Benzinga Market Summary: Indexes Close Higher On Strength In Semis, Supermicro Falls On Reports Of Justice Department Probe, Oil Falls On Reports Of Potential Saudi Output

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) shares are falling Thursday following a report indicating the company is being probed by the Department of Justice following an August <a href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=568027&amp;action=edit">short report from Hindenburg Research.</a>
The Details: According to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/justice-department-probes-server-maker-super-micro-computer-2ca6a4d3?mod=latest_headlines">report</a>, the company is being probed by U.S. Department of Justice following Hindenburg&#8216;s report, published on Aug. 27, 2024. The short report included allegations made by former employee, Bob Luong, who also filed a whistleblower lawsuit in April against Super Micro and its CEO Charles Liang.&nbsp;
The DOJ probe is in the early-stages, and a prosecutor from the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco has contacted people connected to a Luong&#8217;s accusations of accounting violations, according to people familiar with the situation.&nbsp;

Luong claimed in his lawsuit that Super Micro had improperly recognized revenue from 2020 to 2022 and, in some cases, had booked revenue on sales that had not been completed. Luong also alleged the company re-hired employees who had been fired due to involvement with past accounting violations. Those violations resulted in Super Micro settling with the SEC in 2020 for $17.5 million, without admitting or denying the accusations.&nbsp;

The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio helps evaluate the capital structure and financial leverage of a company.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
By considering the Debt-to-Equity ratio, Super Micro Computer can be compared to its top 4 peers, leading to the following observations:
<ul>
<li>
Super Micro Computer is in a relatively stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers, as evidenced by its lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4.
