SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC's investors have gotten some relief this week, as the beleaguered server maker said it has a new auditor and has submitted a plan to the Nasdaq for how it intends to get current with filing requirements.
That's translated into a 78% weekly surge in Super Micro's stock, the biggest weekly gain on record. That increase is more than double the prior weekly record of 33.5%, which was seen in the week that ended May 26, 2023.
Still, the stock is off from its former glory, down 72% from its March closing high. At one point, Super Micro shares were up more than 300% on the year, but now they're up only 17% in 2024, after recently clawing back into positive territory.
MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor has revealed that the company is minting $500 million a day as Bitcoin inches closer to $100,000 for the first time in its history.
Saylor, who has been all-in on Bitcoin for years now, has revealed an insane statistic – MicroStrategy's holdings of the top cryptocurrency have appreciated by as much as $5.4 billion over the last two weeks.
In an interview with CNBC, Saylor broke down MicroStrategy's gains, saying, "We're making $500 million a day. I'm staring at my screen and we're selling dollar bills for $3, sometimes a million times a minute."
On Wednesday, white-shoe investment bank Morgan Stanley published a new note on Unity Software Inc. authored by Matthew Cost. The pundit reiterated his overweight (buy) recommendation on the stock and his $24-per-share price target.
Cost's latest take on the highly specialized tech company came after a series of investor meetings with CEO Matt Bromberg. According to reports, Bromberg went into some detail about a new advertising model slated to debut in 2025 that will positively affect the company's "grow solutions" business.
Additionally, Unity is hard at work developing a neural network that will take advantage of the copious data Unity has been able to compile. Finally, management aims to streamline its varied advertising efforts into one stack, part of an overall move to rationalize its operations and save costs.

The company expects product revenue of $3.43 billion for 2025, compared with its previous forecast of $3.36 billion.
Williams-Sonoma’s stock rose nearly 28% to an all-time high on Wednesday after the home-goods retailer reported improved sales and market-share gains, as well as stronger-than-expected profit, despite a “difficult environment.”

The company said its board approved a new $1 billion stock-buyback plan in September.
