Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) is set to be removed from the Nasdaq-100 Index on December 23, 2024, just five months after its inclusion in July. The company has faced significant challenges, including order cancellations from customers, leading to speculation about its financial stability. To continue operations, SMCI may require a substantial loan from Evercore. The removal from the Nasdaq-100 is part of a broader reconstitution of the index, which could also impact other companies. Analysts note that SMCI's stock has already seen a decline, falling 12% in the week following its initial inclusion. The changes in the index are expected to influence passive investors, potentially leading to further sell-offs of SMCI shares.
