Is Super Micro Computer a Millionaire-Maker Stock?
Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) has been through an interesting 2024. It started the year as one of the hottest stocks to own, tripling its share price in less than three months. Then, it slowly declined after investors took profits, and Supermicro (as the company is often called) reported a bad earnings report. To make matters worse, Hindenburg Research, a famed short-selling firm, reported that Supermicro was involved in accounting fraud, triggering a Department of Justice (DOJ) probe into the claims.
That's quite the roller-coaster ride for Supermicro investors, and it has left the stock significantly down from its all-time high. So, could this be a million-dollar investing idea? After all, Supermicro's business is booming.
Super Micro Computer's rise is tied to the incredible demand for artificial intelligence (AI) computing power. Supermicro makes components for servers and also sells complete server systems. The company's products are set apart from the competition by their superior cooling technology: Its most efficient servers are liquid-cooled, which eliminates the need to place these servers in large rooms to be cooled by expensive air conditioning.
