Chain of title

## Publicly held

Super Micro Computer, Inc. sits at the top of its own chain — no documented parent corporation. Ultimate beneficial ownership is the dispersed public float.

Supply-chain footprint

## Suppliers and customers

Dollar flows are annual figures from the fiscal year labelled on the row — SEC segment and >10%-customer disclosures, re-derived company disclosures, or a licensed supply-chain database; per-row source and authority tier on hover. A row without a year means the source does not state the period. Disclosures older than 5 years are tagged _historical_ and ordered below current rows — they are kept as evidence of what was disclosed then, not as evidence of a present relationship, and the counterparty may since have been acquired or dissolved. The 3-month Pearson r comes from a licensed supply-chain database; correlation is a coupling proxy — shared market sensitivity, not a causal channel. Sole-source edges are flagged inline.

Substrate coverage

Licensed sources do reach Super Micro Computer, Inc.: the supply relationships above are drawn from a licensed supply-chain database. What is missing is one specific feed — the corporate-financials extract behind this profile (geographic revenue, segment mix, capital allocation), which covers a loaded set of listed companies that Super Micro Computer, Inc. is not among; the gap is in coverage, not in the record. The public industry classification (SIC, NAICS) is absent as well. Coverage rules in the [methodology](/methodology#licensed-substrate).

Cross-source methodology divergence · 2 flags

Per data-quality principle §7 (CONTRADICTION SURFACING): when primary sources disagree under different methodologies, both are shown with as-of dates rather than picking a silent winner.

    licensed geographic-revenue 2026-05-14 records Supermicro LTM Jun '25 revenue of USD 33.7B with 11.7% (~USD 3.94B) attributed to Mainland China, growing +46.5% Y/Y. The growth window straddles the April 2025 U.S. export-control tightening — which restricted Nvidia GPU sales to companies "headquartered or with an ultimate parent" in China. A +46.5% Y/Y increase in China revenue during a tightening window is structurally counter-cyclical to expectations of disclosed volume. The March 2026 DoJ indictment of Supermicro co-founder Wally Liaw for allegedly conspiring to smuggle $2.5B in Nvidia-powered servers to China via a Southeast Asian pass-through (subsequently reported by Bloomberg to be Thailand-based OBON Corp) provides a concrete corroborating data point.

    Per DQP §7, the licensed corporate-ownership/supply-chain database 11.7% China + 46.5% Y/Y disclosure is Tier-1 primary fact. The +46.5% Y/Y growth during an export-control tightening window is a structural anomaly worth surfacing; the March 2026 indictment provides a corroborating mechanism (pass-through smuggling) that, if true at the alleged $2.5B scale, would explain part of the disclosed growth.
    
-   `disclosure_lag_anomaly`
    
    licensed segment-revenue analysis 2026-05-14 for Super Micro Computer shows the last disclosed segment breakdown is FY2023 (ending Jun '23). Two fiscal years (FY2024 + FY2025) carry no segment disclosure as of the 2026-05-14 report date. The lag straddles the period of disputed China revenue, the March 2026 DoJ indictment, and the April 2025 export-control tightening. Disclosure-lag flags do not constitute evidence of wrongdoing — but they do constitute a transparency gap worth surfacing for analysts who would otherwise expect to find current segment splits.

    Per DQP §3 (source documentation) — the gap is an attribute of the disclosure, not a Scrutica derivation. Flagged so researchers do not infer ongoing segment activity from stale data.
