that aligns with the 200-day moving average. A breakout above this resistance could trigger a rally toward $975, a price level that corresponds with several swing highs from earlier in the year. AI Server Demand and Innovation While Super Micro (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ) grapples with its legal issues, the company still holds substantial promise as a first mover in AI server infrastructure. The demand for AI server technology, particularly liquid cooling rack systems, is expected to surge as artificial intelligence applications grow. This market opportunity has led analysts at Needham to issue a “buy” rating for SMCI, with a price target of $600, which represents a potential upside of 31% from the stock's current price of $457.27. Super Micro’s expertise in high-performance computing solutions positions it well to capitalize on the rising demand for AI servers. The company's AI-focused products, including its liquid cooling rack systems, are seen as cutting-edge technology that could play a crucial role in addressing the growing data needs of AI workloads. The Path Forward: Legal Risks vs. Market Potential As SMCI prepares for its stock split and navigates its legal battles, investors will be watching closely to see how the company balances the risks of the lawsuit with its promising opportunities in the AI server market. The ongoing legal challenges could weigh on the stock in the short term, but the company’s innovative technology and growing demand for AI infrastructure offer long-term growth potential. For investors, key technical levels such as $357 and $700 will be important markers for determining whether the stock can regain its footing or continue to slide. With the stock split and lawsuit on the horizon, Super Micro Computer remains a stock to watch closely in the coming weeks. Conclusion Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ) finds itself at a critical juncture. The class action lawsuit for potential securities fraud, coupled with accusations from Hindenburg Research, presents significant risks. However, the company’s forward-looking focus on AI servers and liquid cooling systems provides a compelling case for long-term growth. As the stock split nears and legal proceedings unfold, investors should keep a close eye on both the technical price levels and any updates on the lawsuit, as these factors will heavily influence SMCI’s trajectory in the near future.

Article Title: Is AI Just Hype?In the whirlwind of AI's rapid ascent, a critical question emerges: Is the hype surrounding AI justified, or are we witnessing a bubble fueled by inflated valuations and limited innovation? Let's delve deep into the AI industry, separating the signal from the noise and providing a sobering reality check. The Super Micro Cautionary Tale The financial woes of Super Micro Computer serve as a stark warning. Despite the soaring demand for AI hardware, the company's internal challenges highlight the risks of investing solely in market enthusiasm. This case underscores the importance of **industry openness** and **due diligence** in the face of AI's allure. A Landscape of Contrasts The broader AI landscape is a tapestry of contrasting narratives. While pioneers like DeepMind and Tesla are pushing the boundaries of AI applications, a multitude of companies are capitalizing on the hype with products lacking substance. This proliferation of **AI hype** has created a toxic environment characterized by inflated valuations and a lack of substantive innovation. Market Dynamics and Future Prospects As the market for AI hardware matures, saturation and potential price drops loom. NVIDIA's dominance may be challenged by competitors, reshaping the industry landscape. The future of AI, however, lies in the development of more sophisticated systems capable of collaboration and learning. The integration of **quantum computing** could revolutionize AI, unlocking solutions to complex problems that are currently beyond our reach. Conclusion The AI industry is a complex landscape, filled with both promise and peril. While the hype surrounding AI may be tempting, it's imperative to scrutinize each company's core innovation and value. As the market matures and competition intensifies, those who can deliver **real value** and **technological advancements** will ultimately prevail. The Super Micro case serves as a stark reminder that in the realm of AI, substance, not hype, is the true currency of success.

Technical Analysis of Super Micro Computer Inc (SMCI)Upon analyzing the stock SMCI , we observe a significant turning point starting in 2022, following a long period of sideways movement where the stock struggled to break above the $40 level. After this prolonged sideways phase, the stock broke out with a clear upward trend, highlighted by the ascending trendline (green), characterized by higher highs and higher lows. Following a year of gains, the stock entered a consolidation phase but then broke out again to the upside with strength, accompanied by a substantial increase in volume. After reaching a peak in March 2024, the stock began a downward phase that is still ongoing. Potential long entry points, where the stock might bounce or change trend direction, are found in the following two support areas: Support area S1; The POC 1 area. If the stock begins to rally again, it will be crucial to monitor its behavior as it approaches the descending trendline (green), which could serve as a more conservative initial target. More ambitious targets are POC 2 and resistance R1, both within a price range of $900 to $1,000.

SMCI This is honestly the last stand.Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) suffered yet another brutal sell-off following the announcement of a delay in filing its 10-K annual report. This may prove to be a catastrophic one as technically not only did it fail exactly on its 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) but also saw the stock test the bottom of its multi-year parabolic support, the Higher Lows Zone since the week of July 05 2022. This was basically the last time the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) got tested with the current week coming the closest since then. The 1W MA100 last broke during the unexpected COVID flash crash in March 2020, so technically it is the stock's longest Support. If it fails to hold and SMCI closes a 1W candle below it, the long-term parabolic growth pattern is invalidated and we will risk testing the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) at a price potentially around $250.00. If on the other hand the 1W MA100 holds (and we will need the news sentiment to drastically reverse in order to achieve that, something that currently can't be seen on the horizon), then we can see another +400% long-term rally, in which case we estimate a Target around $2000, the stock's next critical psychological growth level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

SMCI Stock Plunges Amid Delayed 10-K Filing and AllegationsSuper Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) faced a turbulent week, with its stock plunging 25.8% after the company announced a delay in filing its annual report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This announcement came just a day after Hindenburg Research, a prominent short-seller, accused the company of accounting irregularities and other potential compliance failures, sparking investor concern and a sharp market reaction. Super Micro Computer Delays 10-K Filing Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI), a key player in the data center industry, stated that it needs additional time to complete its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending June 30. The company plans to file a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 but did not provide a clear timeline for the completion of its 10-K filing. The delay has raised alarm among investors, as timely financial reporting is crucial for maintaining market confidence and transparency. The delay also coincides with a critical report from Hindenburg Research, which accused Super Micro of "glaring accounting red flags, evidence of undisclosed related party transactions, sanctions and export control failures, and customer issues." Although the report lacks concrete details, it has contributed to heightened uncertainty and volatility in SMCI's stock. Market Reaction and Analyst Responses The market responded swiftly to the news, with NASDAQ:SMCI stock dropping by 25.8% to $406.33 in afternoon trading, its most significant decline since 2020. This sharp drop follows a period of strong performance for the stock, driven by investor enthusiasm for the company's role in supporting AI-driven data center infrastructure. Analyst opinions are divided. CFRA Research analyst Shreya Gheewala downgraded her rating on SMCI stock from "buy" to "hold" following the Hindenburg report, citing concerns over potential reputational damage and delayed financial reporting. Gheewala also lowered her price target from $729 to $454, reflecting the increased risk associated with the company. Conversely, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintained an "overweight" or "buy" rating on the stock, with a price target of $950. Chatterjee emphasized that while Super Micro may have areas for improvement in governance, transparency, and investor communication, these deficiencies do not necessarily indicate wrongdoing. He believes the company's recent growth and market positioning remain strong, particularly given the demand for AI server infrastructure. Potential Benefits for Competitors The negative sentiment around Super Micro (NASDAQ: SMCI) could present an opportunity for its competitors. According to Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani, Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) is well-positioned to capitalize on any market share losses suffered by Super Micro in the AI server segment. Dell, a major player in the industry, could benefit as customers and investors seek alternatives amid Super Micro's current challenges. Impact on Leadership and Wealth The turmoil has also significantly impacted the wealth of Super Micro's CEO, Charles Liang. Liang, who co-founded the company with his wife Sara Liu in 1993, saw his net worth collapse by 66% from a high of $9 billion in March to $3.1 billion. Despite this dramatic decrease, Liang’s fortune remains up by about $1 billion for the year, reflecting the volatile nature of tech stocks and investor sentiment. Looking Forward: Uncertainty and Opportunity While the delayed 10-K filing and the allegations from Hindenburg Research have caused immediate setbacks for Super Micro Computer, the company’s long-term prospects remain uncertain. The market reaction underscores the importance of transparency and effective communication with investors. Super Micro must now focus on restoring confidence by addressing these concerns and providing clarity regarding its financial reporting and internal controls. Meanwhile, rivals like Dell stand to benefit from any fallout, potentially gaining market share as Super Micro navigates this challenging period. As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on how Super Micro handles these issues and whether it can regain its footing in a highly competitive market.

SMCI Short-term buy opportunity within its corrective Channel. Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since the March 08 2024 High. Even though the trend on a multi-year basis is bullish, short-term investors should have this pattern in mind. Even on the shorter term though, the stock has managed to price a new Lower Low (August 08) at the bottom of the Channel Down and started its new Bullish Leg. Today's low opening has served as the first technical Higher Low on the Bullish Leg, potentially similar to the May 01 2024 Higher Low of that Channel Up. The 1D MACD has already completed a Bullish Cross, as on May 06 and naturally the next Target is a Higher High above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) again. We are aiming for $750.00 short-term. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Super Micro Computer (SMCI): Awaiting the Final Leg DownWe are considering a bullish scenario for SMCI, but it's not time to act just yet. We continue to believe that we are still in Wave (2) and that one more leg down is needed before we can see a surge higher, potentially breaching the all-time high at $1,229. Although the stock has already retraced more than 60% since reaching this ATH, we think there's still room for a bit more downside. We believe we are in Wave C of the ABC corrective movement, and typically, this Wave C contains a five-wave structure (in this case, moving downward). This five-wave structure hasn't fully played out yet, as you can clearly see. Even though a lot of longs have been opened at $512, which is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, we believe this is just Wave ((iii)). We're not looking to short this stock but are instead waiting to see if our analysis holds true so we can go long once we have more clarity on the ending of Wave ((iv)). This will help us better determine the end of the overarching Wave (2).

SMCI rebounding on its 2-year Support Zone. $2000 next stop.Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) is on its strongest 1W green candle since May 22 2023, recovering the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), which was broken last week amidst the general market panic on a potential economic slowdown. This rebound happens to take place just inside the 2-year Higher Lows Zone that started back in July 2022. The ultimate Support, the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) is exactly on that Zone's bottom and as long as it holds, we will stay bullish on SMCI long-term. Even the 1W RSI marginally broke below its 2-year Support Zone, but immediately recovered it. As a result, we expect the new Bullish Leg (green Channel Up) to start. Every single one of the previous Legs of this 2-year pattern has been higher than the previous, so since the last rally completed a +344.40% rise, we expect at least a repeat of this. Our long-term Target is $2000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Super Micro Computer ($SMCI) Plummet 20% on Weak Earnings ReportSuper Micro Computer (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ), once a darling of the AI investment world, is experiencing a dramatic downturn. The company's stock plummeted after a disappointing earnings report revealed a significant margin squeeze, casting a shadow over its previously rosy outlook. The AI gold rush had propelled Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:SMCI ) to new heights, with its shares more than doubling in 2024. Investors were betting big on the company's ability to capitalize on the soaring demand for AI servers. However, the recent decline has raised serious questions about the company's long-term prospects. A Perfect Storm SMCI's troubles stem from a confluence of factors. Firstly, the rapid shift to more expensive AI chips has eroded profit margins. The company's attempt to lower prices to compete with rivals like Dell and HP has exacerbated the issue. Secondly, supply chain challenges and component shortages have added to the cost pressures. While the company maintains an optimistic long-term outlook, the immediate future appears bleak. Analysts warn that the stock's lofty valuation, relative to peers like Dell, makes it particularly vulnerable to market volatility. Technical Analysis: A Bearish Outlook SMCI's stock price has broken down from a descending triangle pattern, a bearish technical indicator. The stock is now trading below its crucial 200-day moving average, signaling a potential long-term trend reversal. Investors will be closely watching key support levels at: $496: Potential buying interest could emerge around this level, which would fill a gap from January’s impulsive move higher. $357: Another support level where the stock may find a horizontal line connecting past swing highs. $260: A significant correction could lead to support around this trendline, linking June 2023 highs with levels from August to December 2023. What's Next for Super Micro? The AI market remains undeniably promising, and SMCI's position as a key player in the industry cannot be ignored. However, the company must address its margin issues and navigate the challenges of the evolving AI landscape to regain investor confidence. As the dust settles from the earnings report, investors will be scrutinizing SMCI's actions to mitigate the margin squeeze and its ability to maintain its competitive edge. The road ahead is fraught with challenges, but the company's long-term success hinges on its ability to adapt and overcome these hurdles. Will Super Micro be able to rebound from this setback, or is this just the beginning of a more prolonged decline?
