The risk factor update formalizes known legal overhangs but introduces no new catalyst. Monitor for BIS denial order decisions, SEC enforcement actions, and the outcome of the internal compliance review — any of these could materially impact SMCI's ability to export and serve customers. The stock has been volatile on these issues historically; a denial order would be a severe negative catalyst.
