Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI) Securities Class Actions:
The plaintiffs allege that Super Micro and its executives overstated sales, understated expenses, rehired executives involved in prior accounting scandals, and continued to export products to restricted regions despite the Russia-Ukraine war.
The truth began to emerge on August 27, 2024, when activist short seller Hindenburg Research unveiled a research report, alleging “glaring accounting red flags” at the company. After Hindenburg’s report was made public, Super Micro Computer’s stock (NASDAQ: SMCI) fell 20% to $443 per share.
Then, on August 28, 2024, Super Micro announced it would delay the filing of its annual report, stating that additional time was needed for Super Micro’s management to complete its assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024. On this news, the price of Super Micro stock fell more than 21% over two trading sessions, according to the complaint.
After the filing of the suits, news sources have reported that the Department of Justice is investigating the AI server company’s accounting practices, further exacerbating investor concerns.
Hagens Berman, a leading shareholder rights firm, has launched an investigation. “The claims in the litigation raise significant concerns about Super Micro’s financial reporting and internal controls,” said Reed Kathrein, the firm’s partner leading the probe. “We’re determined to get to the bottom of these serious matters.”
