Cash runway: about 13 months. Super Micro Computer had $6.91B in cash and short-term investments on Sep 30, 2026 and burned $6.50B of free cash flow over the 12 months before that, about $1.62B a quarter. Divide one by the other and that's the runway, if nothing changes.

My math, not the company's. It doesn't count money raised after Sep 30, 2026 (check the Filings tab for offerings), credit lines, or plans to cut spending.

If buybacks are smaller than stock pay, the buyback isn't shrinking the share count; it's soaking up shares handed to employees.

An insider buying with their own money is a stronger signal than a sale: people sell for taxes, houses and diversification. "Planned" sales were scheduled months ahead under a 10b5-1 plan. Source: SEC Form 4.

From the SEC's fails-to-deliver data, which runs two to four weeks behind. A spike can mean heavy short selling or just back-office delays; it isn't proof of anything on its own. Short interest isn't shown: FINRA's terms don't allow republishing it.

Share offerings

Selling new shares dilutes current owners. A "shelf" is permission to sell later; a 424B5 usually means a sale is actually happening.

What they told the SEC, in plain English

Every 8-K (the report a company files when something big happens) in the last two years. Red ones are worth a closer look: auditor changes, restatements, late reports, listing problems.

What changed in the latest annual report

Comparing the risk factors in the 10-K filed Aug 31, 2026 with the one filed Aug 28, 2025: 3 new and 7 removed, out of 33.

  • We were delinquent in certain SEC reporting obligations in prior fiscal years, which may increase the risk of SEC enforcement actions, damage investor confidence, and require significant resources to correct. We have since implemented enhanced compliance controls to prevent recurrence.
  • Our operating results may be adversely impacted by additional tax liabilities, higher than expected tax rates, changes in tax laws, and other tax-related factors.

  • Our future effective income tax rates could be affected by changes in the relative mix of our operations, our relative income among different geographic regions and domestic and foreign income tax laws, which could affect our future operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
  • Our products may not be viewed as supporting climate change mitigation in the IT sector.
  • Expectations and evolving laws and regulations relating to environmental, social and governance considerations expose us to potential liabilities, reputational harm and other unforeseen adverse effects on our business.
