Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of December 3, 2024 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI/news">cleared a major hurdle</a>, with its Special Committee's investigation finding "no evidence of misconduct/fraud" involving its management or board. 
However, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee remains cautious, stating that "visibility into compliance&#8221; remains low. The analyst maintains an Underweight rating on the stock.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI Investigation &#8211; No Fraud But Lapses Exist</h2>
The investigation, carried out by Super Micro's Special Committee with support from legal and forensic experts, addressed four critical areas: 
<ol>
<li>rehiring practices</li>
<li>sales and revenue recognition</li>
<li>export controls</li>
<li>related-party disclosures</li>
</ol>
The report concluded that:
<ul>
<li>The rehiring of former employees was based on "reasonable business judgment" but showed "lapses around guardrail practices."</li>
<li>Sales and revenue recognition practices were "fair."</li>
<li>There was "no evidence that Super Micro tried to circumvent export control regulations/restrictions."</li>
<li>Related-party transactions were either previously disclosed or would be disclosed shortly.</li>
</ul>
The findings may have put concerns of outright wrongdoing to rest, but the Committee didn't shy away from recommending governance changes to shore up weaknesses.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Governance Overhaul At SMCI: CFO, Compliance Team In Focus</h2>
Super Micro's board has accepted the committee's recommendations, including appointing a new CFO to replace David Weigand, who will stay on until his successor is named. Kenneth Cheung, formerly VP of Finance, has stepped into the newly created role of chief accounting officer. Additional hires include a chief compliance officer and a general counsel.
The company has also committed to "expand and enhance its training programs related to financial controls and compliance processes" while improving governance oversight.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">JPMorgan Flags Two Key Concerns</h2>
Despite these actions, Chatterjee advises investors to remain cautious. He pointed to two key risks:
<ol>
<li>Whether Super Micro's independent auditor, BDO, will "accept the findings of the Special Committee or decide to undertake their own independent review."</li>
<li>Whether Nasdaq will extend the time for Super Micro to regain compliance with listing requirements. The company has already outlined its intention to complete its 10-K and 10-Q filings and return to compliance within the discretionary period available.</li>
</ol>
For Chatterjee, the company's proactive steps are encouraging, but the road ahead is far from certain. The focus now shifts to execution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI: Cleared But Under The Microscope</h2>
Super Micro's announcement may calm immediate fears, but JPMorgan's concerns over "visibility into compliance" suggest that the company is far from out of the woods. 
While investors will welcome the findings of "no evidence of misconduct/fraud," execution of governance reforms and navigating Nasdaq compliance deadlines will determine whether the stock can regain its footing.
SMCI Price Action: SMCI stock closed Monday&#8217;s trading day at $42.00, up 28.68% on the news.

Insights From Analysts: Chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, Mark Haefele termed the decade so far as the &#8220;Roaring 20s,&#8221; marked by high economic growth, strong market returns, and improving productivity.
In his ‘<a href="https://www.ubs.com/global/en/wealthmanagement/insights/chief-investment-office/roaring-20s-the-next-stage.html#review">UBS Year Ahead 2025 Report</a>‘ he said "After strong years for equities in 2023 and 2024, we see further upside in 2025. We expect the S&amp;P 500 to reach 6,600 by the end of 2025, around 10% higher than today&#8217;s levels."
"We expect central banks to cut interest rates further in the year ahead, reducing cash returns," Haefele added.
Highlighting his economic outlook he said, "In our base case, we expect sustained economic growth in the U.S., supported by healthy consumption, loose fiscal policy, and lower interest rates. Tariff threats are a headwind for Asia and Europe. If imposed, they could be partially offset by reactive stimulus measures in China."
Chief market strategist at Carson Group LLC, Ryan Detrick highlighted that &#8220;With a new high in December, we&#8217;ve seen new highs in 10 out of 12 months this year (April and August didn&#8217;t).&#8221;

What Happened: The review was initiated in response to allegations of misconduct. Following the report, the company shares popped over 30% on Monday and gained 7% during Tuesday&#8217;s premarket session.
Despite acknowledging "modest lapses," JPMorgan analysts have highlighted two crucial aspects to watch in the aftermath of the review. The first is whether Super Micro&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/10/41625460/super-micro-computer-stock-dives-as-auditor-resigns-whats-going-on">newly appointed independent auditors,</a> BDO, will accept the committee&#8217;s findings.
The server manufacturer had brought BDO on board in mid-November due to consistent delays in submitting its 2024 year-end report to the SEC, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/smci-jpmorgan-says-watch-these-two-points-after-special-committee-review-3750232">Investing</a>.com reported.

The second aspect emphasized by JPMorgan is whether Nasdaq will grant Super Micro&#8217;s request for an extension to regain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42082542/supermicro-computer-shares-soar-32-as-it-avoids-nasdaq-delisting-but-analysts-are-not-convinced-heres-whats-coming-next-for-smci">compliance with listing rules.</a> The company had previously announced in November its plan to file its 2024 financials.
The independent committee&#8217;s recommendations included replacing the Chief Financial Officer, appointing a Chief Accounting Officer and a Compliance Officer, and bolstering its legal department and compliance-related training.
Why It Matters: Despite a substantial dip from their annual highs due to repeated delays in filing annual reports and allegations of accounting malpractice<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/short-ideas/24/08/40579899/super-micro-computer-stock-falls-on-short-report-hindenburg-says-company-has-accounting"> by short-seller Hindenburg Research</a>, Super Micro shares have seen an increase of about 47% in 2024.
The company, a provider of servers for advanced AI programs, has reaped the benefits of its exposure to the rapidly expanding artificial industry.

XPeng, NovoCure, Merus, Gap And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Monday

Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company announced the completion of its review by an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42266576/supermicro-announces-completion-of-review-by-independent-special-committee">independent special committee</a>. 
What Happened: Super Micro announced that the independent Special Committee formed by the company&#8217;s board has completed its review. The special committee review came after the company's independent auditor resigned at the end of October over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SMCI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">governance and transparency concerns</a>.
Super Micro said the committee determined that the resignation of the company&#8217;s former auditor and concerns raised in the resignation letter were &#8220;not supported by the facts examined in the review.&#8221;
Super Micro announced at the beginning of November that the special committee&#8217;s preliminary investigation found no evidence of fraud or misconduct on the part of management of the company&#8217;s board. Super Micro announced Monday that the committee&#8217;s final findings support the initial findings. 
The special committee was comprised of Susie Giordano, an independent member of Super Micro&#8217;s board. The committee recommended the following measures after completing the investigation: a new CFO, a new chief accounting officer, the appointment of a chief compliance officer, an expansion of the legal department, an improvement of training and guardrail monitoring and review.

Super Micro further announced that it has adopted all of the special committee recommendations. The company has started searching for a new CFO and has accelerated its search for a chief compliance officer and for a general counsel. Super Micro also said it appointed Kenneth Cheung to chief accounting officer. 
Super Micro believes it will be able to file both its annual report for the fiscal year ended June, 30 2024 and its quarterly report for the period ended Sept. 30, 2024  within the discretionary period that can be granted by the Nasdaq in response to the compliance plan the company recently submitted. 
Super Micro noted that it does not expect to restate any of its quarterly reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, or for any other prior fiscal years.
SMCI Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/smci">Super Micro shares</a> were up 12.4% at $36.67 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jim Cramer: Reddit Is 'Fabulous,' Dow Is A 'Tough' One

Shares of&nbsp;Super Micro Computer Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) are showing signs of recovery after a significant drop earlier this week. The stock saw a 2.14% increase in pre-market trading on Wednesday, following a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42207128/smci-drops-10-after-repaying-bank-loans-and-terminating-agreements"> steep 10.4% decline</a> on Tuesday.
What Happened:&nbsp;SMCI announced the termination of two major loan agreements, which led to the initial drop in stock value.&nbsp;The company disclosed in an SEC filing&nbsp;that it had prepaid and&nbsp;ended its loan agreements with&nbsp;Cathay Bank&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bank of America N.A.&nbsp;on Nov. 20. This move is part of the company&#8217;s strategy to tackle ongoing challenges related to&nbsp;Nasdaq listing requirements and delayed&nbsp;financial reporting.

The company, known for its AI systems that power Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips, has been on a rollercoaster ride. Despite these recent challenges, SMCI has experienced a notable rally, with shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42166890/smci-surges-65-in-a-week-but-is-volatility-the-new-normal">surging 65% in a week</a>.
