Super Micro Computer’s stock fell 13% on June 10, 2026, after the AI server maker announced a $7 billion equity and equity-linked financing plan to fund component purchases for its surging artificial intelligence server orders.
The company said on Tuesday that it plans $5 billion in underwritten stock offerings and a $2 billion at-the-market offering, starting in July, through arrangements with JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup. The financing will fund purchases to fulfill approximately $39 billion in AI server orders from more than 20 customers that Super Micro received in recent weeks.
Companies often see their share price drop after announcing stock sales because investors anticipate their existing holdings will be diluted in value. When a company issues new shares, the earnings per share spread across more shares can decline, even if the company’s total revenue grows. Super Micro’s announcement came as demand for AI-ready servers has climbed sharply, with the company’s revenue in the March quarter up more than 100% from a year earlier.
The depositary share offering will consist of approximately $3.75 billion in depositary shares representing a 1/20th interest in newly issued series A mandatory convertible preferred stock, with each depositary share expected to have a liquidation preference of $50. Each share of the mandatory convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock on or about June 1, 2029, based on the applicable conversion rate. The company may also use a portion of the net proceeds for debt repayment, working capital additions, and capital expenditures.
Super Micro is the latest company tied to the artificial intelligence boom that’s turning to the financial markets for more capital. Earlier in June, Alphabet announced it would sell $84.75 billion in stock, including a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway, to fund its AI buildout. Dell Technologies reported that revenue from its Infrastructure Solutions Group grew 181% year over year, signaling the intensity of demand across the AI server sector.
Before the after-hours decline on June 9, Super Micro shares were up about 39% so far this year. The company’s CEO Charles Liang told analysts on the company’s earnings call in May that the cost of memory has more than tripled in recent months, underscoring the capital-intensive nature of fulfilling the massive backlog.
