Super Micro Soars After Filing On Time

📈 Super Micro stock jumped 20% after the AI server maker met Nasdaq’s deadline to file its delayed financials, easing investor fears of a potential delisting. The company reported a massive revenue surge, doubling sales to $14.99B in fiscal 2024.

🔍 Despite strong earnings, Super Micro admitted to “material weaknesses” in financial controls, citing IT issues, poor documentation, and staff oversight gaps. It pledged to strengthen its internal controls by hiring more accounting staff and upgrading IT systems.

⚠️ The company still faced risks, including potential litigation, credit downgrades, and reputational damage. While demand for AI-driven servers remained strong, past governance concerns and volatility continued to weigh on investor confidence.

TODAY’S TOP NEWS

BP Ditches Renewables, Doubles Down on Oil

💰 BP announced a major strategy shift, increasing annual oil and gas investment to $10B through 2027 while slashing renewable spending by over $5B per year. The company also aimed to cut capital expenditures to $13-$15B and offload $20B in assets.

🔥 CEO Murray Auchincloss framed the pivot as a push for higher returns, prioritizing cost efficiency and shareholder value over previous green commitments. Analysts viewed the move as a response to mounting investor pressure amid underperformance.

🌍 Sustainability advocates called the decision “shocking but not surprising,” as BP had already softened its climate goals. Reports suggested the company was set to abandon its ambitious renewable energy targets, cementing its return to fossil fuel dominance.
