Editor's Note: The headline has been updated to reflect the article's content more accurately.
Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) is teetering on the edge of a dramatic pivot. Once a darling of Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) AI-driven success, the server manufacturer now finds itself grappling with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/news">slew of issues</a> that could determine its survival.
As Super Micro hurtles toward a Nasdaq delisting deadline, all eyes are on Nvidia's earnings next week to gauge whether Super Micro can steady its ship—or sink further into the abyss.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia's Shadow Looms Large</h2>
Supermicro's close ties with Nvidia have been both a blessing and a curse. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent111524&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="456" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15071011/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-5.39.54-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-650036" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15071011/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-5.39.54-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/15071011/Screenshot-2024-11-15-at-5.39.54-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

Nvidia's dominance in AI chip innovation fueled a meteoric rise for SMCI stock, especially during the first quarter, but that relationship is now under scrutiny. 
Recent whispers suggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/11/41745935/super-micro-computer-posts-q1-earnings-are-delisting-fears-here-to-stay-or-can-the-stock">Nvidia is diversifying its partnerships</a>, reportedly redirecting orders from Super Micro to other server vendors. While Nvidia hasn't officially confirmed these moves, the implications are clear: reputational and operational risks tied to Super Micro's ongoing crises might be too hot for Nvidia to handle.
Nvidia's earnings call on Nov. 20 could be the turning point for SMCI stock investors. If Nvidia acknowledges its cooling stance toward Super Micro, the already battered stock might face another wave of sell-offs. 
On the flip side, silence on the matter could offer Super Micro a temporary reprieve.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI Stock Potential Delisting Drama</h2>
Super Micro's troubles don't end with Nvidia. The company is racing against a Nov. 16 Nasdaq deadline to resolve its delinquent SEC filings, a fallout from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41052423/super-micro-computer-stock-falls-on-report-of-doj-probe-what-to-know">ongoing accounting fiasco</a> sparked by Hindenburg Research's scathing short report. 
With its 10-K filing delayed, its 10-Q now also postponed, and its auditor Ernst &amp; Young resigning in October, the situation looks bleak.
If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/11/41745935/super-micro-computer-posts-q1-earnings-are-delisting-fears-here-to-stay-or-can-the-stock">the Nasdaq delisting</a> process kicks off, SMCI stock could lose access to critical ETFs and its spot in the S&amp;P 500, leaving it to trade over the counter. 
This downgrade could scare off institutional investors and trigger further downward momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia&#8217;s Earnings &#8211; A Litmus Test For SMCI Stock Investors</h2>
Despite the doom and gloom, Super Micro isn't entirely out of moves. An independent <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/9e8eae65-8c29-4ab9-aea6-89e0a7a2f356">committee</a> has found no evidence of fraud among its management and plans to recommend remedial measures soon. If these measures, combined with a plausible compliance plan for Nasdaq, are compelling enough, Super Micro could buy itself more time to recover.
But even if SMCI clears these hurdles, regaining Nvidia's trust and rebuilding its credibility in the market won't be a walk in the park. 
For now, Nvidia's earnings report might be a forecast for the AI boom and a litmus test for Super Micro's survival. Investors should brace for a make-or-break week ahead.

The deal is "proof of concept" that the company's product can power large-scale data centers, according to Piper Sandler.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58933b2043eaaa0001698f48/kashy-harrison">Analyst Kashy Harrison</a> upgraded the rating from Neutral to Overweight while raising the price target from $10 to $20.
The Bloom Energy Thesis: The latest order could "open the door to future arrangements with other utilities," Harrison said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Due to previous failures, markets had been skeptical about Bloom Energy's ability to deliver power to large data centers, the analyst stated. The order from AEP "is literally 10x what we were expecting," he added.
"Due to AEP order, the 80 MW SK Eternix order, the minimum 125 MW SK Ecoplant commitment, and continued momentum with other domestic customers, we see a path to $1.8B of revenues next year," Harrison further wrote.
BE Price Action: Shares of Bloom Energy Industries had risen by 49.21% to $19.83 at the time of publication on Friday.

The announcement comes just before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office. Trump had previously attacked Taiwan for allegedly undermining the U.S. chip industry and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41845483/taiwan-semiconductor-us-expansion-plans-unfazed-by-trump-win-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">criticized the U.S. Chips Act</a>.
The first of Taiwan Semiconductor's facilities will likely commence operations by early 2025, focusing on producing cutting-edge logic chips. These chips will power next-generation technologies, including 5G/6G smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and AI applications.
Early production at the Arizona plant reportedly matches the quality of Taiwan Semiconductor's facilities in Taiwan, showcasing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41545709/usa-scores-big-win-taiwan-semiconductor-arizona-plant-sees-good-production-yields" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong initial yields</a>.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo told Barron's the importance of manufacturing these advanced chips domestically, emphasizing their role in AI, quantum computing, and military hardware.
The initiative aims to mitigate risks associated with overseas supply chains by producing these chips on U.S. soil, addressing a critical national security concern.
In addition to the direct funding, the U.S. government is extending up to $5 billion in proposed loans to support Taiwan Semiconductor's Arizona project.
The investment will likely generate approximately 6,000 direct manufacturing jobs. A senior U.S. official told Barron's that at least $1 billion of the allocated funding could be distributed to Taiwan Semiconductor this year, contingent on meeting specific milestones.
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor remains focused on consolidating its moat while diversifying its footprint beyond Taiwan as global governments dole out attractive subsidies.
The contract chipmaker has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/24/11/41951575/taiwan-semi-boosts-advanced-chipmaking-with-record-euv-expansion-grabs-56-global-share" rel="noreferrer noopener">ramped up its</a> deployment of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems, a vital technology in semiconductor production, even with the substantial expense involved.
Each EUV machine costs more than $100 million, making them some of the most costly assets in the chip manufacturing sector.
Industry analysts suggest that TSMC has significantly boosted its EUV capacity, increasing its share of global EUV installations from 50% in 2020 to 56% by 2023.
In Asia, Japan has also earmarked over $64.9 billion to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/41939018/japan-increases-semiconductor-funding-as-us-trade-policies-pressure-taiwan-semiconductor" rel="noreferrer noopener">boost the semiconductor and AI</a> sectors. Taiwan Semiconductor is eyeing a second facility in Japan's Kumamoto region, considering a $13.5 billion investment after its first $8.6 billion wafer factory there.
Additionally, the company intends to establish a third advanced chip plant valued at $20 billion in Kumamoto to produce 3-nanometer chips.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock is up 86% year-to-date.
Price Actions: TSM stock is down 1.21% at $186.23 at the last check on Friday.
