Market Climbs, SMCI Auditors Allege Mischief on Mischief Night | Live Stock
Afternoon traders. Happy Wednesday, October 30th. The market is pulling some mischief on the day before Halloween, known as mischief night in the United States. Indexes are climbing, but some earnings responses are severe. $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ and $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ are due to report after the market closes.
My name is Kevin Travers; here is the news about animal spirits moving markets today.
$Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)$ fell 30% after the firm said Wednesday that its accounting contractor - Earnest and Young - resigned with fears that SMCI was not upholding ethical accounting and reporting practices, about a week before the next expected earnings date. The firm delayed its reporting in August and has still not reported its full-year results for a fiscal year that ended in June after running into accounting issues. It was the largest decliner on the S&P 500.
$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ fell 9% Wednesday, the lowest on the Nasdaq 100 hind SMCI after the chipmaker's Tuesday release of fourth-quarter revenue outlook missed analysts' estimates. Its Q3 results, otherwise mostly met or beat analyst estimates, were the forward-looking statements that hurt.
$Visa (V.US)$ climbed 3%- the highest on the Dow after its earnings per share and revenue exceeded analysts' estimates. Revenue rose 12% year over year at the credit giant.

Coach Donnie : $Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)$ I’m going back in at $30-$32 on SMCI. Everyone will have get their senses back tomorrow and the stock will go back up. One percenters don’t let a good storm go to waste so they are exploiting the accountant resigning. One percenters are flipping it. In my opinion.
Congratulations to those that bought. I bought a large chunk at $32.xx. It’s a short for me. I’ll probably sell at $38-$45 for a quick 30%plus profit for some FCF.
My trailing stop loss hit at $37.50. So I made $5/share on 5,000 shares for a $25k profit. If it drops to $32 again I’ll rebuy. I have done this with SMCI before the split. I learned from Richard’s play with Tesla to find chaos, execute quickly and make a quick profit. SMCI is a great company with a great products however their organizational skills internally with financials is a mess that can be exploited. SMCI doesn’t scare me because the prices has nothing to do with their products. It’s a great company that I believe will do well long term. Just my opinion. I’m just going to use it as a short for now but will go long at some point. Happy Hunting
Wall Street aliens are taking advantage of this dip in stock price SMCI.. Just my opinion. Be greedy when others are fearful. Be fearful when others are greedy.. Warren Buffett
Super Micro Computer stock (SMCI) cratered Wednesday morning, falling over 30% after a filing revealed accounting firm Ernst & Young (EY) has resigned from its relationship with the tech company.
In the resignation letter, EY said: “We are resigning due to information that has recently come to our attention which has led us to no longer be able to rely on management's and the Audit Committee’s representations and to be unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management, and after concluding we can no longer provide the Audit Services in accordance with applicable law or professional obligations.”
Coach Donnie Coach Donnie : SMCI (Super Micro Computer) is considered a good investment by some analysts, thanks to its first-mover advantage in the design of GPU-based compute systems and liquid-cooled rack-level solutions. This puts it in a strong position to benefit from growing investments in AI infrastructure. In fact, Needham forecasts a revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 55% from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2026 ¹.
Here are some key points to consider:
- *Analyst Ratings*: The average analyst target price for SMCI stock is $783.67, representing a potential upside of over 74%.
- *Growth Potential*: Argus Research is even more bullish, with a Buy rating and $1,000 price target, citing SMCI's positioning within transformational AI technology ¹.
- *Volatility*: SMCI's stock price has been volatile, with a 52-week low of $22.66 and a 52-week high of $122.90 ².
- *Industry Rank*: SMCI's industry, Computer-Storage Devices, ranks in the top 25% of Zacks Ranked Industries ².
Overall, while SMCI appears promising, it's essential to weigh the risks and potential rewards before making an investment decision.
