Key Takeaways

  • Super Micro Computer reports earnings after the bell Tuesday, with its stock nearly 80% below its highest point in March.
  • The few analysts covering the stock mostly have a cautious view of its outlook, but expect it will regain some of the value it has lost in recent months.
  • Concerns with the company's accounting practices have sent the stock lower amid a report from a short seller, delayed filings, and the recent resignation of EY as its auditor.

Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is set to report earnings after the bell as it looks to turn around the stock's recent slide and address concerns about its accounting practices.

Analysts have a cautious view of the server manufacturer. Three of the four analysts tracked by Visible Alpha gave the stock a "hold" rating, and the other analyst issued a "sell" rating. However, the average price target of $44.88 suggests that analysts expect the stock will recover from its recent losses, but not quite to the heights it 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:reached earlier this year.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, analysts expect Super Micro will report revenue around $6.43 billion, more than triple last year's $2.12 billion. The tech company's profits are also expected to more than double to $414.67 million, compared to $157 million a year ago, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.

After its 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:stock had already tumbled in August, 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:short seller Hindenburg Research 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:issued a report accusing Super Micro of accounting manipulation and other issues. 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:A day later, the company informed the 澳洲幸运5官方开ꦛ奖结果体彩网:Securit𒀰ies and Exchange Commission (SEC) that the filing of its 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:annual 10-K would be delayed.

The company is also 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:reportedly facing investigations from the Department of Justice (DOJ) into its accounting practices.
