Super Micro Computer Inc (SMCI) stock plummeted 9.23% in the pre-market trading session on Wednesday, following an 8.2% drop in the previous day's trading. The steep decline comes amid growing concerns over the company's ability to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq 100 and the potential for financial restatements.
The primary reason for the stock's decline appears to be the uncertainty surrounding Super Micro's delayed financial filings. The company was granted an extension by Nasdaq to file its delayed annual and quarterly reports by February 25, avoiding an immediate threat of delisting. However, investors remain skeptical about the company's ability to meet this new deadline.
Adding to the concerns, there are reports that Super Micro is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice. If the company's delayed filings reveal significant financial restatements or accounting irregularities, it could further exacerbate the sell-off in the stock. Investors are wary of the potential consequences and are taking a cautious stance until more clarity emerges.
