SMCI Granted Extension to Avoid Nasdaq Delisting till 2025, Stock Gains

Super Micro Computer Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) has successfully obtained an extension from Nasdaq, allowing the company additional time to avoid being delisted. This extension grants SMCI until February 25, 2025, to submit its overdue audited financial statements.

The company has faced challenges in meeting its financial reporting obligations, having not yet filed its audited year-end financials for the latest fiscal year, along with delays in quarterly results.

The potential delisting was primarily due to these reporting failures. During this extension period, SMCI will remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, provided it complies with the necessary requirements by the deadline.
