Super Micro Announces Strong Revenue Guidance But Shares Drop 20% on Missed Q4 Earnings

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) provided an optimistic revenue outlook for the current quarter and announced a stock split, driven by increasing demand for its AI servers that support artificial intelligence applications. However, the company’s stock plunged more than 20% intra-day today on missed Q4 earnings.
