Artificial intelligence (AI) server firm Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is finding itself in murkier waters. As if smuggling Nvidia (NVDA) chips in contravention of export controls was not enough, the company's own shareholders have now accused Super Micro of falsely inflating sales and the price of SMCI stock. Shareholders filed the suit in a federal court in San Francisco, California, and are seeking unspecified damages for investors between April 30, 2024, and March 19, 2026.
However, to answer the question in the title, this news may not really matter for the stock now. To me, Super Micro has already been one to avoid — not because of its capabilities, but because of its governance issues. Now, a complete overhaul of leadership looks like it may be the only way out for the company.
