The Nasdaq-100 Index comprises 100 of the largest non-financial companies on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Established in January 1985 alongside the Nasdaq Financial-100 Index, which tracks the 100 largest financial stocks on Nasdaq, these indexes serve as benchmarks for financial instruments like options, futures, and funds.
The Nasdaq-100 undergoes an annual reconstitution each December, aligned with the quadruple witching expiration on Friday of the quarter.
Super Micro Computer stock plunged 62% in the last six months. Reportedly, the AI server company has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/24/12/42506690/super-micro-seeks-to-raise-capital-via-equity-and-debt" rel="noreferrer noopener">enlisted Evercore to</a> assist in raising capital.
The effort aims to avoid a potential delisting after the company missed its August deadline for filing its annual financial report while reviewing internal financial controls.
The company is considering private investment in public equity (PIPE) funding, which could attract interest from private equity firms. While PIPE funding provides a faster capital-raising method, it dilutes existing shareholders&#8217; equity.
Concerns still need to be made about the profitability of Super Micro&#8217;s AI-optimized servers due to reliance on high-end chips from suppliers like Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
Super Micro&#8217;s auditor, Ernst &amp; Young, resigned in October over governance concerns. This led to a sharp decline in stock value and prompted an independent committee to investigate. By December, the committee found no evidence of misconduct, spurring a 30% rise in Super Micro&#8217;s stock.
The company appointed BDO USA as its new auditor to address delisting risks, submitted a compliance plan to Nasdaq, and began searching for a new finance chief based on the committee&#8217;s recommendations.
Super Micro, which faced scrutiny from a Hindenburg Research report and a U.S. Department of Justice probe, has until February 25 to file its delayed financial reports.
Super Micro Computer missed the revenue estimates for the last two quarters and the adjusted EPS consensus for the last quarter.
In July 2024, Super Micro Computer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39847680/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-computer-shares-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">became a component</a> of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted Index, replacing Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>).
At that time, CEO Charles Liang highlighted Super Micro&#8217;s eco-friendly initiatives and AI growth opportunities during an interview with CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer.
Liang showcased the potential of their &#8220;liquid cooling&#8221; and &#8220;green computer&#8221; technologies to cut carbon emissions and reduce customer expenses.
He also shared his confidence in the transformative power of AI, predicting it could have a more significant impact than the industrial revolution.
The Nasdaq-100 Index underpins the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which seeks to deliver investment results mirroring the index&#8217;s performance before expenses.
Price Action: SMCI stock closed lower by 8.26% to $33.44 on Monday.

Super Micro Drops Below 50-Day Average, Faces Nasdaq 100 Removal Just Months After Entry

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) stock is trading lower on Monday. The company is expected to be removed from the Nasdaq 100 Index later this month. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42506977">need to know</a>.
What To Know: Super Micro is one of three companies set to be booted from the Nasdaq 100 Index on Dec. 23 as part of the index&#8217;s annual changes.
The changes will take effect before the market opens on Dec. 23. The other companies set to be removed from the index, include Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) and Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>). 
The Nasdaq is set to add Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) and Axon Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>) to the index.
What Else: Super Micro has faced delays in filing its earnings for the 2024 fiscal year as well as the first quarter of the 2025 fiscal year. The company originally cited multiple reasons for the delay, including the need to find a new auditor after Ernst &amp; Young, the company&#8217;s former auditor, resigned due to governance control issues, and the need to review its internal control systems.
Super Micro has since appointed BDO USA as its independent auditor. In addition, the company&#8217;s special committee review found no evidence of misconduct.
 Lastly, the company is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42506690">working</a> with Evercore to raise its capital. The company is considering multiple options in order to achieve this, such as, a private investment in public equity.

What's Going On With Super Micro Computer Shares Monday?

U.S. stock futures were trading higher on Monday in premarket hours after the tech-heavy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495649/microstrategy-palantir-axon-added-to-nasdaq-100-super-micro-computer-moderna-illumina-exit-the-index">Nasdaq 100 index</a> extended its relentless climb last week, setting new record highs and nearing the 22,000-point milestone. The futures of all four major indices were trading higher.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury notes yielded 4.38% and 4.23%, respectively. The Federal Reserve&#8217;s upcoming meeting this week is highly anticipated by market observers.
The Federal Open Market Committee is widely expected to announce another interest rate reduction at the conclusion of their meeting on Wednesday. The probability of a further 25 basis point rate cut in December rose to 97.1% versus 61.9% a month ago, according to <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool</a>.
If the Fed cuts rates, it would be the third consecutive cut, bringing the federal funds rate down from its current level of 4.50% to 4.75%. Following the meeting, Chairman Jerome Powell&#8216;s remarks will be closely scrutinized by market participants.
Investors will receive another critical economic data point on Friday with the release of the November personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation index. This release follows other inflation indicators that suggest price increases accelerated in November.
Prior to that, GDP revisions on Thursday will reveal whether the economy maintained the previously estimated 2.8% growth rate for the third quarter.

Inflation data released during the week raised some red flags. Consumer inflation rose 2.7% year-over-year in November, in line with expectations, but producer inflation jumped to 3% year-over-year, exceeding estimates of 2.6%. This marked the sharpest increase since February 2023, raising concerns about potential cost pass-throughs to consumers.

Insights From Analysts
Talking about the possibility of a &#8220;Santa Rally,&#8221; by the end of December the chief market strategist at Carson Group, Ryan Detrick shared a chart titled &#8216;Santa Comes Later In December&#8217; showing how the market has picked up after Dec. 16, on an average from 1950 to 2023.
He said, &#8220;Weak breadth, inflation heating up, bears saying they are sorry, etc, have all been listed as reasons for the recent weakness. Or maybe it is perfectly normal for stocks not to do much the first half of December, before an end-of-year rally?&#8221;

He further made a case for a year-end rally in another X post. He shared a chart that compared high-yield bonds with U.S. Treasury bonds and high-beta stocks with low volatility stocks. &#8220;High yield and high beta are outperforming bonds and low volatility,&#8221; he said.

Tom Lee, the managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, hosted a webinar outlining his 2025 outlook. According to him, the S&amp;P 500 will have a better first half of the year getting up to 7,000, followed by a weaker second half of the year with us ultimately ending at 6,600
&#8220;To us, the downside risks are: DOGE too effective and GDP falls on spending cuts, (if) tariffs are actually implemented and GDP impacted,&#8221; Lee said.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), and Axon Enterprise Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>).
This change will take effect before the market opens on Dec. 23, 2024.
What Happened:&nbsp;Nasdaq&nbsp;announced on Saturday the results of its&nbsp;annual reconstitution of the Nasdaq-100&nbsp;Index.
The Nasdaq-100 Index, a benchmark for non-financial companies on the Nasdaq, was launched in January 1985. It serves as a basis for financial products like&nbsp;options, futures, and funds.
The&nbsp;annual reconstitution aligns&nbsp;with the quadruple witch expiration&nbsp;Friday of the quarter, a strategic timing for the index.

As a result of this reconstitution,&nbsp;three companies will be removed&nbsp;from the index:&nbsp;Illumina, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>),&nbsp;Super Micro Computer, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>), and&nbsp;Moderna, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>).
The Nasdaq-100 Index is integral to the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which seeks to mirror the index&#8217;s performance. Options, futures, and structured products based on the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Invesco QQQ Trust are traded on various exchanges.
Why It Matters: The inclusion of&nbsp;MicroStrategy&nbsp;in the Nasdaq-100 could significantly boost its visibility and attract fresh inflows from major ETFs like QQQ.
Analysts at Bernstein have suggested that this move, combined with MicroStrategy&#8217;s aggressive&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42433049/microstrategy-nasdaq-100-inclusion-on-the-horizon-could-spell-59-upside-says-bernstein">Bitcoin acquisition strategy</a>, could lead to a 59% upside for the company, with a target price of $600.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Palantir&nbsp;is positioned to become &#8220;the next Oracle&#8221; in 2025, according to Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives. The company&#8217;s AI platform is seen as a transformative force in enterprise operations, with significant results already demonstrated through its Warp Speed manufacturing operating system.
This development could further enhance Palantir&#8217;s standing in both government and commercial sectors, as highlighted in Ives&#8217;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42453057/palantir-positioned-to-become-the-next-oracle-in-2025-says-dan-ives-messi-of-ai-set-for-breakout-year">annual sector outlook</a>.
On the other hand,&nbsp;Super Micro Computer&nbsp;finds itself removed from the index, despite benefiting from the surging demand for AI infrastructure. The company faced challenges due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42445956/smci-teeters-on-edge-of-nasdaq-100-is-friday-d-day-for-super-micro">recent auditing scandal</a>, which significantly impacted its market capitalization.

The semiconductor giant's growth narrative is now turbocharged by a massive artificial intelligence (AI) opportunity, with analysts projecting a multibillion-dollar windfall in the years ahead.
The stock&#8217;s surge catapulted Broadcom into the exclusive trillion-dollar market cap club, placing it as the eighth-largest publicly traded company, just behind Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Analysts Love Broadcom</h3>
Bank of America&#8217;s analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on Broadcom following the quarterly report, boosting the 12-month price target from $215 to $250 and hinting at a potential 15% upside from current levels.
Arya&#8217;s optimism stems from three main drivers:
<ol>
<li>AI&#8217;s Expanding Footprint: Broadcom&#8217;s custom AI chips (ASICs) now serve five major customers, up from three previously. The company's AI-related revenue could soar to a served available market of $60–$90 billion by 2027—up from an estimated $15–$20 billion in 2023.</li>
<li>Apple's Steady Demand: Broadcom is expected to maintain its strong relationship with Apple, despite prior concerns about declining content orders.</li>
<li>Robust Earnings Growth: Analysts forecast a 15% sales growth and a 20% adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) growth trajectory through 2026, underpinned by Broadcom&#8217;s diversified portfolio spanning silicon and infrastructure software.</li>
</ol>
"Broadcom's AI-driven growth potential and diversified base position it as one of the best opportunities in the chip sector," Arya said in a note, justifying their upward revision of earnings per share in fiscal year 2025 and 2026 by 5% and 3%, respectively.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Axon Enterprise's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Axon Enterprise's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.98%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
