Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects

Robbins LLP informs investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Super Mirco Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) securities between August 10, 2021 and August 26, 2024. SMCI is an international company that develops, manufactures, and provides server and storage systems for various markets, including data centers, cloud computing, AI, 5G, and edge computing.

The Allegations

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors the true state of SMCI’s accounting; notably, that it was subject to consistent overreporting of sales and underreporting of expenses, that it had re-hired multiple executives who departed in the wake of the Company’s prior accounting scandal, that the Company has a closer relationship to its related parties than disclosed, that SMCI had more related parties than it had disclosed, and that the Company had not ceased exporting products to areas restricted by the United States government as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, risking government sanction.

Plaintiff alleges that on August 27, 2024, Hindenburg Research unveiled a research report concerning SMCI.  The research report detailed several allegations against the Company, including that Hindenburg “found glaring accounting red flags, evidence of undisclosed related party transactions, sanctions and control failures, and customer issues.” On this news, the price of SMCI’s common stock declined dramatically from a closing market price of $562.51 per share on August 26, 2024, to $443.49 per share on August 28, 2024, a decline of approximately 21.16% in the span of two days.
