The Fall of Supermicro Computer

Supermicro Computer, a prominent California-based server manufacturer for AI data centers, recently experienced a significant stock decline, losing $50 billion in valuation and facing potential delisting from the NASDAQ. Despite previous predictions that its revenue could double within two years due to soaring demand for AI servers, the company has encountered numerous controversies, including allegations of Chinese spyware sales and previous accounting violations. The situation worsened when activist short-seller Hindenburg Research published alarming findings, including ongoing bad accounting practices and potential bypassing of export bans. This led to the resignation of the company's auditors amid increasing scrutiny, resulting in an 80% drop in stock price, although investors remain cautiously optimistic about the underlying business potential.
