Investigation by DOJ Sends Super Micro Computer Shares Down 5%
The U.S. Department of Justice is conducting an investigation into Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:), as reported by the Wall Street Journal. This news has caused the AI server maker's shares to drop by about 5%.
Earlier this month, Super Micro Computer refuted claims made in a report by short-seller Hindenburg Research, stating that it contained "false or inaccurate statements" about the company.
Hindenburg had revealed a short position in Super Micro in August, alleging "accounting manipulation" at the company. They cited evidence of undisclosed related-party transactions and failure to comply with export controls, among other issues.
Super Micro is yet to respond to a request for comment from Multibagger.

Investors should closely monitor further developments in this situation, as it could potentially impact the company's future performance and stock value.
