Super Micro Computer's shares plunged after its auditor, Ernst & Young, resigned, citing governance, transparency, and ethical concerns.
Super Micro Computer SMCI plunged 32.68% to close at $33.07.
The stock’s intraday high was $38, and it hit a low of $32.2.
Its 52-week range is $22.66 to $122.9.
Concerns about the company's financial reporting and internal controls surfaced on Aug. 27 when short seller Hindenburg Research accused Super Micro of accounting manipulation, export control failures, customer issues and other problems. The next day, Super Micro announced a delay in filing its annual 10-K report with the SEC.
In late September, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Super Micro for alleged accounting irregularities.
The lack of an auditor and the tight timeline the stock is not a buy with too much risk.
