Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) Securities Class Actions:

Shares of Super Micro took a significant hit on September 4, 2024, following a downgrade from Barclays and renewed concerns about the company’s internal controls and corporate governance. Barclays expressed concerns about “room for improvement” in these areas, contributing to a 36% drop in the firm’s price target for SMCI.

Just days earlier, Forbes reported that AI had flagged financial reporting risks at Super Micro in 2022, which were allegedly allowed to go unaddressed. Hudson Labs, a firm specializing in financial disclosure analysis, identified “related party risk” as a significant red flag, suggesting the potential for round-tripping—a technique used to artificially inflate sales.

These revelations have reignited investor concerns about Super Micro, which is already facing three separate class action lawsuits alleging false and misleading statements. The lawsuits, which echo claims made by activist short seller Hindenburg raised in an August 27 report, allege that the company overstated sales, understated expenses, rehired executives involved in previous accounting scandals, had undisclosed ties to related parties, and continued to export products to restricted regions.

Following the release of Hindenburg Research’s damning report on August 27th, Super Micro announced a delay in its Form 10-K filing, citing the need for additional time to assess its internal controls.

Super Micro shares are currently trading down 30% since Hindenburg accused the company of “accounting manipulation.”

Prominent shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is now investigating the matter.

“We are looking into whether Super Micro may have concealed material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
