Smart Money Is Betting Big In SMCI Options

U.S. stock futures advanced on Monday following a tumultuous week which included the Federal Reserve&#8217;s hawkish rate cut on Wednesday and a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42627563/wall-street-rallies-as-soft-inflation-data-fuels-dip-buying-bonds-rebound-travel-stocks-soar-whats-driving-markets-friday">Triple Witching</a>&#8221; hour session on Friday. Two out of the four major index futures were trading higher in premarket trade.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury yields stood at 4.53% and 4.32%, respectively. The probability of having no change in the interest rates for the upcoming Jan. 31, 2025 decision was at 91.4%, according <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">to</a> CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch Tool.
Trading schedules will be adjusted for the Christmas holiday week. All markets will be closed on Wednesday. Trading hours will be shortened on Christmas Eve.

In premarket trading on Monday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.09% to $591.73 and the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose 0.23% to $519.04, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
Cues From The Last Session
Risk appetite returned to Wall Street on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/12/42627563/wall-street-rallies-as-soft-inflation-data-fuels-dip-buying-bonds-rebound-travel-stocks-soar-whats-driving-markets-friday">Friday</a>, giving investors some relief. November&#8217;s inflation data came in softer than expected, offering a glimmer of hope that the Federal Reserve may ease its aggressive monetary tightening.
The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index, the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, rose 2.4% year-over-year, below the anticipated 2.5%. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also undershot expectations, climbing 2.8% instead of the projected 2.9%.
This unexpected cooling of inflation sparked a jubilant rally across all major indices. The S&amp;P 500 surged 1.09%, with every sector contributing to the gains. Investors cheered the reprieve from persistent inflationary pressures.
The real estate sector led the charge, experiencing a sharp rebound after being particularly hard-hit by the Fed&#8217;s recent hawkish stance. Small-cap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000, also posted strong gains of 0.94%, buoyed by a significant recovery in regional banks.

Insights From Analysts
The number of advancers surpassed the decliners among the S&amp;P 500 index constituents on Friday after a 14-day streak of negative market breadth. Ryan Detrick, the global market strategist at Carson Research highlighted how the markets have performed after previous long streaks ended.

According to the data shared by him, over the past four decades, there have been only five other instances where the S&amp;P 500 experienced a period of ten or more consecutive days of negative breadth. Additionally, the index was higher by an average of 17.9% a year later after all five times.

Along with this, the market breadth turned positive with 89% of the stocks rising on Friday as compared to only 4% on Wednesday. This divergence also led the index to be higher a year later by at least 92.3% of the time since 1985.

According to Gary Alexander at Navellier &amp; Associates, &#8220;The S&amp;P 500 delivers an average of zero gains in the first half of December (and 0.3% through December 15 this year) but averages 1.35% in the second half, the best half-month of the 24 half-months each year.&#8221;
&#8220;Core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure, excluding food and energy), the key inflation metric for the Fed, came in at 0.1% for November, below forecast and the lowest since June. This caught the market off guard, in a good way, as the rhetoric from Jerome Powell regarding sticky inflation had led the market to expect a surprise in the other direction,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates.
&#8220;The traditional Santa Rally is the last 5 trading days of the year and the first 2 of the New Year. It may still be in the cards,&#8221; he added.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Super Micro Computer

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/european-commission" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The European Commission</a> granted unconditional approval Thursday for Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) to acquire Run:ai Labs Ltd, an Israel-based provider of GPU orchestration software.
The decision under the EU Merger Regulation concluded the acquisition would not raise competition concerns within the European Economic Area.
Nvidia, a U.S.-based leader in GPU technology for data centers, gaming and automotive applications, aims to integrate Run: ai&#8217;s software into its ecosystem. Run:ai specializes in software that helps organizations optimize and manage their artificial intelligence compute workloads across various environments, including on-premises and cloud platforms.
The commission&#8217;s investigation focused on whether the merger could harm competition in two critical markets: discrete GPUs for data centers and GPU orchestration software.
Although Nvidia holds a dominant position in the global market for data center GPUs, the inquiry determined the company lacks the technical ability and motivation to limit compatibility between its GPUs and competing software solutions. Similarly, Run:ai does not command a significant market share in GPU orchestration software, ensuring continued access to alternative providers for customers.
Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) and Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) server products embedded Nvidia AI chips.
Some customers replicated serial numbers of the servers containing Nvidia chips purchased from Super Micro and attached them to other servers.
Also, smugglers altered the serial numbers in the server operating system.
Dell and Super Micro said they complied with the regulatory norms.
U.S. Big Tech giants have drawn intense regulatory scrutiny for allegedly trying to stifle fair competition by exploiting their influence.
In 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41685490/nvidias-run-ai-acquisition-draws-european-regulatory-scrutiny-on-competition-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. regulatory bodies</a>, including the Department of Justice&#8217;s antitrust division, reviewed Nvidia&#8217;s potential dominance within the AI chip sector. The Federal Trade Commission was also examining investments by the Big Tech giants.
Nvidia&#8217;s plans to purchase British chip designer Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) succumbed to global regulatory opposition. Other significant acquisitions that failed to win regulatory approval included Broadcom Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) plans to acquire Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>).
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Commerce urged Nvidia&nbsp;to investigate how the company&#8217;s products reached China by flouting the semiconductor embargo, Reuters reported, citing The Information.
The Biden Administration slapped semiconductor sanctions on China by restricting its access to advanced artificial intelligence technology chips and equipment meant to produce the chips.
Nvidia urged leading distributors like Super Micro Computer and Dell to conduct spot checks of Southeast Asian customers.
Nvidia stock surged over 171% year-to-date. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTEC#NYSE">FTEC</a>).

Nvidia Secures EU Approval For Run:ai Deal, US Probes China Export Breach

Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are trading 1.94% lower at $31.58 during Thursday&#8217;s session and 13% lower over the last five trailing sessions. The stock may face headwinds as the Federal Reserve on Wednesday signaled a more cautious approach to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42563299/feds-powell-shocks-markets-its-a-new-phase-were-significantly-closer-to-neutral">rate cuts</a>.
What To Know: The Fed's decision to slow its pace of monetary easing leaves the federal funds rate at 4.25%-4.5%, prolonging elevated borrowing costs. 
For Super Micro Computer, whose growth depends on substantial capital investments in infrastructure and AI-driven data center technology, the shift could potentially restrain customer spending on large-scale projects.

Adding to the challenges, recent industry developments signal a softer outlook for the technology sector. Micron Technology&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42594359/micron-stock-is-moving-lower-thursday-whats-driving-the-action">weaker-than-expected guidance</a> and indications of slowing demand in consumer and enterprise markets cast doubt on near-term growth trajectories for cloud and data center solutions providers, including Super Micro Computer.
Super Micro has been a standout performer in the AI and high-performance computing space, capitalizing on its innovative hardware offerings. However, its exposure to macroeconomic risks and potential delays in client purchasing cycles could weigh on investor sentiment. 
With inflation still above target and global uncertainties persisting, Super Micro faces a dual challenge of navigating economic caution and sustaining its growth momentum in a volatile market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SMCI Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Super Micro Computer&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SMCI has a 52-week high of $122.90 and a 52-week low of $17.25.

The Information: 'U.S. Prompts Nvidia, Supermicro Probe Into How Chips Ended Up in China'

Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares fell 4.64% to $32.23 Wednesday following the Federal Reserve's December meeting.
Growth-focused companies like SMCI are particularly sensitive to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42563299/feds-powell-shocks-markets-its-a-new-phase-were-significantly-closer-to-neutral">interest rate changes</a>, as higher borrowing costs can dampen investment in technology infrastructure.
What To Know: The Fed lowered the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 4.25%-4.5%, marking its third consecutive cut. However, the updated economic projections signaled a slower pace of rate reductions in 2025, with only two additional cuts expected. The Fed also raised its inflation forecast, projecting core PCE inflation at 2.5% in 2025, up from 2.2% in September.
The prospect of sustained higher rates adds pressure on companies like SMCI, with customers who often rely on favorable financing conditions for large-scale IT projects. Additionally, higher inflation could squeeze margins as operating costs rise.
The broader tech sector also faced selling pressure, amplifying SMCI's decline. The company's performance remains tied to macroeconomic trends, with investors reassessing growth prospects amid a slower-than-expected path to monetary easing.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SMCI Stock</h1>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Super Micro Computer — be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Super Micro Computer, which is trading at $32.23 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 3.1 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, SMCI has a 52-week high of $122.90 and a 52-week low of $17.25.

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) stock gained 1.30% in premarket trading on Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
This comes after a challenging period marked by SMCI&#8217;s removal from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42520765/super-micro-drops-below-50-day-average-faces-nasdaq-100-removal-just-months-after-entry">Nasdaq-100 Index</a>. This removal, scheduled for Dec. 23, has been announced just months after the company had been added to the index.
The Nasdaq-100 Index includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies on the Nasdaq stock market.

The removal was prompted by the stock trading below its 50-day moving average, a key indicator of its performance.

In contrast, companies such as Palantir Technologies Inc., MicroStrategy Inc., and Axon Enterprise Inc. were added to the index, replacing those removed.
Price Action: SMCI stock closed at $33.80 on Tuesday, ending 1.1% up for the day. Year-to-date, the stock is up 18.4%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

In the current session, the stock is trading at $34.13, after a 2.06% spike. Over the past month, Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) stock increased by 18.29%, and in the past year, by 10.70%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>How Does Super Micro Computer P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Super Micro Computer has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 38.57 of the Technology Hardware, Storage &amp; Peripherals industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

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.

The capital raise marks the company&#8217;s attempts to prevent a potential delisting after failing to file its annual financial report by the August deadline as it evaluated internal controls over&nbsp;financial reporting.
According to the report, Super Micro is weighing a potential private investment in public equity (PIPE) funding to generate interest from private equity firms as well.
PIPE funding is a relatively faster way for companies to raise capital that ends up diluting equity for existing shareholders.
