Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Faces Securities Class Actions Over Accounting Manipulation Accusations - Hagens Berman - Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI)
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman urges Super Micro Computer, Inc. SMCI investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now. 1st Class Period: Aug. 10, 2021 - Aug. 26, 2024 2nd Class Period: Aug. 31, 2023 - Aug. 28, 2024 3rd Class Period: Feb. 2, 2021 - Aug. 26, 2024 Lead Plaintiff Deadline for All Class Actions: Oct. 29, 2024 Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/smci Contact the Firm Now: [email protected] 844-916-0895 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. If you invested in Super Micro Computer and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that may assist the firm's investigation, submit your losses now " If you'd like more information and answers to frequently asked questions about the Super Micro Computer case and our investigation, read more " Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Super Micro Computer should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.

Super Micro, headquartered in San Jose, CA, is a server and storage solutions manufacturer that sells its hardware to technology companies for use as servers for websites, data storage, and artificial intelligence applications. According to the complaint, throughout the Class Period, Super Micro and senior executives reported strong demand, surging revenue growth, and increased product shipments. The Company also represented that it adhered to U.S. and other applicable trade control regulations, including the fact that it had made no sales in the Russian Federation during 2023 and 2024, and no sales to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). On August 27, 2024, the truth began to emerge when Hindenburg Research issued a research report titled Super Micro: Fresh Evidence of Accounting Manipulation, Sibling Self-Dealing and Sanctions Evasion at this AI High Flyer. In its Report, Hindenburg claimed to have uncovered glaring accounting red flags, evidence of undisclosed related party transactions, sanctions and export control failures, and customer issues. As detailed in the Report and corroborated by a recent whistleblower lawsuit, these accounting manipulations included the improper recognition of revenue, the recognition of incomplete sales, channel stuffing, and the circumvention of internal accounting controls. Hindenburg also reported that Super Micro had evaded U.S. export controls and had shipped approximately $210 million of products to Russia between February 2022 and June 2024. As a result of these disclosures, the price of Super Micro common stock declined by $14.87 per share, or 2.64%, to close at $547.64 per share on August 27, 2024. Then, on August 28, 2024, Super Micro announced that it would not be timely filing its Form 10-K annual report, as it was assessing the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these disclosures, the price of Super Micro common stock fell $104.15 per share, or 19.02%, to close at $443.49 per share on August 28, 2024.
