Smart Money Is Betting Big In SMCI Options

Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. The company announced it submitted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42099063/super-micro-computer-inc-nasdaq-non-compliance-update">compliance plan to the Nasdaq</a>.
What Happened: After the market close on Wednesday, Super Micro said it submitted a compliance plan to the Nasdaq after receiving a notification letter that it was not in compliance with the Nasdaq&#8217;s timely filing rule. The plan was submitted on Monday with respect to supporting the company&#8217;s request for an extension to regain compliance.
Super Micro said in the compliance plan that it believes it will be able to file both its annual report for the fiscal year ended June, 30 2024 and its quarterly report for the period ended Sept. 30, 2024 within the discretionary period that can be granted by the Nasdaq.

The update comes after the company&#8217;s independent auditor resigned at the end of October over&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">governance and transparency concerns</a>. 
Super Micro on Monday announced that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42069253/supermicro-stock-is-rising-tuesday-whats-going-on">appointed BDO USA</a> as its new independent auditor, effective immediately.
&#8220;BDO is a highly respected accounting firm with global capabilities.&nbsp;This is an important next step to bring our financial statements current, an effort we are pursuing with both diligence and urgency,&#8221; said&nbsp;Charles Liang, president and CEO of SuperMicro.
Super Micro has faced significant selling pressure since the company&#8217;s auditor raised concerns. The stock traded all the way down to around $17.25 per share last week before bouncing back. Super Micro shares are now up more than 43% over the past five trading sessions.
SMCI Price Action: Super Micro shares were up 5.23% at $27.18 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Super Micro Computer Stock Is Rallying Thursday: What's Going On?

WIIM

Super Micro Computer shares are trading higher. The company announced it submitted a compliance plan to Nasdaq.

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.&nbsp;is set to initiate mass production of its latest AI chip, the Ascend 910C, in early 2025, despite facing significant hurdles due to U.S. trade restrictions.
What Happened: The Chinese telecom giant has already distributed&nbsp;samples of the Ascend 910C&nbsp;to various tech firms and begun accepting orders. The chip is designed to rival those from U.S. AI chipmaker&nbsp;Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Huawei remains a focal point in U.S.-China trade and security tensions, with Washington imposing restrictions over national security concerns, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
These U.S. curbs have impacted Huawei&#8217;s chip production, limiting its ability to achieve high yields necessary for commercial success. The Ascend 910C is produced by&nbsp;Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) using its N+2 process. However, the absence of advanced lithography tools has restricted the chip&#8217;s yield to about 20%, a source revealed.

Huawei&#8217;s current advanced processor, the 910B, also suffers from yield issues, leading to reduced production goals. U.S. restrictions have further complicated the situation by restricting access to critical lithography technology from Dutch manufacturer ASML. Despite these obstacles, Huawei plans to prioritize strategic government and corporate orders for its new chip.
Why It Matters: The U.S. has been tightening its grip on Huawei. In May, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38682654/biden-administration-tightens-grip-on-chinas-huawei-revokes-key-export-licenses-from-us-chipmakers">revoked export licenses </a>for major American semiconductor firms like Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), preventing them from supplying crucial chips to Huawei. This marked a significant escalation in the U.S. strategy to curb Huawei&#8217;s technological rise.
In October, U.S. lawmakers urged the Department of Commerce to take tougher action against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41368844/us-lawmakers-demand-tougher-action-on-huaweis-secretive-chip-network">Huawei&#8217;s alleged attempts </a>to bypass sanctions through a secretive network of semiconductor facilities. This included leveraging companies like Pengxinxu and SwaySure Technology.
Most recently, in November, the U.S. reportedly asked Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to halt shipments of advanced chips used in AI applications to Chinese customers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41867470/us-asks-tsmc-to-stop-shipment-of-chips-used-in-ai-applications-to-customers-from-china-after-its-chip-was-found-in-huawei-ai-processor">after discovering one</a> of its chips in a Huawei AI processor.

Insights From Analysts:
Wedbush's Dan Ives expressed upbeat sentiment about Nvidia's earnings, saying that the AI giant could deliver earnings beat and raise guidance as well.
"We expect a drop the mic performance from Nvidia tomorrow night as Godfather of AI Jensen &amp; Co. are the only game in town with $1 trillion of AI Cap-Ex on the way with Nvidia&#8217;s GPUs the new oil and gold in this world."

While there is optimism among analysts about Nvidia and other AI stocks, the European Central Bank expressed caution about the possibility of an "AI bubble."
&#8220;This concentration among a few large firms raises concerns over the possibility of an AI-related asset price bubble,&#8221; the ECB said in its latest Financial Stability Review, underscoring the increasing dependence of the equity markets on select companies.
This could also be a cause of concern for equity markets beyond the U.S., noted the ECB.
"Also, in a context of deeply integrated global equity markets, it points to the risk of adverse global spillovers, should earnings expectations for these firms be disappointed."
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, on the other hand, remained optimistic about equity markets.
"Stocks historically do better in years 1 and 2 of a President who was re-elected vs a new President in office."

US Stocks Poised For Tentative Start As Geopolitical Tensions, Nvidia Earnings Keep Investors Cautious: Tech Bull Expects AI Bellwether To Deliver 'Drop The Mic Performance'

Shares of Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) closed 31.24% higher in trade on Tuesday at $28.27 apiece. This happened after it announced the appointment of BDO USA as its Independent Auditor and also filed a compliance plan with Nasdaq, according to its press release.
The aforementioned update has prevented the company shares from being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42008585/why-super-micros-survival-may-hinge-on-nvidia-earnings-nasdaq-deadline">delisted from Nasdaq</a>, however, company insiders loaded up on the shares of SMCI before this update. Furthermore, despite the rise in shares, analysts tracking the company have mostly downgraded the stock.
What Happened: Super Micro Computer shares have waded through a flurry in 2024 since it has been riddled with several troubles. It missed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42057634/super-micro-computer-is-up-by-30-on-tuesday-pre-market-whats-going-on">filing the Form 10-K</a> with the SEC, the annual financial report for the company&#8217;s year ending June 30.
It was followed by the release of the short-seller Hindenburg&#8217;s report on Aug. 27 stating that the company was involved in accounting manipulation along with the allegations of self-dealing and evading sanctions.
Ernst &amp; Young resigned as the auditor of the company on Oct. 30 and it delayed filing the Form 10-Q with the SEC for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, ending Sept. 30.

Why It Matters: The stock was nearly 64% up at $28.27 per share from its 52-week low of $17.25 apiece. But still down 77% from its 52-week high at $122.90 apiece. On a year-to-date basis, the stock was down by nearly 1%.

The relative strength index at 45.26 implies that the stock is not overbought or oversold. The recent trade by company insiders, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> shows that they bought the stocks before announcing the appointment of the new Independent Auditor between Nov. 1 to Nov. 12.

Gold Moves Higher; Medtronic Posts Upbeat Results

Wall Street managed to recover from a red start caused by heightened geopolitical tensions stemming from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/russia">ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.</a>
Ukraine launched its first U.S.-made missile strike on a Russian city, while Russian President Vladimir Putin adjusted the nation's nuclear doctrine to broaden scenarios for a potential response. Yet, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov sought to assuage fears of a nuclear escalation, stating that a nuclear war is not something Russia is considering.
Amid the geopolitical noise, investors remained focused on corporate earnings. Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), often regarded as a bellwether of consumer health, surpassed expectations for the recent quarter. The retailer&#8217;s stock surged 4%, hitting fresh all-time highs and boosting market sentiment.
At midday, both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 posted marginal gains, while blue-chip stocks showed a slight deceleration and small caps held steady.
In fixed income, longer-dated bond yields dipped, with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) climbing 0.5%. The U.S. dollar gained 0.1%, attempting to rebound after two consecutive sessions of losses.
Geopolitical risks lifted demand for commodities, with gold and oil rebounding 0.8% and 0.5%, respectively. Natural gas prices – as closely tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>) – extended the rally, adding 2.6% after a 5.3% jump on Monday and hitting the highest levels since June. 
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continued to display extraordinary strength, with the cryptocurrency breaking to a new all-time high of $93,931, underscoring robust market interest despite broader macro uncertainties.

Shares of SuperMicro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) are trading higher Tuesday on continued momentum after the company announced the appointment of an independent auditor and the filing of a compliance plan with the Nasdaq. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42052157/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-stock-after-hours">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: SuperMicro announced late Monday that its Audit Committee appointed BDO USA as its independent auditor, effective immediately. BDO is a member firm of BDO International, one of the world&#8217;s top five accounting firms networks.
&#8220;This is an important next step to bring our financial statements current, an effort we are pursuing with both diligence and urgency,&#8221; said Charles Liang, president and CEO of SuperMicro.
SuperMicro shares have faced significant selling pressure ever since the company&#8217;s independent auditor resigned over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">governance and transparency concerns</a>. The company announced last week that it was unable to file its financial report for the period ended Sept. 30 in a timely manner.
SuperMicro on Tuesday said it submitted a compliance plan to the Nasdaq, seeking an extension to meet continued listing requirements. SuperMicro stated it intends to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, within the discretionary period that can be extended by the Nasdaq.

What Else: SuperMicro is also showcasing its HPC-optimized multi-node systems at the SuperComputing 2024 conference this week. The company announced Tuesday that it will showcase key products including the liquid-cooled FlexTwin and SuperBlade architecture. The systems feature the latest processors, direct liquid cooling and enhanced storage technologies to optimize high-performance computing environments.
&#8220;Since the release of the industry-first Twin systems back in 2007, Supermicro has consistently been a pioneer in developing the densest, most efficient multi-node architectures for HPC workloads,&#8221; Liang said. 
&#8220;The combination of Supermicro&#8217;s liquid cooling experience, extensive multi-node development expertise, rack-scale integration capacity, and the latest industry technologies enables us to provide our customers with HPC solutions of unprecedented performance and scale, helping to solve the world&#8217;s most complex computational challenges.&#8221;
