Super Micro Employees' Indictment Seen as Reputational Hit -- Market Talk

Dow Jones00:04

1204 ET - The indictment against former Super Micro Computer employees doesn't name the company, but it's a bad look, Raymond James analysts say. The allegations that the employees sold Super Micro servers with Nvidia chips to China casts a new legal and compliance shadow over the company, whose shares slid 28% Friday. The overhang comes on top of pre-existing concerns about accounting delays, internal control weaknesses and related-party risks, the analysts say. The analysts think Super Micro's stock will suffer from a "reputational discount" over its reporting credibility and board oversight, especially since one of the indicted employees was a board member.
