(Reuters) -Super Micro Computer’s shares fell nearly 5% on Friday after the artificial intelligence-optimized server maker reiterated weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.<\/p>\n
The company disclosed in a regulatory filing on Thursday that unresolved issues could “adversely affect” its ability to report results of operations in a timely and accurate manner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In its annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, Super Micro repeated similar statements from its May quarterly filing, adding that it was working to address the problems.<\/p>\n
Last year, the San Jose, California-based company missed an August deadline to file its annual financial report and Ernst & Young LLP resigned as its auditor in October, citing concerns about governance and transparency.<\/p>\n
Super Micro had filed its long-delayed annual report earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The company is set to lose over $1 billion from its market value of about $26 billion, if Friday’s losses hold.<\/p>\n
Super Micro trades at 16.28 times the estimates of its earnings for the next 12 months, compared with 13.12 times for Dell and 10.81 times for Hewlett Packard Enterprise.<\/p>\n
Among the 19 brokerages covering Super Micro, seven rate the stock “buy”, nine “hold” and three “sell”, with a median price target of $49, according to data compiled by LSEG.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, shares of rival Dell fell about 10% on Friday as high manufacturing costs for AI-driven servers and rising competition offset its bullish demand forecast for AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n
