Market Information
Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol SMCI. Public trading of our common stock began on March 29, 2007. Prior to that, there was no public market for our common stock.
Holders
As of July 31, 2025, there were 22 registered stockholders of record of our common stock not including those shares held in street or nominee name. Because most of our shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of beneficial stockholders represented by these holders of record.
Forward Stock Split
On September 30, 2024, we filed the Amendment to effect the Stock Split of our common stock. The Amendment also effected a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. Pursuant to Section 242(d) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, stockholder approval was not required in connection with the foregoing.
The Stock Split became effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30, 2024. Trading in the common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market commenced on a Stock Split-adjusted basis at the market open on October 1, 2024, under the existing trading symbol “SMCI.”
As a result of the Stock Split, every one (1) share of common stock issued and outstanding was automatically divided into ten (10) shares of common stock. The Stock Split did not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of the common stock. Proportionate adjustments were automatically made to the number of shares of common stock underlying our outstanding equity awards, equity incentive plans, and other existing agreements, as well as exercise or conversion prices, as applicable.
Unless noted, all references to shares of common stock and per share amounts contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Equity Compensation Plan
Please see Part III, Item 12, “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters” of this Annual Report for disclosure relating to our equity compensation plans.
