Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Common Stock

Super Micro Computer Inc

Helix, a decentralized exchange built on Injective (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/inj/usd">INJ</a>), has launched an AI Index Perpetual Market, a product that allows investors to gain on-chain exposure to both AI-focused crypto tokens <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-artificial-intelligence-stocks">and traditional equities.</a>
This launch marks a significant step in bringing traditional financial instruments into the decentralized finance (DeFi) space by offering exposure to a curated selection of ten AI tokens and six AI equities, such as NVIDIA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
The Helix AI Index futures market is designed to help investors track portfolio performance in a sector that is blending both tech and crypto. 
The AI index ensures that no single asset dominates, and by diversifying between both crypto tokens and traditional equities, the risk of poor performance from any one asset is reduced. 
Real-time updates and historical data also enables investors to more accurately track trends and inform their investment decisions.
Meredith Pitkoff, CEO and Co-founder of Stork Labs said, &#8220;Products like the Helix AI Index are what decentralized finance was conceived for," adding that, "Collaborating on this index is also our first foray in creating a product that combines equity and crypto markets together into one aggregate index.&#8221;
The Stork Oracle powers the Helix AI Index, which is adjusted on a monthly basis to reflect current market positions. 
Stork initially determines the index's value from data gathered from centralized market's crypto tokens, then assigns the price based on each asset's market capitalization. 
The index's weights will then automatically rebalance based on real-time market dynamics.

Speaking with Benzinga, Injective CEO Eric Chen said the Helix AI Index shows "what Helix is built to do—democratize access to sophisticated financial instruments." 
He also stated that this launch enables "borderless, permissionless access for investors" to traditional equities for the first time.
When asked about the challenges of institutional adoption of on-chain products, he responded that &#8220;the evolving political and regulatory landscape is creating new opportunities for institutions to engage with on-chain assets." 
He also emphasized the need for more transparent and globally accessible financial products, adding that "platforms like Helix will be instrumental in bridging the gap between legacy finance and the next generation of digital markets."
Chen also commented on the potential for decentralized perpetual markets to compete with traditional financial instruments. 
He stated that liquidity fragmentation is one of DeFi&#8217;s biggest hurdles, and that decentralized markets need to "evolve toward more shared liquidity models, enabling deeper markets and more efficient trading." 
He added that, "Injective is poised to lead—by offering seamless cross-chain liquidity and interoperability.&#8221; 
This has been helped by Injective's native EVM integration, allowing EVM developers to tap into the shared liquidity model that exists within the Injective network.
Helix has witnessed tremendous growth in 2024, and is now consistently ranked as one of the largest perpetual DEXs on the market, with an average of $2 billion in volume across 100 million trades every month.
The listed tokens and equities will launch with the following weights:&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">DeepSeek Disrupts The AI Game</h2>
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, backed by hedge fund mogul Liang Wenfeng, sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley with its new AI model, DeepSeek R1. 
DeepSeek claims it trained its model with far fewer Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips than U.S. rivals like OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>). If true, this could upend the AI hardware market—and Super Micro is in the direct line of fire.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Brutal 2024 &amp; Nasdaq Deadline Looms</h2>
Super Micro's stock has been in freefall since mid-2024, and the latest AI shake-up is just adding to the pain. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42999983/jim-cramer-says-smci-stock-is-a-sell-amid-accounting-irregularities-super-micro-computer-stock-has-fallen-66-in-6-monthsheres-what-technical-analysis-shows">Accounting delays</a>, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42445956/smci-teeters-on-edge-of-nasdaq-100-is-friday-d-day-for-super-micro">Nasdaq 100 ejection</a>, and a rapidly evolving AI landscape have kept the stock from regaining its highs. 
With a looming Feb. 25 deadline to meet Nasdaq's listing standards, SMCI needs a lifeline—fast.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SMCI Stock&#8217;s Technical Signals: Strongly Bearish</h2>
The broader bearish sentiment, is validated by technical indicators flashing bearish signs as well. 
SMCI stock's eight-day, 20-day, and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs), all suggest bearish sentiment, while the 200-day SMA and the negative Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) hint at further downside.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 41.29—hovering near neutral territory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h2>
Super Micro faces the challenge of demonstrating steady AI server demand amid DeepSeek's advancements. As U.S. tech giants respond to China's AI progress, investors are watching SMCI's next steps closely.
Can the stock shake off its losing streak, or is there more pain ahead?

Shares of tech and AI stocks are trading lower amid AI competition concerns from China's DeepSeek.

Major technology stocks plunged in Monday&#8217;s pre-market trading after Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek unveiled an AI model that reportedly matches OpenAI&#8216;s ChatGPT capabilities at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43220297/nvidia-stock-slide-as-chinas-deepseek-ai-sparks-doubts-over-gpu-spending-frenzy-what-tech-experts-are-saying">fraction of the cost</a>, threatening U.S. technological leadership.
What Happened: NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) led the decline, falling 8.15% to $131.00 in pre-market trading. Other chip manufacturers followed, with Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) down 8.66%, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) dropping 8.03%, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) declining 7.66%.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shed 4.89%, while Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) lost 6.00%. Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) showed relatively smaller declines of 2.45% and 2.28%, respectively.
The selloff extended to major tech companies, with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) falling 3.30%, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) down 3.22%, and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) declining over 3%.
DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 language model, released as open-source last week, reportedly achieves performance comparable to OpenAI&#8217;s models while requiring significantly less computing power. The startup claims to use approximately 50,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, raising questions about the necessity of massive GPU investments that have driven chip stocks&#8217; valuations.

Why It Matters: Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang called DeepSeek &#8220;a wake-up call for America&#8221; on social media platform X, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to accelerate innovation while strengthening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43220297/nvidia-stock-slide-as-chinas-deepseek-ai-sparks-doubts-over-gpu-spending-frenzy-what-tech-experts-are-saying">chip export controls</a>.

The development comes at a crucial time as markets await the Federal Reserve&#8217;s meeting this week and major earnings reports. DeepSeek&#8217;s breakthrough particularly threatens Nvidia&#8217;s market position, as the company&#8217;s chips have been considered essential for advanced AI development.
Adding to market pressure, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya highlighted that DeepSeek has achieved step-by-step reasoning without requiring massive supervised datasets, potentially marking a significant advancement in AI technology.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Super Micro Computer 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading higher Thursday after the prominent short-selling firm Hindenburg Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43022221/smci-stock-gains-over-3-in-thursday-pre-market-after-short-seller-who-alleged-accounting-manipulation-shuts-shop-nikola-block-and-carvana-also-in-focus">announced its closure</a>.
What To Know: Hindenburg, known for high-profile short reports, accused Super Micro Computer last year of accounting manipulation, sibling self-dealing, and sanctions evasion, triggering significant scrutiny of the company.
The firm, founded in 2017 by Nathan Anderson, gained attention for investigations targeting major companies, including Nikola Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLA#NASDAQ">NKLA</a>), India's Adani Group, and Jack Dorsey's Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>). Hindenburg's reports often caused steep stock price drops and legal challenges for its targets. For instance, its 2023 exposé on Adani Group led to a $100 billion market value loss, while its 2020 report on Nikola resulted in the resignation of its founder Trevor Milton.
Hindenburg&#8217;s closure, attributed to personal reasons, potentially marks the end of an influential era in short selling. The firm&#8217;s final report accused Carvana Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>) of accounting irregularities, allegations the company denied. 
Anderson plans to document Hindenburg's investigative methods over the next six months, aiming to inspire future market watchdogs and analysts.
SMCI Price Action: Super Micro Computer shares were up 2.3% at $31.68 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on SMCI Options

Super Micro Computer shares are trading higher after Hindenburg Research, which previously issued a short report on the stock, announced it will close down.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, on Thursday, during pre-market hours, Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) saw a rise of 3.74%. At the same time, Jack Dorsey&#8216;s Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>), Carvana Co and automaker Nikola Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKLA#NASDAQ">NKLA</a>) also experienced gains of 1.09%, 1.50% and 0.81%, respectively. This uptick followed the announcement of the closure of <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Hindenburg Research</a>, a well-known short-selling firm.
Hindenburg Research, a prominent short-selling firm known for its high-profile investigations, announced its shutdown on Wednesday. Founder Nathan Anderson cited personal reasons for closing the firm, which had been active since 2017. The firm gained notoriety for its exposés on companies like the SMCI, Nikola and India&#8217;s Adani Group, leading to significant market impacts.
Last year, Hindenburg accused Super Micro Computer <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">of &#8220;accounting manipulation,&#8221; </a>sibling self-dealing and sanctions evasion in a short report issued Tuesday.
Hindenburg&#8217;s reports have resulted in nearly 100 civil and criminal charges against various executives and companies. One of its most notable investigations was a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43022017/indias-second-richest-mans-conglomerate-rattled-by-hindenburg-researchs-damning-report-in-2023-adds-over-5-9-billion-after-short-seller-shuts-shop#:~:text=Why%20It%20Matters%3A%20Hindenburg%20had,founder%20Adani%20for%20alleged%20fraud.">gainst the Adani Group in 2023, </a>which led to over $100 billion in market value loss and legal repercussions for founder Gautam Adani. The firm's allegations against Nikola Corp in 2020 resulted in a major stock price drop and led to the resignation of its founder, Trevor Milton.
In its final report, Hindenburg accused&nbsp;Carvana Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>)&nbsp;of accounting irregularities, though the&nbsp;company denied these claims. Anderson plans to document Hindenburg&#8217;s investigative methods over the next six months, aiming to inspire future market watchdogs.

Pre-Market Outlook

SMCI Stock Gains Over 3% In Thursday Pre-Market After Short Seller Who Alleged 'Accounting Manipulation' Shuts Shop: Nikola, Block And Carvana Also In Focus

Short-seller Hindenburg Research on Wednesday announced plans to disband the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/hindenburg-research">New York-based investment firm</a>.
&#8220;The plan has been to wind up after we finished the pipeline of ideas we were working on. And as of the last Ponzi cases we just completed and are sharing with regulators, that day is today,&#8221; Hindenburg founder Nate Anderson said in a blog <a href="https://hindenburgresearch.com/gratitude/">post</a>.
What To Know: Anderson founded Hindenburg Research in 2017. The first half of the letter published on Hindenburg&#8217;s site is a reflection on the success of the company and how it came to be. 
&#8220;Nearly 100 individuals have been charged civilly or criminally by regulators at least in part through our work, including billionaires and oligarchs. We shook some empires that we felt needed shaking,&#8221; Anderson said.

About halfway through, Anderson addresses the disbandment, but he said there is no particular reason why. Anderson noted that he felt like he had some things to prove to himself early on, but that he has &#8220;finally found some comfort&#8221; with himself. Anderson also suggested his professional life has taken a toll on his well-being, adding that the &#8220;intensity and focus&#8221; required for the role has come at a cost.
&#8220;Someone once told me that at a certain point a successful career becomes a selfish act,&#8221; he said. 
Anderson said his immediate focus is on finding opportunities for members of the Hindenburg team. Some will be starting their own research firms, while others are seeking different opportunities. 
Anderson also noted he plans to spend the next six months or so working on putting together materials to open-source Hindenburg&#8217;s research model and share how the firm conducted its research so that others may be inspired to do the same.
Hindenburg was the short-selling firm behind some major sell-offs in recent years including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-sellers/23/03/31474945/short-seller-that-sunk-second-richest-man-has-new-target-and-jack-dorsey-is-in-the-crosshairs">Adani Group</a> and Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>). Hindenburg has also targeted big names like Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEP#NASDAQ">IEP</a>), Roblox Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) and most recently, Carvana Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>).
