On August 27, 2024, the investor research firm Hindenburg Research released a report that detailed alleged “accounting red flags, evidence of undisclosed related party transactions, sanctions and export control failures, and customer issues” at Super Micro Computer. On this news, the price of Super Micro shares declined by $14.87 per share, from $562.51 per share on August 26, 2024, to close at $547.64 on August 27, 2024.

On August 28, 2024, the day after Hindenburg Research published its report, Super Micro Computer disclosed that it would delay the filing of its annual report for its fiscal year that ended June 30, 2024 in order to “complete its assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting”. On this news, the price of Super Micro shares declined by $104.15 per share, or approximately 18.3%, to close at $443.49 on August 28, 2024.

The lawsuit alleges that Super Micro Computer failed to disclose that the Company: (i) overreported sales and underreported expenses; (ii) had re-hired multiple executives who departed in the wake of its prior accounting scandal; (iii) had a closer relationship to its related parties than disclosed; and (iv) continued to export products to areas restricted by the United States government as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, risking government sanction.
