The company faces the possibility of a second delisting, as it delayed and still has not yet filed its annual report for fiscal 2024.</p><p>Deloitte &amp; Touche&#39;s last audit of the company took place in fiscal 2023, and Super Micro <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SMCI\">$(SMCI)$</a> asked shareholders to ratify EY as its new auditors at its 2023 annual meeting. One accounting expert, Francine McKenna, said that it is going to be tough for the company to find another auditor among the remaining Big Four accounting firms that Super Micro has not worked with. The remaining two, KPMG and PWC, would likely want big management changes at the top, such as the resignation of the CEO and possibly the CFO, and a new audit committee, according to McKenna, a former MarketWatch reporter.</p><p>&#34;They are obviously a very complex, problematic, recidivist, high-profile company,&#34; McKenna said. &#34;They have allegations by the DOJ, they have an activist short-seller report. Is another Big Four, either KPMG or PWC, going to take them on?&#34;</p><p>One precedent cited by McKenna, who writes The Dig, a newsletter on accounting, audit and corporate governance, comes from 2004, when electronics components maker Molex&#39;s outside auditor resigned in another so-called noisy resignation.

The company will be hosting a business update call on Tuesday, but it will not release earnings.</p><p>More recently, there was a similar situation in 2016 at Marvell Technology Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRVL\">$(MRVL)$</a>, which fired its co-founding husband-and-wife team, CEO Sehat Sutardja and President Weili Dai, after accounting issues led to an audit-committee investigation into its revenue-recognition policies, and probes by regulators. The co-founders remained on Marvell&#39;s board at the time. Marvell&#39;s investigation found no evidence of fraud but said that the &#34;tone at the top&#34; included pressure to meet revenue targets.</p><p>Liang co-founded Super Micro with his wife, Sara Liu, who is described in the company&#39;s last annual report from fiscal 2023 as senior vice president and director, and has had various positions, including treasurer.</p><p>Super Micro has seen revenue boom recently thanks to surging demand for artificial-intelligence servers, and at their highest point of 2024, Super Micro shares were up more than 300% on the year. But while Liang led the company to great heights, he&#39;s remained in charge for a precipitous fall in the stock price, as investors weigh the accounting concerns as well as margin pressures in the AI-server business. It is also being probed by the Department of Justice, and its stock has now erased its year-to-date gains.</p><p>Super Micro said in an SEC filing it doesn&#39;t believe that the ongoing review of its financial controls will lead to a restatement of past financial results and it disagrees with EY&#39;s decision. But the matter has become a dark cloud over the stock. Liang should step down so that the company can regain the trust of Wall Street and customers. A Melius Research analyst recently hypothesized that customers are now paying attention to Super Micro&#39;s saga, which could help competitor Dell Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DELL\">$(DELL)$</a> down the line.</p><p>A Super Micro spokesman referred to the company&#39;s past statements on the matter, and did not provide a comment on the board&#39;s continued support of Liang.</p><p>Comments from Ernst &amp; Young, cited in a regulatory filing by Super Micro, indicated that the auditors believe the company&#39;s board and audit committee are not independent from the CEO. EY said information it received as part of a special committee review &#34;raised questions, including about whether the company demonstrates a commitment to integrity and ethical values&#34; consistent with good financial-control principles, and &#34;about the ability and willingness of the audit committee and overall board to demonstrate and act as an oversight body...independent of the CEO.&#34;</p><p>EY added that the company was &#34;unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management,&#34; according to the filing.</p><p>Accounting experts said it is extremely rare for an audit firm, especially one of the Big Four, to disclose their reasons for resigning.</p><p>&#34;I suspect this happens a lot more than we see, except that the audit firms don&#39;t talk about it,&#34; said Shiva Rajgopal, a professor of accounting and auditing at Columbia Business School. &#34;This is the nuclear option. This must be really bad, otherwise they would not have gone public.&#34;</p><p>McKenna said it&#39;s possible a smaller, lesser-known accounting firm could take the company on as a client, but she fears that that a smaller firm &#34;would not have the experience, competence or the national-office backing - the oomph, the gravitas - to get these these guys to shape up,&#34; she said. She added that regulators would likely not be as hard on the company if there are significant changes at the top. &#34;The only way they could come out of it is if one of the other Big Four agreed to take it on and insisted on significant management and board changes.&#34;</p><p>In 2018, the Nasdaq began its previous delisting procedures. Super Micro <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SMCI.UK\">$(SMCI.UK)$</a> did not file its fiscal 2017 financial reports on time, saying it had to compile and analyze certain information to finalize the documentation and complete a related audit-committee investigation. In January 2020, it was approved for relisting, and Liang was ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reimburse Super Micro $2.1 million for stock profits he realized during the accounting period under question.</p><p>In one example of how close the company&#39;s board is to Liang, in March 2020, Super Micro&#39;s board agreed to give him a one-time payment of up to $8 million if the company&#39;s stock price met certain targets, to reward him for his &#34;valuable contributions and loyal service&#34; particularly during through the period &#34;when the company was not current in its SEC filings.&#34;</p><p>Liang was not accused of wrongdoing at that time, but then-Chief Financial Officer Howard Hideshima was charged with prematurely recognizing revenue and understating expenses over a period of at least three years, and the company paid a $17.5 million civil penalty, without admitting or denying the SEC&#39;s finding.</p><p>Hideshima, who was ordered to pay $350,000 to the SEC, now says on his LinkedIn page that he is working as a consultant for Ablecom Technology Inc., a manufacturing partner of Super Micro run by Steve Liang, Charles&#39;s brother. Charles Liang and his wife own 10% of Ablecom.</p><p>The company has disclosed all of these related-party associations in its 10K filings, except for mentioning that its former CFO, who was charged in its former accounting debacle, still works for companies associated with Charles Liang. Steve Liang and another brother, Bill Liang, are also on the board of Ablecom. These related parties were highlighted as problematic in a short-seller report in August by Hindenburg Research.</p><p>Liang repeatedly has said in interviews over the past few years that the company fixed the internal-control issues that led to its previous delisting, including in an interview to MarketWatch in 2023.</p><p>This past August, when Hindenburg detailed what it found as red flags, it also highlighted a whistleblower lawsuit filed against the company in April, in which the plaintiff, Bob Luong, alleged how Super Micro misallocated revenue to hardware from services to inflate margins in its hardware business. A recurring concern among Wall Street analysts has been the low gross margins in its server business, even as revenue has surged due to a boost in sales for AI data centers.</p><p>In early September, Super Micro said that the Hindenburg report was misleading and that it does not expect its delayed annual report to contain materially different results from those already reported. Liang also said in a letter to investors and customers that the Hindenburg report contained &#34;misleading presentations of information that we have previously shared publicly.&#34; In July, after EY told the board&#39;s audit committee about its concerns about Super Micro&#39;s financial controls, an independent special committee was formed to review certain internal controls and certain corporate-governance procedures.</p><p>Liang owns over 11% of Super Micro stock, according to FactSet, but he is also seen as a key to the company, which warned in its fiscal 2023 annual report that it had no succession plan. &#34;His experience in leading our business and his personal involvement in key relationships with suppliers, customers and strategic partners are extremely valuable to our company,&#34; Super Micro said in that August 2023 filing. &#34;We currently do not have a succession plan for the replacement of Mr. Liang if it were to become necessary.&#34;</p><p>In a June 2023 interview with MarketWatch, Liang was asked about a succession plan, and said the company &#34;was planning, for sure,&#34; but he declined to provide any further details. Liang has been an early advocate for green computing, a key issue coming up now with power-hungry AI servers. He was described in a report by short-seller Spruce Point Capital Management in early 2023 as &#34;a genius&#34; by a former employee and described as a &#34;counter-thinker.&#34;</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s a liability. If he were to go, there&#39;s nothing behind him. There&#39;s a vacuum,&#34; the former employee told Spruce Point Capital at the time.</p><p>Now the company should start to think about succession earlier than expected, or risk that customers will make their future purchases elsewhere, all while investor trust dwindles. If Liang were to step down, Super Micro potentially could get a Big Four auditor to help it regain the confidence of the financial community.</p><p>As the saying goes, something appears to be rotten in Denmark, and the CEO needs to give someone else the chance to return the company to its former glory.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Super Micro Needs a New CEO Before Its AI Advantage Erodes</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSuper Micro Needs a New CEO Before Its AI Advantage Erodes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2024-11-05 16:11</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>Super Micro Computer Inc. was an early beneficiary of the artificial-intelligence boom.

But with the server maker under an accounting cloud, Super Micro now needs its chief executive to step down so it can fully realize the benefits of that trend.Last week, the abrupt resignation of the company's auditors Ernst & Young marked the second time in six years under Chief Executive Charles Liang's leadership that Super Micro has been accused by of improper internal financial controls. The company faces the possibility of a second delisting, as it delayed and still has not yet filed its annual report for fiscal 2024.Deloitte & Touche's last audit of the company took place in fiscal 2023, and Super Micro $(SMCI)$ asked shareholders to ratify EY as its new auditors at its 2023 annual meeting. One accounting expert, Francine McKenna, said that it is going to be tough for the company to find another auditor among the remaining Big Four accounting firms that Super Micro has not worked with. The remaining two, KPMG and PWC, would likely want big management changes at the top, such as the resignation of the CEO and possibly the CFO, and a new audit committee, according to McKenna, a former MarketWatch reporter.\"They are obviously a very complex, problematic, recidivist, high-profile company,\" McKenna said. \"They have allegations by the DOJ, they have an activist short-seller report. Is another Big Four, either KPMG or PWC, going to take them on?\"One precedent cited by McKenna, who writes The Dig, a newsletter on accounting, audit and corporate governance, comes from 2004, when electronics components maker Molex's outside auditor resigned in another so-called noisy resignation. Ernst & Young took over as Molex's auditors in 2004 on the condition that its CEO and CFO resign.The clock is ticking for Super Micro to find a new auditor as the company has until Nov. 16 to submit a plan on its timeline to file its annual report, which has to be approved by the Nasdaq. The company will be hosting a business update call on Tuesday, but it will not release earnings.More recently, there was a similar situation in 2016 at Marvell Technology Inc. $(MRVL)$, which fired its co-founding husband-and-wife team, CEO Sehat Sutardja and President Weili Dai, after accounting issues led to an audit-committee investigation into its revenue-recognition policies, and probes by regulators. The co-founders remained on Marvell's board at the time. Marvell's investigation found no evidence of fraud but said that the \"tone at the top\" included pressure to meet revenue targets.Liang co-founded Super Micro with his wife, Sara Liu, who is described in the company's last annual report from fiscal 2023 as senior vice president and director, and has had various positions, including treasurer.Super Micro has seen revenue boom recently thanks to surging demand for artificial-intelligence servers, and at their highest point of 2024, Super Micro shares were up more than 300% on the year. But while Liang led the company to great heights, he's remained in charge for a precipitous fall in the stock price, as investors weigh the accounting concerns as well as margin pressures in the AI-server business. It is also being probed by the Department of Justice, and its stock has now erased its year-to-date gains.Super Micro said in an SEC filing it doesn't believe that the ongoing review of its financial controls will lead to a restatement of past financial results and it disagrees with EY's decision. But the matter has become a dark cloud over the stock. Liang should step down so that the company can regain the trust of Wall Street and customers. A Melius Research analyst recently hypothesized that customers are now paying attention to Super Micro's saga, which could help competitor Dell Technologies Inc. $(DELL)$ down the line.A Super Micro spokesman referred to the company's past statements on the matter, and did not provide a comment on the board's continued support of Liang.Comments from Ernst & Young, cited in a regulatory filing by Super Micro, indicated that the auditors believe the company's board and audit committee are not independent from the CEO. EY said information it received as part of a special committee review \"raised questions, including about whether the company demonstrates a commitment to integrity and ethical values\" consistent with good financial-control principles, and \"about the ability and willingness of the audit committee and overall board to demonstrate and act as an oversight body...independent of the CEO.\"EY added that the company was \"unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management,\" according to the filing.Accounting experts said it is extremely rare for an audit firm, especially one of the Big Four, to disclose their reasons for resigning.\"I suspect this happens a lot more than we see, except that the audit firms don't talk about it,\" said Shiva Rajgopal, a professor of accounting and auditing at Columbia Business School. \"This is the nuclear option. This must be really bad, otherwise they would not have gone public.\"McKenna said it's possible a smaller, lesser-known accounting firm could take the company on as a client, but she fears that that a smaller firm \"would not have the experience, competence or the national-office backing - the oomph, the gravitas - to get these these guys to shape up,\" she said. She added that regulators would likely not be as hard on the company if there are significant changes at the top. \"The only way they could come out of it is if one of the other Big Four agreed to take it on and insisted on significant management and board changes.\"In 2018, the Nasdaq began its previous delisting procedures. Super Micro $(SMCI.UK)$ did not file its fiscal 2017 financial reports on time, saying it had to compile and analyze certain information to finalize the documentation and complete a related audit-committee investigation. In January 2020, it was approved for relisting, and Liang was ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reimburse Super Micro $2.1 million for stock profits he realized during the accounting period under question.In one example of how close the company's board is to Liang, in March 2020, Super Micro's board agreed to give him a one-time payment of up to $8 million if the company's stock price met certain targets, to reward him for his \"valuable contributions and loyal service\" particularly during through the period \"when the company was not current in its SEC filings.\"Liang was not accused of wrongdoing at that time, but then-Chief Financial Officer Howard Hideshima was charged with prematurely recognizing revenue and understating expenses over a period of at least three years, and the company paid a $17.5 million civil penalty, without admitting or denying the SEC's finding.Hideshima, who was ordered to pay $350,000 to the SEC, now says on his LinkedIn page that he is working as a consultant for Ablecom Technology Inc., a manufacturing partner of Super Micro run by Steve Liang, Charles's brother. Charles Liang and his wife own 10% of Ablecom.The company has disclosed all of these related-party associations in its 10K filings, except for mentioning that its former CFO, who was charged in its former accounting debacle, still works for companies associated with Charles Liang. Steve Liang and another brother, Bill Liang, are also on the board of Ablecom. These related parties were highlighted as problematic in a short-seller report in August by Hindenburg Research.Liang repeatedly has said in interviews over the past few years that the company fixed the internal-control issues that led to its previous delisting, including in an interview to MarketWatch in 2023.This past August, when Hindenburg detailed what it found as red flags, it also highlighted a whistleblower lawsuit filed against the company in April, in which the plaintiff, Bob Luong, alleged how Super Micro misallocated revenue to hardware from services to inflate margins in its hardware business. A recurring concern among Wall Street analysts has been the low gross margins in its server business, even as revenue has surged due to a boost in sales for AI data centers.In early September, Super Micro said that the Hindenburg report was misleading and that it does not expect its delayed annual report to contain materially different results from those already reported. Liang also said in a letter to investors and customers that the Hindenburg report contained \"misleading presentations of information that we have previously shared publicly.\" In July, after EY told the board's audit committee about its concerns about Super Micro's financial controls, an independent special committee was formed to review certain internal controls and certain corporate-governance procedures.Liang owns over 11% of Super Micro stock, according to FactSet, but he is also seen as a key to the company, which warned in its fiscal 2023 annual report that it had no succession plan. \"His experience in leading our business and his personal involvement in key relationships with suppliers, customers and strategic partners are extremely valuable to our company,\" Super Micro said in that August 2023 filing. \"We currently do not have a succession plan for the replacement of Mr. Liang if it were to become necessary.\"In a June 2023 interview with MarketWatch, Liang was asked about a succession plan, and said the company \"was planning, for sure,\" but he declined to provide any further details.

If Liang were to step down, Super Micro potentially could get a Big Four auditor to help it regain the confidence of the financial community.As the saying goes, something appears to be rotten in Denmark, and the CEO needs to give someone else the chance to return the company to its former glory.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":53,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":367663174762528,"gmtCreate":1730776625573,"gmtModify":1730776630356,"author":{"id":"4087913319322160","authorId":"4087913319322160","name":"Skysoul","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/05ee5fc56ed6316e2022e2bdcf350781","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087913319322160","authorIdStr":"4087913319322160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Smci are customers of Nvidia , this article Is saying the other way round .

Reportedly, if the company does not submit its financial statements by Nov. 20, it risks another delisting, after having being delisted in 2018 for non-compliance in financial filing, the report added.</p><p>Nvidia has stepped in to manage the impact of Super Micro&#39;s challenges on the larger industry, aiming to stabilize the supply chain. The U.S. chip giant is redirecting Super Micro&#39;s client orders to other providers to limit the disruption within the AI server market, the report noted.</p><p>Shares of the Super Micro slumped over 45% last week, marking its worst week on record, after the auditor for the AI server maker resigned. Concerns about the company&#39;s financial statements came up in late August after Hindenburg Research issued a short report on the company. A day later, Super Micro then said it was delaying its annual 10-K filing. The company later noted that it does not expect any material changes to fiscal 2024.</p><p>Last week, Super Micro announced an amendment to its loan agreement with Cathay Bank which, among other things, extends the date by which the company is required to deliver its annual results.</p><p>Super Micro&#39;s client orders have been moved to other companies, with Gigabyte and ASRock seeing an increase in new orders and customer inquiries. Supply chain sources suggest that Gigabyte and ASRock have gained from Super Micro&#39;s rerouted orders, securing contracts with major clients like CoreWeave, the report added.</p><p>Taiwan-based Gigabyte has raised its fourth-quarter and annual server revenue forecasts. The company is also speeding up its deployment of liquid cooling technology to match Nvidia&#39;s rapid growth, the report noted.</p><p>Meanwhile, ASRock, which is also based in Taiwan, has gained redirected orders from Super Micro&#39;s small and mid-sized clients, setting a record for third-quarter revenue. The fourth quarter is anticipated to peak, with annual revenue and profit guidance revised upward, according to the report.</p><p>With Nvidia&#39;s H200 shipments starting in the fourth quarter, ASRock has joined the supply list for GB200 in the second half of 2025. The company also intends to unveil liquid cooling products, supporting profit growth forcast for 2025, the report noted.</p><p>However, Super Micro&#39;s woes has potentially sent shockwaves through its supply chain, affecting vital partners such as Leadtek, backed by Ablecom Technology and Compuware Technology. This reliance on Supermicro has raised concerns over Leadtek&#39;s AI market share and performance, as per the report.</p><p>Ablecom and Compuware, whose chairmen are siblings of Super Micro&#39;s chairman, have close relations with the company. Their investment in Leadtek was reportedly steered by Leadtek&#39;s Nvidia Quadro distribution rights in China and its local network. The potential impact of this investment on Leadtek is not clear, the report added.</p><p>Orient Semiconductor Electronics, which provides packaging and testing services to Super Micro, also faces potential disruptions impacting its operations, the report stated.</p><p>Thermal management solutions supplier Auras Technology and electronic parts provider Argosy Research have also been caught in the storm. Both companies have seen reduced orders, which could affect their standing in the AI sector, the report noted.</p><p>These companies, which are part of Super Micro&#39;s supply chain, are cautiously managing the situation amid shifting client demands and revenue concerns, the report added.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_trending_news","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Reportedly, if the company does not submit its financial statements by Nov. 20, it risks another delisting, after having being delisted in 2018 for non-compliance in financial filing, the report added.Nvidia has stepped in to manage the impact of Super Micro's challenges on the larger industry, aiming to stabilize the supply chain. The U.S. chip giant is redirecting Super Micro's client orders to other providers to limit the disruption within the AI server market, the report noted.Shares of the Super Micro slumped over 45% last week, marking its worst week on record, after the auditor for the AI server maker resigned. Concerns about the company's financial statements came up in late August after Hindenburg Research issued a short report on the company. A day later, Super Micro then said it was delaying its annual 10-K filing. The company later noted that it does not expect any material changes to fiscal 2024.Last week, Super Micro announced an amendment to its loan agreement with Cathay Bank which, among other things, extends the date by which the company is required to deliver its annual results.Super Micro's client orders have been moved to other companies, with Gigabyte and ASRock seeing an increase in new orders and customer inquiries. Supply chain sources suggest that Gigabyte and ASRock have gained from Super Micro's rerouted orders, securing contracts with major clients like CoreWeave, the report added.Taiwan-based Gigabyte has raised its fourth-quarter and annual server revenue forecasts. The company is also speeding up its deployment of liquid cooling technology to match Nvidia's rapid growth, the report noted.Meanwhile, ASRock, which is also based in Taiwan, has gained redirected orders from Super Micro's small and mid-sized clients, setting a record for third-quarter revenue. The fourth quarter is anticipated to peak, with annual revenue and profit guidance revised upward, according to the report.With Nvidia's H200 shipments starting in the fourth quarter, ASRock has joined the supply list for GB200 in the second half of 2025. The company also intends to unveil liquid cooling products, supporting profit growth forcast for 2025, the report noted.However, Super Micro's woes has potentially sent shockwaves through its supply chain, affecting vital partners such as Leadtek, backed by Ablecom Technology and Compuware Technology. This reliance on Supermicro has raised concerns over Leadtek's AI market share and performance, as per the report.Ablecom and Compuware, whose chairmen are siblings of Super Micro's chairman, have close relations with the company. Their investment in Leadtek was reportedly steered by Leadtek's Nvidia Quadro distribution rights in China and its local network. The potential impact of this investment on Leadtek is not clear, the report added.Orient Semiconductor Electronics, which provides packaging and testing services to Super Micro, also faces potential disruptions impacting its operations, the report stated.Thermal management solutions supplier Auras Technology and electronic parts provider Argosy Research have also been caught in the storm. Both companies have seen reduced orders, which could affect their standing in the AI sector, the report noted.These companies, which are part of Super Micro's supply chain, are cautiously managing the situation amid shifting client demands and revenue concerns, the report added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3581734227956830","authorId":"3581734227956830","name":"SirBahamut","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/bfb00d5085e2ed1685d99f51539c6bb1","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581734227956830","authorIdStr":"3581734227956830"},"content":"While you are right that SMCI are customers of Nvidia, Nvidia has a HUGE bargaining power over its customers; simply because demand is way higher than supply.

Ammunition in 2020. And coal in 2021.</p><p>In each of these cases, a “terrible” industry would see profits rise 5x… 10x… 20x… after bankruptcies, liquidations and mergers left the industry with few remaining players. It’s a wellspring of easy profits.</p><p>The strategy only works every several years; industry consolidation doesn’t happen all the time.</p><p>But when it does happen, investors can outperform the market. And today, one new industry is teasing 300% returns. Read on to find which one.</p><p>And if you enjoy this article, <b>click here to subscribe to Tom Yeung’s </b><b><i>Profit &amp; Protection</i></b><b> to get the latest updates in your inbox</b>.</p><h2>Exploiting Inefficient Markets</h2><p>The reason for airline outperformance was simple:</p><p>Markets are efficient vehicles for gathering consensus market views…</p><p><i><b>…but consensus views are sometimes slow to change, especially with consolidating industries</b></i>.</p><p>In the case of airlines, investors “knew” it was a terrible industry.</p><p>“For 100 years, airline transport has not been a good business,” Warren Buffett said in a 2013 interview on <i>CNBC</i>. “A seat on an airliner as a commodity to a great extent.”</p><p>But managers with billion-dollar funds often can’t see the changes that you and I do. The tight-fisted Mr. Buffett flies around in a private jet he once named “The Indefensible.” And how would an analyst sitting in Wall Street’s glass buildings (as I once did) know the price of a gallon of milk? Even I almost missed the rise of airline fares.</p><p>Yet, these Wall Street blind spots create enormous buying opportunities.</p><ul><li><b>Railways.</b> Companies like <b>Canadian Pacific Railway</b> (NYSE:<b><u>CP</u></b>) rose +600% between 2009-2014.</li><li><b>Ammunition.</b> Bullet-maker <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VGL.AU\">Vista</a> Outdoors</b> (NYSE:<b><u>VSTO</u></b>) jumped +550% between 2020-2021.</li><li><b>Coal.</b> Near-bankrupt miner <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BTU\">Peabody</a> Energy</b> (NYSE:<b><u>BTU</u></b>) skyrocketed +900% between 2021-2022</li></ul><p>In each of these instances, a “Main Street” industry would suddenly become a superstar winner because of one word:</p><p><i><b>Consolidation</b></i>.</p><p>In the case of airlines, mega-mergers between top players meant that the top 4 carriers controlled two-thirds of the industry by 2013. <b>Delta</b> (NYSE:<b><u>DAL</u></b>) would make up 80% of all flights from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport that year.</p><p>In rail, these same forces would turn a struggling industry into one of America’s most profitable sectors. Only seven Class I freight railroads exist today, down from 33 in 1980. And concentration in specific sectors is higher; two railroads now originate 65% of all U.S. grain.</p><p>These changes are apparent to anyone who works in the business. Try to buy ammunition at your local gun store, and you’ll have a choice between two manufacturers. Shells now easily cost over a dollar per round. And at the grocery store, our choice of meat and prepackaged bread is an illusion. 2-3 companies now own dozens of brands on store shelves.</p><p>Observant investors will notice these things in everyday life.</p><p>Meanwhile, outsiders on Wall Street are often slow in responding to these tectonic shifts, especially when they’re happening far away from the glass high-rise offices of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MHC.AU\">Manhattan</a> or Omaha.</p><h2>Beating the Street at Its Own Game</h2><p>There are three ingredients to these hidden gems:</p><ul><li><b>A “Hated” Industry.</b> A history of low returns, poor growth and high capital requirements will set the stage for cheap stock prices.</li><li><b>Consolidation.</b> Mergers, acquisitions and bankruptcies that give the remaining players pricing power.</li><li><b>Essential Goods.</b> Sectors that produce goods that are difficult or impossible to substitute.</li></ul><p>And today, one sector stands out as the next big winner:</p><p><i><b>Telecom</b></i>.</p><h2>From Four to Three</h2><p>Ask any Wall Street investor about telecom, and watch them respond with a mix of apathy and disgust. The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EMDI\">iShares</a> Global Communication Services ETF</b> (NYSEARCA:<b><u>IXP</u></b>) has risen just 7% since 2005, underperforming every other sector of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d89746888da2d9510b64a9f031eaecd5\" tg-width=\"1\" tg-height=\"1\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/683bb6c2aa728f75d0baebfe009399e0\" tg-width=\"580\" tg-height=\"372\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>There’s a good reason for the dismal performance. For years, America’s telecom firms have fought in a seven-way battle. The two top players <b>AT&amp;T</b> (NYSE:<b><u>T</u></b>) and <b>Verizon</b> (NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>) competed against upstarts <b>Sprint</b> and <b>T-Mobile</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>TMUS</u></b>), along with smaller players <b>Leap</b>, <b>MetroPCS</b> and <b>U.S. Cellular</b> (NYSE:<b><u>USM</u></b>).</p><p>It was a recipe for disaster. High capital expenditure, changing technologies and a massive country to cover meant that firms like Verizon could sink $20 billion per year since 2000 into capital investment and <i>still</i> see end-user prices stagnate.</p><p>Put another way, my $40-per-month cell phone bill had barely budged in the 20 years leading up to 2020</p><p><i><b>But that also gives telecom the perfect setup for 300% gains</b></i>.</p><p>Since 2011, the number of wireless providers has shrunk from seven to four. And with U.S. Cellular’s market share dropping to 1%, the wireless industry has become a three-way race.</p><p>Prices have already started creeping up. The cheapest plan from T-Mobile for a single line now costs $70 after taxes and fees, reversing years of price declines. According to the BLS, spending on cell phone services finally stopped falling in 2020.</p><p>“A stable competitive market never has more than three significant competitors,” BCG founder Bruce Henderson noted in 1976. The “rule of three” eventually makes it “neither practical nor advantageous for either competitor to increase or decrease share.”</p><p>In other words, telecom is no longer a race to the bottom.</p><h2>Which Telecom Stock Should You Buy?</h2><p>So, why do I say investors can make 300% with virtually no effort?</p><p>That’s because there’s no need for fancy 3-stage DCF models…</p><p>…Complicated intrinsic value calculations…</p><p>…Or reading the tea leaves of management guidance.</p><p>That’s because when industries consolidate, <b>all companies gain</b>.</p><p>For airlines in 2013, investors could have easily made the same high returns on <b>Southwest </b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>), <b>United</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>UAL</u></b>) or <b>Hawaiian</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>HA</u></b>).</p><p>Similarly, telecom’s three remaining players – AT&amp;T, Verizon and T-Mobile – all stand to profit. Even though Profit &amp; Protection has highlighted AT&amp;T for its cheapest starting price, the trio all provide the same essential wireless services, and all have begun flexing their oligopolistic pricing power.</p><p><i><b>Bottom line: buy AT&amp;T if you only pick one telecom, but all three should outperform over the next decade</b></i>.</p><h2>Some Patience Required… </h2><p>Consolidation plays are phenomenal for their high batting average and relative safety.

Ammunition in 2020. And coal in 2021.In each of these cases, a “terrible” industry would see profits rise 5x… 10x… 20x… after bankruptcies, liquidations and mergers left the industry with few remaining players. It’s a wellspring of easy profits.The strategy only works every several years; industry consolidation doesn’t happen all the time.But when it does happen, investors can outperform the market. And today, one new industry is teasing 300% returns. Read on to find which one.And if you enjoy this article, click here to subscribe to Tom Yeung’s Profit & Protection to get the latest updates in your inbox.Exploiting Inefficient MarketsThe reason for airline outperformance was simple:Markets are efficient vehicles for gathering consensus market views……but consensus views are sometimes slow to change, especially with consolidating industries.In the case of airlines, investors “knew” it was a terrible industry.“For 100 years, airline transport has not been a good business,” Warren Buffett said in a 2013 interview on CNBC. “A seat on an airliner as a commodity to a great extent.”But managers with billion-dollar funds often can’t see the changes that you and I do. The tight-fisted Mr. Buffett flies around in a private jet he once named “The Indefensible.” And how would an analyst sitting in Wall Street’s glass buildings (as I once did) know the price of a gallon of milk? Even I almost missed the rise of airline fares.Yet, these Wall Street blind spots create enormous buying opportunities.Railways. Companies like Canadian Pacific Railway (NYSE:CP) rose +600% between 2009-2014.Ammunition. Bullet-maker Vista Outdoors (NYSE:VSTO) jumped +550% between 2020-2021.Coal. Near-bankrupt miner Peabody Energy (NYSE:BTU) skyrocketed +900% between 2021-2022In each of these instances, a “Main Street” industry would suddenly become a superstar winner because of one word:Consolidation.In the case of airlines, mega-mergers between top players meant that the top 4 carriers controlled two-thirds of the industry by 2013. Delta (NYSE:DAL) would make up 80% of all flights from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport that year.In rail, these same forces would turn a struggling industry into one of America’s most profitable sectors. Only seven Class I freight railroads exist today, down from 33 in 1980. And concentration in specific sectors is higher; two railroads now originate 65% of all U.S. grain.These changes are apparent to anyone who works in the business. Try to buy ammunition at your local gun store, and you’ll have a choice between two manufacturers. Shells now easily cost over a dollar per round. And at the grocery store, our choice of meat and prepackaged bread is an illusion. 2-3 companies now own dozens of brands on store shelves.Observant investors will notice these things in everyday life.Meanwhile, outsiders on Wall Street are often slow in responding to these tectonic shifts, especially when they’re happening far away from the glass high-rise offices of Manhattan or Omaha.Beating the Street at Its Own GameThere are three ingredients to these hidden gems:A “Hated” Industry. A history of low returns, poor growth and high capital requirements will set the stage for cheap stock prices.Consolidation. Mergers, acquisitions and bankruptcies that give the remaining players pricing power.Essential Goods. Sectors that produce goods that are difficult or impossible to substitute.And today, one sector stands out as the next big winner:Telecom.From Four to ThreeAsk any Wall Street investor about telecom, and watch them respond with a mix of apathy and disgust. The iShares Global Communication Services ETF (NYSEARCA:IXP) has risen just 7% since 2005, underperforming every other sector of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).There’s a good reason for the dismal performance. For years, America’s telecom firms have fought in a seven-way battle. The two top players AT&T (NYSE:T) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) competed against upstarts Sprint and T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS), along with smaller players Leap, MetroPCS and U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM).It was a recipe for disaster. High capital expenditure, changing technologies and a massive country to cover meant that firms like Verizon could sink $20 billion per year since 2000 into capital investment and still see end-user prices stagnate.Put another way, my $40-per-month cell phone bill had barely budged in the 20 years leading up to 2020But that also gives telecom the perfect setup for 300% gains.Since 2011, the number of wireless providers has shrunk from seven to four. And with U.S. Cellular’s market share dropping to 1%, the wireless industry has become a three-way race.Prices have already started creeping up. The cheapest plan from T-Mobile for a single line now costs $70 after taxes and fees, reversing years of price declines. According to the BLS, spending on cell phone services finally stopped falling in 2020.“A stable competitive market never has more than three significant competitors,” BCG founder Bruce Henderson noted in 1976. The “rule of three” eventually makes it “neither practical nor advantageous for either competitor to increase or decrease share.”In other words, telecom is no longer a race to the bottom.Which Telecom Stock Should You Buy?So, why do I say investors can make 300% with virtually no effort?That’s because there’s no need for fancy 3-stage DCF models……Complicated intrinsic value calculations……Or reading the tea leaves of management guidance.That’s because when industries consolidate, all companies gain.For airlines in 2013, investors could have easily made the same high returns on Southwest (NYSE:LUV), United (NASDAQ:UAL) or Hawaiian (NASDAQ:HA).Similarly, telecom’s three remaining players – AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile – all stand to profit. Even though Profit & Protection has highlighted AT&T for its cheapest starting price, the trio all provide the same essential wireless services, and all have begun flexing their oligopolistic pricing power.Bottom line: buy AT&T if you only pick one telecom, but all three should outperform over the next decade.Some Patience Required… Consolidation plays are phenomenal for their high batting average and relative safety. AT&T has a 6% dividend yield, one of the highest rates for a blue-chip stock.The strategy, however, can take years to play out. Freight railroad CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) took over a decade to rise 10x.That means high-frequency traders are better off buying high-beta momentum stocks listed in Tuesday’s newsletter. But if you are willing to wait for returns without really trying, then AT&T and the telecom industry provides a stunningly attractive play.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9038306480,"gmtCreate":1646730937783,"gmtModify":1676534156040,"author":{"id":"4087913319322160","authorId":"4087913319322160","name":"Skysoul","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/05ee5fc56ed6316e2022e2bdcf350781","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087913319322160","authorIdStr":"4087913319322160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hm","listText":"Hm","text":"Hm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9038306480","repostId":"1120894633","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1120894633","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing

height=\"auto\"><span>Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who spoke at a Senate committee hearing earlier this month, has promised ample notice before reducing purchases of securities.</span></p>\n<p>Federal Reserve officials are set to resume deliberations Wednesday about how and when to begin&nbsp;paring their asset purchases&nbsp;amid an economic rebound clouded by supply-chain bottlenecks and rising Covid-19 cases.</p>\n<p>The central bank at the end of last year said it would continue to purchase $120 billion in Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities monthly until officials deemed they had achieved “substantial further progress” toward their goals of low unemployment and inflation reaching their 2% goal.</p>\n<p>The Fed will release its policy statement at 2 p.m. EDT. Most of the focus is likely to center on Chairman Jerome Powell’s news conference at 2:30 p.m. Here’s what to watch:</p>\n<p><b>Taper timing</b></p>\n<p>Officials are likely to receive a formal staff briefing around when to start paring their monthly purchases of $80 billion in Treasury securities and $40 billion in mortgage securities, and how quickly to reduce, or taper, them.</p>\n<p>The Fed began buying large quantities of the securities in March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic triggered a near-meltdown in financial markets. With the Fed’s short-term interest rate at zero, the purchases are designed to provide additional stimulus by holding down long-term interest rates.</p>\n<p>Some officials are concerned&nbsp;that a burst of inflation this year from bottlenecks associated with reopening the economy will prove more durable than previously anticipated. These policy makers are eager to start the taper, in part because they and their colleagues have said they aren’t likely to consider raising interest rates from near zero until they are done tapering the asset purchases.</p>\n<p>Another camp thinks recent&nbsp;price pressures will subside&nbsp;and could leave the Fed in the same position that it faced for much of the past decade, in which global forces kept inflation below 2% even with historically low interest rates.

Most of the focus is likely to center on Chairman Jerome Powell’s news conference at 2:30 p.m. Here’s what to watch:\nTaper timing\nOfficials are likely to receive a formal staff briefing around when to start paring their monthly purchases of $80 billion in Treasury securities and $40 billion in mortgage securities, and how quickly to reduce, or taper, them.\nThe Fed began buying large quantities of the securities in March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic triggered a near-meltdown in financial markets. With the Fed’s short-term interest rate at zero, the purchases are designed to provide additional stimulus by holding down long-term interest rates.\nSome officials are concerned that a burst of inflation this year from bottlenecks associated with reopening the economy will prove more durable than previously anticipated. These policy makers are eager to start the taper, in part because they and their colleagues have said they aren’t likely to consider raising interest rates from near zero until they are done tapering the asset purchases.\nAnother camp thinks recent price pressures will subside and could leave the Fed in the same position that it faced for much of the past decade, in which global forces kept inflation below 2% even with historically low interest rates. They are worried that accelerating plans to wind down the asset purchases could raise questions among investors about the Fed’s commitment to achieving its economic goals.\nBecause Mr. Powell has pledged to provide ample notice to financial markets before the Fed starts tapering to avoid catching investors by surprise, the central bank looks unlikely to start the process now or at its next meeting in September. Mr. Powell’s press conference will be heavily scrutinized for clues on how officials judge recent economic progress. In April, he said the Fed was “a long way from” its tapering goals, and he characterized the economy as “still a ways off” from them in June.\nPurchase pace\nOfficials also must consider the pace of any reductions. Some officials have discussed concluding the purchases around October 2022 so they could lift rates soon thereafter if the recovery is stronger or inflation is higher than now anticipated.\nDuring a prior asset-purchase program that ended in 2014, the Fed shrank its purchases in modest, equal amounts over the course of 10 months. It then waited another 14 months before raising interest rates.\nAnother tactical question centers on whether to reduce the pace of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities equally. Some officials have raised concerns about rising home prices and are pressing to stop purchases of mortgage bonds sooner.\nBut Mr. Powell and other officials have poured cold water on those concerns in recent weeks. They have said mortgage buying, by purchasing longer-dated assets, provides a way to more broadly stimulate the economy and isn’t focused squarely on housing markets.\n“If the housing market has you really worried, that’s an argument for just tapering everything sooner and faster,” said William English, a former senior Fed economist who is now a professor at the Yale School of Management.\nInflation outlook\nFor a third straight month in June,inflation ran hotter than many economists had expected. The Labor Department’s consumer-price index increased 5.4% from a year ago, the highest 12-month rate since August 2008.\nMr. Powell said two weeks ago that many of the elevated price pressures can still be traced to goods and services affected by supply-chain bottlenecks and other pandemic-driven upheaval.

Reportedly, if the company does not submit its financial statements by Nov. 20, it risks another delisting, after having being delisted in 2018 for non-compliance in financial filing, the report added.</p><p>Nvidia has stepped in to manage the impact of Super Micro&#39;s challenges on the larger industry, aiming to stabilize the supply chain. The U.S. chip giant is redirecting Super Micro&#39;s client orders to other providers to limit the disruption within the AI server market, the report noted.</p><p>Shares of the Super Micro slumped over 45% last week, marking its worst week on record, after the auditor for the AI server maker resigned. Concerns about the company&#39;s financial statements came up in late August after Hindenburg Research issued a short report on the company. A day later, Super Micro then said it was delaying its annual 10-K filing. The company later noted that it does not expect any material changes to fiscal 2024.</p><p>Last week, Super Micro announced an amendment to its loan agreement with Cathay Bank which, among other things, extends the date by which the company is required to deliver its annual results.</p><p>Super Micro&#39;s client orders have been moved to other companies, with Gigabyte and ASRock seeing an increase in new orders and customer inquiries. Supply chain sources suggest that Gigabyte and ASRock have gained from Super Micro&#39;s rerouted orders, securing contracts with major clients like CoreWeave, the report added.</p><p>Taiwan-based Gigabyte has raised its fourth-quarter and annual server revenue forecasts. The company is also speeding up its deployment of liquid cooling technology to match Nvidia&#39;s rapid growth, the report noted.</p><p>Meanwhile, ASRock, which is also based in Taiwan, has gained redirected orders from Super Micro&#39;s small and mid-sized clients, setting a record for third-quarter revenue. The fourth quarter is anticipated to peak, with annual revenue and profit guidance revised upward, according to the report.</p><p>With Nvidia&#39;s H200 shipments starting in the fourth quarter, ASRock has joined the supply list for GB200 in the second half of 2025. The company also intends to unveil liquid cooling products, supporting profit growth forcast for 2025, the report noted.</p><p>However, Super Micro&#39;s woes has potentially sent shockwaves through its supply chain, affecting vital partners such as Leadtek, backed by Ablecom Technology and Compuware Technology. This reliance on Supermicro has raised concerns over Leadtek&#39;s AI market share and performance, as per the report.</p><p>Ablecom and Compuware, whose chairmen are siblings of Super Micro&#39;s chairman, have close relations with the company. Their investment in Leadtek was reportedly steered by Leadtek&#39;s Nvidia Quadro distribution rights in China and its local network. The potential impact of this investment on Leadtek is not clear, the report added.</p><p>Orient Semiconductor Electronics, which provides packaging and testing services to Super Micro, also faces potential disruptions impacting its operations, the report stated.</p><p>Thermal management solutions supplier Auras Technology and electronic parts provider Argosy Research have also been caught in the storm. Both companies have seen reduced orders, which could affect their standing in the AI sector, the report noted.</p><p>These companies, which are part of Super Micro&#39;s supply chain, are cautiously managing the situation amid shifting client demands and revenue concerns, the report added.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_trending_news","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The U.S. chip giant is redirecting Super Micro's client orders to other providers to limit the disruption within the AI server market, the report noted.Shares of the Super Micro slumped over 45% last week, marking its worst week on record, after the auditor for the AI server maker resigned. Concerns about the company's financial statements came up in late August after Hindenburg Research issued a short report on the company. A day later, Super Micro then said it was delaying its annual 10-K filing. The company later noted that it does not expect any material changes to fiscal 2024.Last week, Super Micro announced an amendment to its loan agreement with Cathay Bank which, among other things, extends the date by which the company is required to deliver its annual results.Super Micro's client orders have been moved to other companies, with Gigabyte and ASRock seeing an increase in new orders and customer inquiries. Supply chain sources suggest that Gigabyte and ASRock have gained from Super Micro's rerouted orders, securing contracts with major clients like CoreWeave, the report added.Taiwan-based Gigabyte has raised its fourth-quarter and annual server revenue forecasts. The company is also speeding up its deployment of liquid cooling technology to match Nvidia's rapid growth, the report noted.Meanwhile, ASRock, which is also based in Taiwan, has gained redirected orders from Super Micro's small and mid-sized clients, setting a record for third-quarter revenue. The fourth quarter is anticipated to peak, with annual revenue and profit guidance revised upward, according to the report.With Nvidia's H200 shipments starting in the fourth quarter, ASRock has joined the supply list for GB200 in the second half of 2025. The company also intends to unveil liquid cooling products, supporting profit growth forcast for 2025, the report noted.However, Super Micro's woes has potentially sent shockwaves through its supply chain, affecting vital partners such as Leadtek, backed by Ablecom Technology and Compuware Technology. This reliance on Supermicro has raised concerns over Leadtek's AI market share and performance, as per the report.Ablecom and Compuware, whose chairmen are siblings of Super Micro's chairman, have close relations with the company. Their investment in Leadtek was reportedly steered by Leadtek's Nvidia Quadro distribution rights in China and its local network. The potential impact of this investment on Leadtek is not clear, the report added.Orient Semiconductor Electronics, which provides packaging and testing services to Super Micro, also faces potential disruptions impacting its operations, the report stated.Thermal management solutions supplier Auras Technology and electronic parts provider Argosy Research have also been caught in the storm. Both companies have seen reduced orders, which could affect their standing in the AI sector, the report noted.These companies, which are part of Super Micro's supply chain, are cautiously managing the situation amid shifting client demands and revenue concerns, the report added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3581734227956830","authorId":"3581734227956830","name":"SirBahamut","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/bfb00d5085e2ed1685d99f51539c6bb1","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3581734227956830","idStr":"3581734227956830"},"content":"While you are right that SMCI are customers of Nvidia, Nvidia has a HUGE bargaining power over its customers; simply because demand is way higher than supply.

Ammunition in 2020. And coal in 2021.</p><p>In each of these cases, a “terrible” industry would see profits rise 5x… 10x… 20x… after bankruptcies, liquidations and mergers left the industry with few remaining players. It’s a wellspring of easy profits.</p><p>The strategy only works every several years; industry consolidation doesn’t happen all the time.</p><p>But when it does happen, investors can outperform the market. And today, one new industry is teasing 300% returns. Read on to find which one.</p><p>And if you enjoy this article, <b>click here to subscribe to Tom Yeung’s </b><b><i>Profit &amp; Protection</i></b><b> to get the latest updates in your inbox</b>.</p><h2>Exploiting Inefficient Markets</h2><p>The reason for airline outperformance was simple:</p><p>Markets are efficient vehicles for gathering consensus market views…</p><p><i><b>…but consensus views are sometimes slow to change, especially with consolidating industries</b></i>.</p><p>In the case of airlines, investors “knew” it was a terrible industry.</p><p>“For 100 years, airline transport has not been a good business,” Warren Buffett said in a 2013 interview on <i>CNBC</i>. “A seat on an airliner as a commodity to a great extent.”</p><p>But managers with billion-dollar funds often can’t see the changes that you and I do. The tight-fisted Mr. Buffett flies around in a private jet he once named “The Indefensible.” And how would an analyst sitting in Wall Street’s glass buildings (as I once did) know the price of a gallon of milk? Even I almost missed the rise of airline fares.</p><p>Yet, these Wall Street blind spots create enormous buying opportunities.</p><ul><li><b>Railways.</b> Companies like <b>Canadian Pacific Railway</b> (NYSE:<b><u>CP</u></b>) rose +600% between 2009-2014.</li><li><b>Ammunition.</b> Bullet-maker <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VGL.AU\">Vista</a> Outdoors</b> (NYSE:<b><u>VSTO</u></b>) jumped +550% between 2020-2021.</li><li><b>Coal.</b> Near-bankrupt miner <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BTU\">Peabody</a> Energy</b> (NYSE:<b><u>BTU</u></b>) skyrocketed +900% between 2021-2022</li></ul><p>In each of these instances, a “Main Street” industry would suddenly become a superstar winner because of one word:</p><p><i><b>Consolidation</b></i>.</p><p>In the case of airlines, mega-mergers between top players meant that the top 4 carriers controlled two-thirds of the industry by 2013. <b>Delta</b> (NYSE:<b><u>DAL</u></b>) would make up 80% of all flights from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport that year.</p><p>In rail, these same forces would turn a struggling industry into one of America’s most profitable sectors. Only seven Class I freight railroads exist today, down from 33 in 1980. And concentration in specific sectors is higher; two railroads now originate 65% of all U.S. grain.</p><p>These changes are apparent to anyone who works in the business. Try to buy ammunition at your local gun store, and you’ll have a choice between two manufacturers. Shells now easily cost over a dollar per round. And at the grocery store, our choice of meat and prepackaged bread is an illusion. 2-3 companies now own dozens of brands on store shelves.</p><p>Observant investors will notice these things in everyday life.</p><p>Meanwhile, outsiders on Wall Street are often slow in responding to these tectonic shifts, especially when they’re happening far away from the glass high-rise offices of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MHC.AU\">Manhattan</a> or Omaha.</p><h2>Beating the Street at Its Own Game</h2><p>There are three ingredients to these hidden gems:</p><ul><li><b>A “Hated” Industry.</b> A history of low returns, poor growth and high capital requirements will set the stage for cheap stock prices.</li><li><b>Consolidation.</b> Mergers, acquisitions and bankruptcies that give the remaining players pricing power.</li><li><b>Essential Goods.</b> Sectors that produce goods that are difficult or impossible to substitute.</li></ul><p>And today, one sector stands out as the next big winner:</p><p><i><b>Telecom</b></i>.</p><h2>From Four to Three</h2><p>Ask any Wall Street investor about telecom, and watch them respond with a mix of apathy and disgust. The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EMDI\">iShares</a> Global Communication Services ETF</b> (NYSEARCA:<b><u>IXP</u></b>) has risen just 7% since 2005, underperforming every other sector of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d89746888da2d9510b64a9f031eaecd5\" tg-width=\"1\" tg-height=\"1\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/683bb6c2aa728f75d0baebfe009399e0\" tg-width=\"580\" tg-height=\"372\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>There’s a good reason for the dismal performance.

Ammunition in 2020. And coal in 2021.In each of these cases, a “terrible” industry would see profits rise 5x… 10x… 20x… after bankruptcies, liquidations and mergers left the industry with few remaining players. It’s a wellspring of easy profits.The strategy only works every several years; industry consolidation doesn’t happen all the time.But when it does happen, investors can outperform the market. And today, one new industry is teasing 300% returns. Read on to find which one.And if you enjoy this article, click here to subscribe to Tom Yeung’s Profit & Protection to get the latest updates in your inbox.Exploiting Inefficient MarketsThe reason for airline outperformance was simple:Markets are efficient vehicles for gathering consensus market views……but consensus views are sometimes slow to change, especially with consolidating industries.In the case of airlines, investors “knew” it was a terrible industry.“For 100 years, airline transport has not been a good business,” Warren Buffett said in a 2013 interview on CNBC. “A seat on an airliner as a commodity to a great extent.”But managers with billion-dollar funds often can’t see the changes that you and I do. The tight-fisted Mr. Buffett flies around in a private jet he once named “The Indefensible.” And how would an analyst sitting in Wall Street’s glass buildings (as I once did) know the price of a gallon of milk? Even I almost missed the rise of airline fares.Yet, these Wall Street blind spots create enormous buying opportunities.Railways. Companies like Canadian Pacific Railway (NYSE:CP) rose +600% between 2009-2014.Ammunition. Bullet-maker Vista Outdoors (NYSE:VSTO) jumped +550% between 2020-2021.Coal. Near-bankrupt miner Peabody Energy (NYSE:BTU) skyrocketed +900% between 2021-2022In each of these instances, a “Main Street” industry would suddenly become a superstar winner because of one word:Consolidation.In the case of airlines, mega-mergers between top players meant that the top 4 carriers controlled two-thirds of the industry by 2013. Delta (NYSE:DAL) would make up 80% of all flights from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport that year.In rail, these same forces would turn a struggling industry into one of America’s most profitable sectors. Only seven Class I freight railroads exist today, down from 33 in 1980. And concentration in specific sectors is higher; two railroads now originate 65% of all U.S. grain.These changes are apparent to anyone who works in the business. Try to buy ammunition at your local gun store, and you’ll have a choice between two manufacturers. Shells now easily cost over a dollar per round. And at the grocery store, our choice of meat and prepackaged bread is an illusion. 2-3 companies now own dozens of brands on store shelves.Observant investors will notice these things in everyday life.Meanwhile, outsiders on Wall Street are often slow in responding to these tectonic shifts, especially when they’re happening far away from the glass high-rise offices of Manhattan or Omaha.Beating the Street at Its Own GameThere are three ingredients to these hidden gems:A “Hated” Industry. A history of low returns, poor growth and high capital requirements will set the stage for cheap stock prices.Consolidation. Mergers, acquisitions and bankruptcies that give the remaining players pricing power.Essential Goods. Sectors that produce goods that are difficult or impossible to substitute.And today, one sector stands out as the next big winner:Telecom.From Four to ThreeAsk any Wall Street investor about telecom, and watch them respond with a mix of apathy and disgust. The iShares Global Communication Services ETF (NYSEARCA:IXP) has risen just 7% since 2005, underperforming every other sector of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).There’s a good reason for the dismal performance. For years, America’s telecom firms have fought in a seven-way battle. The two top players AT&T (NYSE:T) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) competed against upstarts Sprint and T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS), along with smaller players Leap, MetroPCS and U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM).It was a recipe for disaster. High capital expenditure, changing technologies and a massive country to cover meant that firms like Verizon could sink $20 billion per year since 2000 into capital investment and still see end-user prices stagnate.Put another way, my $40-per-month cell phone bill had barely budged in the 20 years leading up to 2020But that also gives telecom the perfect setup for 300% gains.Since 2011, the number of wireless providers has shrunk from seven to four. And with U.S. Cellular’s market share dropping to 1%, the wireless industry has become a three-way race.Prices have already started creeping up. The cheapest plan from T-Mobile for a single line now costs $70 after taxes and fees, reversing years of price declines. According to the BLS, spending on cell phone services finally stopped falling in 2020.“A stable competitive market never has more than three significant competitors,” BCG founder Bruce Henderson noted in 1976. The “rule of three” eventually makes it “neither practical nor advantageous for either competitor to increase or decrease share.”In other words, telecom is no longer a race to the bottom.Which Telecom Stock Should You Buy?So, why do I say investors can make 300% with virtually no effort?That’s because there’s no need for fancy 3-stage DCF models……Complicated intrinsic value calculations……Or reading the tea leaves of management guidance.That’s because when industries consolidate, all companies gain.For airlines in 2013, investors could have easily made the same high returns on Southwest (NYSE:LUV), United (NASDAQ:UAL) or Hawaiian (NASDAQ:HA).Similarly, telecom’s three remaining players – AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile – all stand to profit. Even though Profit & Protection has highlighted AT&T for its cheapest starting price, the trio all provide the same essential wireless services, and all have begun flexing their oligopolistic pricing power.Bottom line: buy AT&T if you only pick one telecom, but all three should outperform over the next decade.Some Patience Required… Consolidation plays are phenomenal for their high batting average and relative safety. AT&T has a 6% dividend yield, one of the highest rates for a blue-chip stock.The strategy, however, can take years to play out. Freight railroad CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) took over a decade to rise 10x.That means high-frequency traders are better off buying high-beta momentum stocks listed in Tuesday’s newsletter. But if you are willing to wait for returns without really trying, then AT&T and the telecom industry provides a stunningly attractive play.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":367731589152872,"gmtCreate":1730796065975,"gmtModify":1730796070098,"author":{"id":"4087913319322160","authorId":"4087913319322160","name":"Skysoul","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/05ee5fc56ed6316e2022e2bdcf350781","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087913319322160","idStr":"4087913319322160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All these becos of misclassication of services to hardware cat revenue .....","listText":"All these becos of misclassication of services to hardware cat revenue .....","text":"All these becos of misclassication of services to hardware cat revenue .....","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367731589152872","repostId":"2481670835","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2481670835","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1730794271,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2481670835?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-11-05 16:11","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Super Micro Needs a New CEO Before Its AI Advantage Erodes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2481670835","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"The AI-server maker needs change at the top to recapture the trust of investors and customers.

But with the server maker under an accounting cloud, Super Micro now needs its chief executive to step down so it can fully realize the benefits of that trend.</p><p>Last week, the abrupt resignation of the company&#39;s auditors Ernst &amp; Young marked the second time in six years under Chief Executive Charles Liang&#39;s leadership that Super Micro has been accused by of improper internal financial controls. The company faces the possibility of a second delisting, as it delayed and still has not yet filed its annual report for fiscal 2024.</p><p>Deloitte &amp; Touche&#39;s last audit of the company took place in fiscal 2023, and Super Micro <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SMCI\">$(SMCI)$</a> asked shareholders to ratify EY as its new auditors at its 2023 annual meeting. One accounting expert, Francine McKenna, said that it is going to be tough for the company to find another auditor among the remaining Big Four accounting firms that Super Micro has not worked with. The remaining two, KPMG and PWC, would likely want big management changes at the top, such as the resignation of the CEO and possibly the CFO, and a new audit committee, according to McKenna, a former MarketWatch reporter.</p><p>&#34;They are obviously a very complex, problematic, recidivist, high-profile company,&#34; McKenna said. &#34;They have allegations by the DOJ, they have an activist short-seller report. Is another Big Four, either KPMG or PWC, going to take them on?&#34;</p><p>One precedent cited by McKenna, who writes The Dig, a newsletter on accounting, audit and corporate governance, comes from 2004, when electronics components maker Molex&#39;s outside auditor resigned in another so-called noisy resignation. Ernst &amp; Young took over as Molex&#39;s auditors in 2004 on the condition that its CEO and CFO resign.</p><p>The clock is ticking for Super Micro to find a new auditor as the company has until Nov. 16 to submit a plan on its timeline to file its annual report, which has to be approved by the Nasdaq. The company will be hosting a business update call on Tuesday, but it will not release earnings.</p><p>More recently, there was a similar situation in 2016 at Marvell Technology Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRVL\">$(MRVL)$</a>, which fired its co-founding husband-and-wife team, CEO Sehat Sutardja and President Weili Dai, after accounting issues led to an audit-committee investigation into its revenue-recognition policies, and probes by regulators. The co-founders remained on Marvell&#39;s board at the time. Marvell&#39;s investigation found no evidence of fraud but said that the &#34;tone at the top&#34; included pressure to meet revenue targets.</p><p>Liang co-founded Super Micro with his wife, Sara Liu, who is described in the company&#39;s last annual report from fiscal 2023 as senior vice president and director, and has had various positions, including treasurer.</p><p>Super Micro has seen revenue boom recently thanks to surging demand for artificial-intelligence servers, and at their highest point of 2024, Super Micro shares were up more than 300% on the year. But while Liang led the company to great heights, he&#39;s remained in charge for a precipitous fall in the stock price, as investors weigh the accounting concerns as well as margin pressures in the AI-server business. It is also being probed by the Department of Justice, and its stock has now erased its year-to-date gains.</p><p>Super Micro said in an SEC filing it doesn&#39;t believe that the ongoing review of its financial controls will lead to a restatement of past financial results and it disagrees with EY&#39;s decision. But the matter has become a dark cloud over the stock. Liang should step down so that the company can regain the trust of Wall Street and customers. A Melius Research analyst recently hypothesized that customers are now paying attention to Super Micro&#39;s saga, which could help competitor Dell Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DELL\">$(DELL)$</a> down the line.</p><p>A Super Micro spokesman referred to the company&#39;s past statements on the matter, and did not provide a comment on the board&#39;s continued support of Liang.</p><p>Comments from Ernst &amp; Young, cited in a regulatory filing by Super Micro, indicated that the auditors believe the company&#39;s board and audit committee are not independent from the CEO. EY said information it received as part of a special committee review &#34;raised questions, including about whether the company demonstrates a commitment to integrity and ethical values&#34; consistent with good financial-control principles, and &#34;about the ability and willingness of the audit committee and overall board to demonstrate and act as an oversight body...independent of the CEO.&#34;</p><p>EY added that the company was &#34;unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management,&#34; according to the filing.</p><p>Accounting experts said it is extremely rare for an audit firm, especially one of the Big Four, to disclose their reasons for resigning.</p><p>&#34;I suspect this happens a lot more than we see, except that the audit firms don&#39;t talk about it,&#34; said Shiva Rajgopal, a professor of accounting and auditing at Columbia Business School. &#34;This is the nuclear option. This must be really bad, otherwise they would not have gone public.&#34;</p><p>McKenna said it&#39;s possible a smaller, lesser-known accounting firm could take the company on as a client, but she fears that that a smaller firm &#34;would not have the experience, competence or the national-office backing - the oomph, the gravitas - to get these these guys to shape up,&#34; she said. She added that regulators would likely not be as hard on the company if there are significant changes at the top. &#34;The only way they could come out of it is if one of the other Big Four agreed to take it on and insisted on significant management and board changes.&#34;</p><p>In 2018, the Nasdaq began its previous delisting procedures. Super Micro <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SMCI.UK\">$(SMCI.UK)$</a> did not file its fiscal 2017 financial reports on time, saying it had to compile and analyze certain information to finalize the documentation and complete a related audit-committee investigation. In January 2020, it was approved for relisting, and Liang was ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reimburse Super Micro $2.1 million for stock profits he realized during the accounting period under question.</p><p>In one example of how close the company&#39;s board is to Liang, in March 2020, Super Micro&#39;s board agreed to give him a one-time payment of up to $8 million if the company&#39;s stock price met certain targets, to reward him for his &#34;valuable contributions and loyal service&#34; particularly during through the period &#34;when the company was not current in its SEC filings.&#34;</p><p>Liang was not accused of wrongdoing at that time, but then-Chief Financial Officer Howard Hideshima was charged with prematurely recognizing revenue and understating expenses over a period of at least three years, and the company paid a $17.5 million civil penalty, without admitting or denying the SEC&#39;s finding.</p><p>Hideshima, who was ordered to pay $350,000 to the SEC, now says on his LinkedIn page that he is working as a consultant for Ablecom Technology Inc., a manufacturing partner of Super Micro run by Steve Liang, Charles&#39;s brother. Charles Liang and his wife own 10% of Ablecom.</p><p>The company has disclosed all of these related-party associations in its 10K filings, except for mentioning that its former CFO, who was charged in its former accounting debacle, still works for companies associated with Charles Liang. Steve Liang and another brother, Bill Liang, are also on the board of Ablecom. These related parties were highlighted as problematic in a short-seller report in August by Hindenburg Research.</p><p>Liang repeatedly has said in interviews over the past few years that the company fixed the internal-control issues that led to its previous delisting, including in an interview to MarketWatch in 2023.</p><p>This past August, when Hindenburg detailed what it found as red flags, it also highlighted a whistleblower lawsuit filed against the company in April, in which the plaintiff, Bob Luong, alleged how Super Micro misallocated revenue to hardware from services to inflate margins in its hardware business. A recurring concern among Wall Street analysts has been the low gross margins in its server business, even as revenue has surged due to a boost in sales for AI data centers.</p><p>In early September, Super Micro said that the Hindenburg report was misleading and that it does not expect its delayed annual report to contain materially different results from those already reported. Liang also said in a letter to investors and customers that the Hindenburg report contained &#34;misleading presentations of information that we have previously shared publicly.&#34; In July, after EY told the board&#39;s audit committee about its concerns about Super Micro&#39;s financial controls, an independent special committee was formed to review certain internal controls and certain corporate-governance procedures.</p><p>Liang owns over 11% of Super Micro stock, according to FactSet, but he is also seen as a key to the company, which warned in its fiscal 2023 annual report that it had no succession plan. &#34;His experience in leading our business and his personal involvement in key relationships with suppliers, customers and strategic partners are extremely valuable to our company,&#34; Super Micro said in that August 2023 filing. &#34;We currently do not have a succession plan for the replacement of Mr. Liang if it were to become necessary.&#34;</p><p>In a June 2023 interview with MarketWatch, Liang was asked about a succession plan, and said the company &#34;was planning, for sure,&#34; but he declined to provide any further details. Liang has been an early advocate for green computing, a key issue coming up now with power-hungry AI servers. He was described in a report by short-seller Spruce Point Capital Management in early 2023 as &#34;a genius&#34; by a former employee and described as a &#34;counter-thinker.&#34;</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s a liability.

But with the server maker under an accounting cloud, Super Micro now needs its chief executive to step down so it can fully realize the benefits of that trend.</p><p>Last week, the abrupt resignation of the company&#39;s auditors Ernst &amp; Young marked the second time in six years under Chief Executive Charles Liang&#39;s leadership that Super Micro has been accused by of improper internal financial controls. The company faces the possibility of a second delisting, as it delayed and still has not yet filed its annual report for fiscal 2024.</p><p>Deloitte &amp; Touche&#39;s last audit of the company took place in fiscal 2023, and Super Micro <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SMCI\">$(SMCI)$</a> asked shareholders to ratify EY as its new auditors at its 2023 annual meeting. One accounting expert, Francine McKenna, said that it is going to be tough for the company to find another auditor among the remaining Big Four accounting firms that Super Micro has not worked with. The remaining two, KPMG and PWC, would likely want big management changes at the top, such as the resignation of the CEO and possibly the CFO, and a new audit committee, according to McKenna, a former MarketWatch reporter.</p><p>&#34;They are obviously a very complex, problematic, recidivist, high-profile company,&#34; McKenna said. &#34;They have allegations by the DOJ, they have an activist short-seller report. Is another Big Four, either KPMG or PWC, going to take them on?&#34;</p><p>One precedent cited by McKenna, who writes The Dig, a newsletter on accounting, audit and corporate governance, comes from 2004, when electronics components maker Molex&#39;s outside auditor resigned in another so-called noisy resignation. Ernst &amp; Young took over as Molex&#39;s auditors in 2004 on the condition that its CEO and CFO resign.</p><p>The clock is ticking for Super Micro to find a new auditor as the company has until Nov. 16 to submit a plan on its timeline to file its annual report, which has to be approved by the Nasdaq. The company will be hosting a business update call on Tuesday, but it will not release earnings.</p><p>More recently, there was a similar situation in 2016 at Marvell Technology Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRVL\">$(MRVL)$</a>, which fired its co-founding husband-and-wife team, CEO Sehat Sutardja and President Weili Dai, after accounting issues led to an audit-committee investigation into its revenue-recognition policies, and probes by regulators. The co-founders remained on Marvell&#39;s board at the time. Marvell&#39;s investigation found no evidence of fraud but said that the &#34;tone at the top&#34; included pressure to meet revenue targets.</p><p>Liang co-founded Super Micro with his wife, Sara Liu, who is described in the company&#39;s last annual report from fiscal 2023 as senior vice president and director, and has had various positions, including treasurer.</p><p>Super Micro has seen revenue boom recently thanks to surging demand for artificial-intelligence servers, and at their highest point of 2024, Super Micro shares were up more than 300% on the year. But while Liang led the company to great heights, he&#39;s remained in charge for a precipitous fall in the stock price, as investors weigh the accounting concerns as well as margin pressures in the AI-server business. It is also being probed by the Department of Justice, and its stock has now erased its year-to-date gains.</p><p>Super Micro said in an SEC filing it doesn&#39;t believe that the ongoing review of its financial controls will lead to a restatement of past financial results and it disagrees with EY&#39;s decision. But the matter has become a dark cloud over the stock. Liang should step down so that the company can regain the trust of Wall Street and customers. A Melius Research analyst recently hypothesized that customers are now paying attention to Super Micro&#39;s saga, which could help competitor Dell Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DELL\">$(DELL)$</a> down the line.</p><p>A Super Micro spokesman referred to the company&#39;s past statements on the matter, and did not provide a comment on the board&#39;s continued support of Liang.</p><p>Comments from Ernst &amp; Young, cited in a regulatory filing by Super Micro, indicated that the auditors believe the company&#39;s board and audit committee are not independent from the CEO. EY said information it received as part of a special committee review &#34;raised questions, including about whether the company demonstrates a commitment to integrity and ethical values&#34; consistent with good financial-control principles, and &#34;about the ability and willingness of the audit committee and overall board to demonstrate and act as an oversight body...independent of the CEO.&#34;</p><p>EY added that the company was &#34;unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management,&#34; according to the filing.</p><p>Accounting experts said it is extremely rare for an audit firm, especially one of the Big Four, to disclose their reasons for resigning.</p><p>&#34;I suspect this happens a lot more than we see, except that the audit firms don&#39;t talk about it,&#34; said Shiva Rajgopal, a professor of accounting and auditing at Columbia Business School. &#34;This is the nuclear option. This must be really bad, otherwise they would not have gone public.&#34;</p><p>McKenna said it&#39;s possible a smaller, lesser-known accounting firm could take the company on as a client, but she fears that that a smaller firm &#34;would not have the experience, competence or the national-office backing - the oomph, the gravitas - to get these these guys to shape up,&#34; she said. She added that regulators would likely not be as hard on the company if there are significant changes at the top. &#34;The only way they could come out of it is if one of the other Big Four agreed to take it on and insisted on significant management and board changes.&#34;</p><p>In 2018, the Nasdaq began its previous delisting procedures. Super Micro <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SMCI.UK\">$(SMCI.UK)$</a> did not file its fiscal 2017 financial reports on time, saying it had to compile and analyze certain information to finalize the documentation and complete a related audit-committee investigation. In January 2020, it was approved for relisting, and Liang was ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reimburse Super Micro $2.1 million for stock profits he realized during the accounting period under question.</p><p>In one example of how close the company&#39;s board is to Liang, in March 2020, Super Micro&#39;s board agreed to give him a one-time payment of up to $8 million if the company&#39;s stock price met certain targets, to reward him for his &#34;valuable contributions and loyal service&#34; particularly during through the period &#34;when the company was not current in its SEC filings.&#34;</p><p>Liang was not accused of wrongdoing at that time, but then-Chief Financial Officer Howard Hideshima was charged with prematurely recognizing revenue and understating expenses over a period of at least three years, and the company paid a $17.5 million civil penalty, without admitting or denying the SEC&#39;s finding.</p><p>Hideshima, who was ordered to pay $350,000 to the SEC, now says on his LinkedIn page that he is working as a consultant for Ablecom Technology Inc., a manufacturing partner of Super Micro run by Steve Liang, Charles&#39;s brother. Charles Liang and his wife own 10% of Ablecom.</p><p>The company has disclosed all of these related-party associations in its 10K filings, except for mentioning that its former CFO, who was charged in its former accounting debacle, still works for companies associated with Charles Liang. Steve Liang and another brother, Bill Liang, are also on the board of Ablecom. These related parties were highlighted as problematic in a short-seller report in August by Hindenburg Research.</p><p>Liang repeatedly has said in interviews over the past few years that the company fixed the internal-control issues that led to its previous delisting, including in an interview to MarketWatch in 2023.</p><p>This past August, when Hindenburg detailed what it found as red flags, it also highlighted a whistleblower lawsuit filed against the company in April, in which the plaintiff, Bob Luong, alleged how Super Micro misallocated revenue to hardware from services to inflate margins in its hardware business. A recurring concern among Wall Street analysts has been the low gross margins in its server business, even as revenue has surged due to a boost in sales for AI data centers.</p><p>In early September, Super Micro said that the Hindenburg report was misleading and that it does not expect its delayed annual report to contain materially different results from those already reported. Liang also said in a letter to investors and customers that the Hindenburg report contained &#34;misleading presentations of information that we have previously shared publicly.&#34; In July, after EY told the board&#39;s audit committee about its concerns about Super Micro&#39;s financial controls, an independent special committee was formed to review certain internal controls and certain corporate-governance procedures.</p><p>Liang owns over 11% of Super Micro stock, according to FactSet, but he is also seen as a key to the company, which warned in its fiscal 2023 annual report that it had no succession plan. &#34;His experience in leading our business and his personal involvement in key relationships with suppliers, customers and strategic partners are extremely valuable to our company,&#34; Super Micro said in that August 2023 filing. &#34;We currently do not have a succession plan for the replacement of Mr. Liang if it were to become necessary.&#34;</p><p>In a June 2023 interview with MarketWatch, Liang was asked about a succession plan, and said the company &#34;was planning, for sure,&#34; but he declined to provide any further details. Liang has been an early advocate for green computing, a key issue coming up now with power-hungry AI servers. He was described in a report by short-seller Spruce Point Capital Management in early 2023 as &#34;a genius&#34; by a former employee and described as a &#34;counter-thinker.&#34;</p><p>&#34;It&#39;s a liability. If he were to go, there&#39;s nothing behind him. There&#39;s a vacuum,&#34; the former employee told Spruce Point Capital at the time.</p><p>Now the company should start to think about succession earlier than expected, or risk that customers will make their future purchases elsewhere, all while investor trust dwindles. If Liang were to step down, Super Micro potentially could get a Big Four auditor to help it regain the confidence of the financial community.</p><p>As the saying goes, something appears to be rotten in Denmark, and the CEO needs to give someone else the chance to return the company to its former glory.</p></body></html>\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"LU0154236417.USD":"BGF US FLEXIBLE EQUITY \"A2\" ACC","LU1316542783.SGD":"Janus Henderson Horizon Global Technology Leaders A2 SGD","BK4581":"高盛持仓","LU1720051108.HKD":"ALLIANZ GLOBAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE \"AT\" (HKD) ACC","LU2458330169.SGD":"FRANKLIN SHARIAH TECHNOLOGY \"A\" (SGD) ACC","LU2357305700.SGD":"Allianz Global Artificial Intelligence ET H2-SGD","LU2458330243.SGD":"FRANKLIN SHARIAH TECHNOLOGY \"A-H1\" (SGDHDG) ACC","BK4170":"电脑硬件、储存设备及电脑周边","LU0642271901.SGD":"Janus Henderson Horizon Global Technology Leaders A2 SGD-H","LU0056508442.USD":"贝莱德世界科技基金A2","LU2473716301.USD":"ALLIANZ GLOBAL INTELLIGENT CITIES INCOME \"AMF\" (USD) INC","LU1992135399.USD":"Allianz Global Intelligent Cities AT Acc USD","MRVL":"迈威尔科技","BK4515":"5G概念","LU1989764664.SGD":"CPR Invest - Global Disruptive Opportunities A2 Acc SGD-H","LU2272731782.SGD":"Allianz Global Intelligent Cities AM Dis H2-SGD","LU0267386448.USD":"FIDELITY FIRST ALL COUNTRY WORLD \"A\" (USD) INC","IE00BMPRXR70.SGD":"Neuberger Berman 5G Connectivity A Acc SGD-H","IE00BMPRXN33.USD":"NEUBERGER BERMAN 5G CONNECTIVITY \"A\" (USD) ACC","LU2272731600.USD":"Allianz Global Intelligent Cities AM Dis USD","LU1169590202.USD":"ALLSPRING (LUX)  U.S. SELECT EQUITY \"I\" (USD) ACC","LU1989764748.USD":"东方汇理环球颠覆性机遇A2 Acc","BK4585":"ETF&股票定投概念","LU2322448791.USD":"ALLIANZ GLOBAL INTELLIGENT CITIES INCOME \"AMG\" (USD) INC","LU1169589451.USD":"ALLSPRING (LUX)  U.S. SELECT EQUITY \"A\" (USD) ACC","LU1992135472.HKD":"ALLIANZ GLOBAL INTELLIGENT CITIES \"AT\" (HKD) ACC","LU2322448957.HKD":"ALLIANZ GLOBAL INTELLIGENT CITIES INCOME \"AMG\" (HKD) INC","LU0053671581.USD":"摩根大通美国小盘成长股 A(dist)","BK4535":"淡马锡持仓","SMCI":"超微电脑","LU1852331112.SGD":"Blackrock World Technology Fund A2 SGD-H","LU1720051017.SGD":"Allianz Global Artificial Intelligence AT Acc H2-SGD","BK4141":"半导体产品","LU0061475181.USD":"THREADNEEDLE (LUX) AMERICAN \"AU\" (USD) ACC","BK4588":"碎股","LU1861215975.USD":"贝莱德新一代科技基金 A2","LU1548497426.USD":"安联环球人工智能AT Acc","LU2272731865.HKD":"ALLIANZ GLOBAL INTELLIGENT CITIES INCOME \"AM\" (HKD) INC","LU1861220033.SGD":"Blackrock Next Generation Technology A2 SGD-H","LU0127658192.USD":"EASTSPRING INVESTMENTS GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY \"A\" (USD) ACC"},"source_url":"https://dowjonesnews.com/newdjn/logon.aspx?AL=N","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2481670835","content_text":"Super Micro Computer Inc. was an early beneficiary of the artificial-intelligence boom.

Some officials have discussed concluding the purchases around October 2022 so they could lift rates soon thereafter if the recovery is stronger or inflation is higher than now anticipated.</p>\n<p>During a prior asset-purchase program that ended in 2014, the Fed shrank its purchases in modest, equal amounts over the course of 10 months.

Some officials have raised concerns about rising home prices and are pressing to stop purchases of mortgage bonds sooner.</p>\n<p>But Mr. Powell and other officials have poured cold water on those concerns in recent weeks. They have said mortgage buying, by purchasing longer-dated assets, provides a way to more broadly stimulate the economy and isn’t focused squarely on housing markets.</p>\n<p>“If the housing market has you really worried, that’s an argument for just tapering everything sooner and faster,” said William English, a former senior Fed economist who is now a professor at the Yale School of Management.</p>\n<p><b>Inflation outlook</b></p>\n<p>For a third straight month in June,inflation ran hotter&nbsp;than many economists had expected. The Labor Department’s consumer-price index increased 5.4% from a year ago, the highest 12-month rate since August 2008.</p>\n<p>Mr. Powell said two weeks ago that&nbsp;many of the elevated price pressures&nbsp;can still be traced to goods and services affected by supply-chain bottlenecks and other pandemic-driven upheaval. As a result, he said it would be too soon for the Fed to abandon its earlier expectation that prices will return to their 2% target on their own and to raise rates to cool down demand and reduce inflation faster.</p>\n<p>But Mr. Powell could face questions over how long the central bank and its 12-member rate-setting committee feels it would take to revisit their projections. Price pressures in some sectors of the economy where inflation had been subdued over the past year, including residential rents, have picked in recent months.</p>\n<p><b>Delta variant</b></p>\n<p>Mr. Powell is also likely to be pressed on how the recent increase in Covid-19 cases among unvaccinated populations could reshape the central bank’s growth forecasts for the rest of the year. While a return to shutdowns and other state-mandated restrictions on activity seem less likely than a year ago, increased hesitancy on the part of consumers to return to normal spending routines could complicate the economic outlook.</p>\n<p>Since Fed officials last met in June, government-bond prices have jumped, a sign that investors are less confident about long-term growth prospects and less worried about inflation.</p>\n<p>Yields, which rise when bond prices fall, climbed sharply earlier in the year, lifted by expectations that vaccinations and fiscal stimulus would spur an economic boom. After hitting a 13-month high of 1.75% at the end of March, the 10-year Treasury yield has declined—to 1.57% on June 16, after the Fed concluded its previous meeting, and to 1.24%, a five-month low, when the Fed’s meeting began on Tuesday.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
