Super Micro Computer, Inc. shares are rising again; this morning, according to Fast Company, they were up over 6% to $59.25 per share. That rise is in addition to 16%+ rise in the stock yesterday and over 83% year-over year, as of yesterday’s close. Last August, a flurry of bad news, including alleged accounting issues, kicked off a months-long drop in the stock’s price, Fast Company reported.
There are two likely reasons for the turnaround, according to reports:
The company has delayed filing of its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The form should have been filed last year, and if Supermicro does not file it by next Tuesday, February 25, the company could be delisted from the Nasdaq. But Super Micro now says it will be able to file its Form 10-K by that deadline, according to a statement.
And the company also raised its revenue estimates for 2026, and they are strong, despite slightly lowered fiscal Q2 2025.
