Super Micro Computer (SMC.US)
Shares of Super Micro Computer are gaining 32% today after the company appointed BDO USA as the new auditor and submitted to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with listing requirements following delayed financial reports.
The previous auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, resigned in October, citing concerns about transparency and corporate governance, which contributed to an over 80% decline in Super Micro's stock from the peak in March. By hiring BDO USA, the sixth-largest auditing firm with only one other client outside the S&P 500, the company intends to file overdue annual 10-K reports and quarterly 10-Q reports by February, pending approval from the Nasdaq exchange. Despite the U.S. Department of Justice investigation, some analysts remain optimistic, highlighting Super Micro's potential in the rapidly growing AI data center market.
C3.ai (AI.US)
C3.ai is gaining 22% to $32.08 after the company announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence for business customers on the Microsoft Azure platform.
