Stem's Athena software is the dispatch layer behind the behind-the-meter batteries hyperscalers now rely on, yet the stock values it at a scrap 0.6x EV/sales. Half of 2026 data center projects sit in grid interconnect queues through 2030, so hyperscalers pair batteries with gas turbines to get power online in months, and Athena decides when storage charges, discharges and arbitrages prices. A re-rate to 1.0-1.5x EV/sales implies $14-19 in 12 months; a Q3 attach-rate disclosure is the catalyst. x.com
