SMCI: From Market Darling to AI’s Wildest Bet
Founded in 1993, $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ went from niche IT company to AI’s hottest stock, skyrocketing 10x in just one year—from $9 in March 2023 to $114 in March 2024. At one point, its stock moved in almost a straight line up, even leaving NVIDIA in the dust.
But in March 2024, the fairytale took a turn…
📉 Market Correction
The first hit? A valuation reality check—after an explosive rally, investors became more sensitive to growth expectations. Unlike chipmakers, the server industry has lower technical barriers, and competitors like HP and Dell weren’t going to sit back and watch.
💥 Accounting Scandal
Then came the real bombshell: audit resignations and financial red flags. Concerns over fraud and potential delisting threw the stock into chaos, making SMCI the ultimate battleground between bulls and bears.
💀 The Bear Case: No core moat, weak management, shady financials.
🚀 The Bull Case: Solid product tech, deep industry experience, and AI-driven demand.
From riding NVIDIA’s AI boom to becoming the most volatile AI stock of the year, SMCI’s future now hinges on Nasdaq’s review of its compliance plan.
Options Market Flashing Red Ahead of Feb 25 Filing Deadline
📉 Bearish signals are flashing, with options activity suggesting traders are bracing for a big move. Institutions once traded SMCI above $59, but a lack of buying below $56 hints that big money may have already exited—leaving the stock vulnerable to heavy selling pressure.
Two scenarios:
✅ If SMCI meets the deadline → A short-covering rally could send it flying.
❌ If there’s a delay → Expect a sharp pullback.
So, how are you playing SMCI? 🧐
