The investigation is specifically related to Mellanox’s January 2, 2013 announcement lowering the company’s fourth quarter 2012 revenue guidance. Citing “a weaker demand environment, challenging macroeconomic conditions, and a technical issue associated with FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand cabling which caused approximately $20 million of FDR deployments to be delayed,” the company revised its fourth quarter financial outlook to a range of $119 million to $121 million, sharply below the company’s previous guidance of $145 million to $150 million.
As a result of this news, the company’s stock price dropped more than 17%, or $10.46 per share, to a closing price of $50.70 per share on January 3, 2013, on heavy volume of more than 8.2 million shares traded.
