Super Micro Computer Stock Plummets Over 4% In Thursday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

October 31, 2024

Shares of Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:SMCI) took a hit, dropping 4.38%, following the resignation of its independent auditor, Ernst & Young.

What Happened: SMCI closed 32.68% lower at $33.07 on Wednesday and at the time of writing, SMCI was trading at $31.56 during pre-market hours on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro.

The company announced in a regulatory filing that EY had stepped down as its registered public accounting firm. The auditing firm, which had been engaged since March 2023 to review Super Micro’s financials for the fiscal year ending June, resigned before completing any reports on the company’s financials or internal controls.

Back in July, EY raised concerns about governance, transparency, and the completeness of communications, warning that the timely filing of Super Micro’s annual report was at risk. In response, Super Micro’s board established a special committee to investigate these issues, which submitted preliminary information to both the company and its auditor.

The resignation letter from Ernst & Young highlighted a lack of confidence in the integrity and ethical values of the company, questioning the board’s independence and the reliability of information from certain management members. Although Super Micro disagrees with the resignation, it plans to address the concerns raised and continue the investigation.
