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.

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.

New this year
- Climate change may have a long-term impact on our business.

- 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.
Dropped from last year (7)

- Matters relating to or arising from the circumstances discussed in Item 9. "Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure" of this Annual Report, including adverse publicity and potential concerns from our customers, have had and could continue to have an…
- Changes in U.S. or foreign policies, geopolitical conditions, general economic conditions, and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and operating results.
- 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.
