Super Micro Computer Inc (SMCI) shares plunged 5.05% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, underperforming the broader market. The sell-off comes amid lingering investor concerns over the company's auditor resignation last October.
In a stunning move on October 24th, auditing firm Ernst & Young abruptly resigned as Super Micro's auditor, citing an unwillingness to be associated with the company's financial statements. This sent shockwaves through the market, with SMCI stock crashing 32% on that day and over 53% in the subsequent week.
While Super Micro has staged an impressive comeback rally since hitting lows in mid-November, the stock remains well below its March highs of $109. Investors appear to still be nervous about the auditor issues and what they could mean for the company's financials and future prospects.
