On June 10, Super Micro Computer fell 12.29% in regular trading, trading at $35.63/share, with trading volume of $217 million. The steep decline was driven by the company's announcement of a $7 billion equity and equity-linked financing plan, sparking significant dilution concerns among investors.
The financing package consists of a $5 billion underwritten public offering — comprising $1.25 billion of common stock and $3.75 billion of depositary shares — with JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citi serving as lead bookrunners, plus a $2 billion at-the-market program expected to begin no earlier than Q3. Each depositary share represents a 1/20 interest in mandatory convertible preferred stock with a $1,000 per-share liquidation preference.
Net proceeds will fund component procurement for approximately $39 billion in AI server orders, with remaining funds potentially used for debt repayment and general corporate purposes. The massive equity issuance compounded broader tech sector weakness, as semiconductor stocks declined amid rising Fed rate hike expectations ahead of the May CPI release.
