Super Micro forecasts fourth-quarter revenue below estimates;…

May 6 (Reuters) –

AI server maker Super Micro Computer forecast fourth-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates on Tuesday and said economic uncertainty and tariffs might pressure near-term performance, sending its shares down 5.4% in extended trading.

The San Jose, California-based company, which has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the surge in spending on advanced data center infrastructure to support generative AI workloads, had faced months of accounting-related issues, fanning worries of a potential Nasdaq delisting.

Super Micro – which builds AI servers using chips from Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and others – forecast quarterly revenue of $5.6 billion to $6.4 billion, compared with analysts’ estimate of $6.82 billion, according to LSEG data.

“Looking at the AI spending plans of the large public companies, SMCI’s lower guidance in sales looks like it is a self-inflicted wound,” said Kim Caughey Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners LLC.

Some clients have delayed spending in the reported quarter, but those commitments are expected to land in the June-September quarter, Super Micro said in a statement.

Investors are keenly watching for any signs of a pullback in AI-linked investments due to tariff-related uncertainties by parsing comments and forecasts from companies that provide critical infrastructure in the form of servers and chips to support the technology.

However, it is too early to tell whether these disappointing results indicate a cooling data center business, said Gil Luria, video mesum managing director at D.A. Davidson & Co.

“It is more likely Super Micro is losing share to the likes of Dell due to company-specific problems,” Luria added.

For fiscal 2025, the company forecast revenue of $21.8 billion to $22.6 billion, down from its previous projection of $23.5 billion to $25.0 billion.

The company reported its preliminary results last week. (Reporting by Priyanka.G and Kritika Lamba in Bengaluru ; Editing by Anil D’Silva)

Oklahoma State looks to ‘get over itself’ and bounce back at Tulsa

Oklahoma State and host Tulsa will return from a much-needed holiday break as the in-state rivals meet Wednesday night in non-conference action.

The Cowboys (4-2) went into the Charleston Classic undefeated on Nov. 21 but left after absorbing two losses in four days. They fell to Florida Atlantic to start the tournament and ended it with a 90-78 loss to Nevada on Nov. 24.

In the latter defeat, Oklahoma State’s defense allowed the Wolf Pack to shoot 58.9 percent from the floor as the Cowboys trailed by as many as 19 points and never led.

“This team has to has to get over itself,” said Cowboys coach Steve Lutz. “We’ll get frustrated with the officials or we’ll get frustrated with our team or you know because someone took a bad shot, or someone missed us on an opportunity to get a shot, and we’ll let that affect the other end, and so we’ve got to get past all of that, get past ourselves, and be consistent with our defensive effort.”

Offensively, Oklahoma State has gotten better at holding onto the ball, averaging 11 turnovers per game for the first four games of the season, but totaling just 13 in the past two games.

Marchelus Avery scored 15 points for the Cowboys in each of those two games, showing offensive consistency that Oklahoma State will need Wednesday.

Tulsa (4-4) split two games at the Jacksonville Classic, falling 74-71 most recently against Georgia State on Nov. 27. Despite Dwon Odom’s 16 points and 11 rebounds, the Golden Hurricane were outrebounded 46-32, leading to 10 second-chance points.

With two seconds left and the game tied 71-71, Braeden Carrington fouled Zarique Nutter on a jumper, leading to a free throw and the eventual three-point victory, tante sange with Tulsa not getting off a final shot.

Now, the Golden Hurricane will welcome a Sooner State rival loaded with experience, with the Cowboys a top-10 team in terms of Division I experience on their roster.

“They’ve got a deep roster of guys that will do a few things,” said Tulsa coach Eric Konkol. “They’re going to play fast, they’re going to play hard, they’re going to crash the glass, and they right now are winning both the rebound margin and the turnover margin, and that’s not an easy thing to do.”

Porn star killed man on camera during sex, court hears

A porn star killed a man on camera during sex after he had battered his partner to death with a hammer and decapitated them both, a court heard.

Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, then wheeled the dismembered heads of Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71, in a suitcase before putting them into a chest freezer, jurors heard.

Other parts of their bodies were found in two suitcases on Bristol’s iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge on 10 July last year.

Mosquera, a Colombian national, had been staying at the couple’s home on Scotts Road, Shepherd’s Bush, west London, where the decapitated heads were found.

Mosquera had met Mr Alfonso online where the Columbian used the names ‘iamblackmaster’ and ‘mrd—k20cm’, Woolwich Crown Court heard.

He came to the UK to participate in sex acts and he dominated and degraded Mr Alfonso in films that the now dead man posted online.

Mosquera denied murdering retired handyman Mr Longworth, the court heard.

He also denies murdering Mr Alfonso, a swimming instructor, but has admitted to manslaughter.

Yostin Andres Mosquera, 35, a Colombian national, denied murdering the retired handyman Mr Longworth, the court heard. He also denies murdering Mr Alfonso, a swimming instructor, but has admitted to manslaughter

Mosquera came to the UK to participate in sex acts and he dominated and degraded Mr Alfonso in films that the now dead man posted online

Jurors were warned they would have to view the horrifying footage of Mr Alfonso being stabbed to death during sex.

Mosquera was allegedly filmed dancing and singing in jubilation within seconds of slitting the throat of Mr Alfonso during a sex game caught on camera on July 8, 2024. 

Hours earlier, the 35-year-old allegedly battered Mr Alfonso’s partner Mr Longworth to death with a hammer in order to steal from the London couple, whom he had met online.

Prosecutor Deanna Heer, KC, said: ‘According to their neighbours, they were a friendly couple who seemed happy together and to be genuinely fond of one another. None of them noticed any conflict within their relationship.

‘However, Mr Alfonso liked extreme sex, which he videoed and posted online on specialist websites.’

A witness using the pseudonym James Smith had known Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth for about 18 years and, by the time of their deaths, considered them to be close friends.

Ms Heer said: ‘He regularly engaged in acts of sexual domination with Mr Alfonso, for which he was paid. Some of those encounters were also posted online.

‘They involved Mr Smith degrading Albert Alfonso by urinating, defecating and vomiting on him.

‘Over the years, the relationship between Mr Smith and Alfonso ebbed and flowed and there were significant periods of time when they were not in contact with one another.

‘Mr Smith’s description of their early relationship is undoubtedly troubling…He recalls as a young man getting drunk with Alfonso only to be told in the morning that they had had sex and that Alfonso had filmed it.

‘Alfonso promised not to show anyone else if Mr Smith agreed to do him sexual favours. Thinking that he was to blame and knowing that Alfonso had the video, Mr Smith decided he may as well make some money out of the situation, and he agreed.

‘But he told Alfonso he was not into the sex. Alfonso told him about domination and Smith agreed to degrade Alfonso in the way I have described. To use Smith’s own words, it was not a good start.

‘That is something of an understatement but over time both Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso became, in his description, like family to him and they would spend time together doing other things, although his sexual encounters with Alfonso were always something he kept to himself and kept extremely private.’

Prosecutor Heer added: ‘At about 11.30pm on the night of the 10 July 2024 Douglas Cunningham was cycling home across the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol when he saw the defendant, Yostin Mosquera, standing next to a large red suitcase.

‘Thinking he was a lost tourist, Mr Cunningham stopped to see if he was okay.

‘A few metres away from where the defendant was standing, on the bridge approach, there was another suitcase, a large silver trunk.

‘The defendant told Mr Cunningham that he was from Colombia and that the suitcase he was standing with contained car parts. That was a lie.

‘In fact, the suitcases contained the decapitated and dismembered bodies of Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso, which the defendant had taken to Bristol from their home in London where they had been killed two days before.

‘Their decapitated heads would be found by the police in a chest freezer at their flat at 9 Scotts Road in Shepherds Bush.

‘Paul Longworth had been attacked with a hammer to the back of his head, suffering repeated blows, such that his skull was shattered.

‘Albert Alfonso had been repeatedly stabbed, suffering multiple wounds to his torso and to his face and to his neck. His throat had been cut.’

Other parts of their bodies were found in two suitcases on Bristol’s iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge on 10 July last year

On the day that the two men were killed Mosquera googled ‘where on the head is a knock fatal?’ and ‘how long before a corpse starts to decompose?’

The post mortem examination of Mr Longworth’s body revealed that he had suffered severe blunt force trauma to the head which caused his death, said Ms Heer.

She explained that there were injuries on his hand, which suggested that he had tried to defend himself.

When the flat was later searched, a hammer was found lying on the floor in the hallway. It was found to be stained with Paul Longworth’s blood’, the court was told.

Turning to the murder of Mr Alfonso the prosecutor said: ‘The evidence suggests that he was killed at about 10.15pm in his bedroom.

‘The killing was captured on cameras which had been set up by Mr Alfonso in his bedroom to record a sex session between him and the defendant.

‘The footage, some of which I am afraid it will be necessary for you to see, shows that the defendant ended that encounter by repeatedly stabbing Albert Alfonso and cutting his throat.

‘The footage shows that Alfonso was, throughout, in a submissive position.’

‘The defendant admits that he killed Albert Alfonso. He could hardly deny it, because the killing took place whilst he and Alfonso were having sex, and the sex and the killing were recorded on film.

‘However, although he admits killing Albert Alfonso he denies the offence of murder, admitting only the lesser offence of manslaughter – and he denies that he killed Paul Longworth at all.

‘He blames Albert Alfonso for Paul Longworth’s death.

‘The prosecution case is that the defendant murdered both men, that he intended to kill them, that his actions were planned and premeditated.’

Mosquera appeared in the dock wearing a white shirt assisted by a Spanish interpreter.

Ms Heer told the jury: ‘The prosecution suggests that the evidence is clear: the defendant, we say, is guilty of nothing less than the murder of both Paul Longworth and Albert Alfonso.

‘Albert Alfonso simply had no reason to kill his lifelong friend and partner, Paul Longworth.

‘Their relationship was unconventional, there’s no doubt about that but, whatever you may think about the way Albert Alfonso conducted his sex life, the evidence suggests that they accepted one another and cared for one another.

‘As far as the murder of Paul Longworth is concerned, it is very easy for the defendant to blame Albert Alfonso, who is no longer alive to contradict him but Albert Alfonso is not the culprit. Rather, all the evidence demonstrates that the defendant is.

‘Indeed, the evidence demonstrates that the defendant killed Paul Longworth at the flat whilst Albert Alfonso was at work. It was the defendant who searched the internet for how to kill someone by striking their head, just as Paul Longworth was killed by strikes to the head; and it was the defendant who was looking for a chest freezer.’

Ms Heer referred to the video footage that was shown to the jury, in which Mosquera can be seen dancing after he has attacked Mr Alfonso.

‘In respect of the murder of Albert Alfonso, the footage of his killing at the hands of the defendant is not easy to watch but it demonstrates with absolute clarity that the defendant was in complete control of his actions at that time, which were strategic and premeditated.

‘He armed himself with the knife and fuck waited for the opportunity to use it to cut Alfonso’s throat in a deliberate and calculated act of killing. And having done so, as Albert Alfonso lay dying at his feet, the defendant immediately went to his computer and tried to steal from him.’

Mr Longworth was Irish and Mr Alfonso was originally from France but had obtained British citizenship.

The new trial comes after the prosecution opened its case at the Old Bailey at the end of April but two weeks later Mr Justice Bennathan discharged the jury.

The retrial continues.

US STOCKS-Wall St slips on mixed earnings, higher Treasury yields

Netflix falls after downbeat forecast

Tesla down on latest cuts to US prices

Morgan Stanley slips as Q1 profit falls

Indexes down: Dow 0.41%, S&P 0.46%, Nasdaq 0.64%

(Updates prices to open)

By Sruthi Shankar and Ankika Biswas

April 19 (Reuters) – Wall Street’s main indexes fell on Wednesday as Treasury yields rose on growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates higher for longer, while mixed earnings from regional banks and weakness in Tesla further dented sentiment.

Tesla Inc dropped 2.4% after the electric-vehicle maker reduced prices for scam a sixth time this year in the United States, ahead of its first-quarter results.

Netflix Inc slid 4.7% after the video-streaming pioneer issued a downbeat forecast.

Morgan Stanley declined 1.8% as the Wall Street bank reported a fall in quarterly earnings, a day after rival Goldman Sachs Group Inc posted a 19% drop in profit on hit to dealmaking and losses from the sale of some assets in its consumer business.

While the start of the earnings season has been largely supportive for equities, investors will closely watch updates from market heavyweights as well as consumer companies for signs of inflation and economic slowdown hurting margins.

Mixed economic data recently has fueled bets that the U.S. central bank will hike interest rates by 25 basis points in May, with traders seeing an 83% chance for such a move, as per CME Group’s Fedwatch tool.

The two-year Treasury yield, most reflective of short-term rate expectations, hit a one-month high and the 10-year yield hit a four-week high as traders scaled back expectations of rate cuts later this year.

“I don’t know if they’re (Fed policymakers) going to raise a whole lot more, but all the hawkish tone is saying don’t expect rate cuts this year, another thing driving yields a little bit higher because a lot of them had been anticipating a cut,” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh.

“Also, UK inflation came in really hot and there are fears that it could spread here.”

Communication services, materials and technology were among the top S&P 500 sector decliners.

The Fed’s “Beige Book”, a snapshot of the health of the U.S. economy, will be released at 2:00 p.m. ET (1800 GMT), and investors will scrutinize it for the impact of the recent banking crisis on economic activity.

At 9:44 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 140.38 points, or 0.41%, at 33,836.25, the S&P 500 was down 19.18 points, or 0.46%, at 4,135.69, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 77.37 points, or 0.64%, at 12,076.04.

Chipmakers including Micron Technology and Qualcomm Inc were down around 1% each after European giant ASML Holding NV noted some signs of caution among customers.

The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index dropped 1.3%.

Earnings from regional banks were mixed, with Citizens Financial Group Inc falling 3.4% after its first-quarter results missed estimates.

Western Alliance Bancorp rallied 17.3% after the regional bank posted stronger-than-expected earnings and said its deposits had stabilized after the March banking crisis.

Shares of First Republic Bank, Zions Bancorporation and Pacwest Bancorp rose between 3% and 8.1%.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 3.70-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 2.40-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P index recorded 10 new 52-week highs and one new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 17 new highs and 57 new lows. (Reporting by Sruthi Shankar and Ankika Biswas in Bengaluru Editing by Vinay Dwivedi)
