Financial Satire & Grift Detection
Fermi is a short, as the retail crowd behind the stock is getting violent, boasting of a 50% gain in four sessions. x.comÂ
Fermi America asks investors to value a blueprint rather than a building, and expectations have outrun reality; shares are down more than 70% from the IPO. Mission-critical infrastructure with existing cash flows is preferable to paying today for possibilities that may not materialize until 2040. x.comÂ
Fermi's valuation has now fallen to where starting a position makes sense, because the market has finally discounted risks that were apparent more than a month earlier. Those risks were clear from conversations with other management teams and Texas regulators; @chinoalemano notes the market concluded only about a third of the potential 1,600MW for 2027 would actually happen. x.com x.comÂ
Fermi is a fraud, and the market has always known it: former governor Rick Perry is building a product called the Donald Trump generating plant. @FuzzyPandaShort, which is short Fermi, reports that CEO Toby Neugebauer departed and cites accusations of C-level executives involved in fraud schemes with him. x.comÂ
Fermi carries a true chance of going to zero, so it can't be owned outright, even though it may well get a deal done in time. In a world of high energy costs and constant backlash against turning backyards into data centers, Fermi holds a strong hand. @rahmbotrades sees a good chance Amazon partners with Fermi for its Amarillo build-out, citing an updated Amazon job listing for a data center cluster operations leader. x.comÂ
Fermi is an overlooked way to play AI because almost no one is watching who powers the chips. Rick Perry's company has built an 11 GW private, behind-the-meter energy grid for AI hyperscalers, with a 6 GW Clean Air Permit, a nuclear pilot, $785M in new equipment financing and a $500M MUFG loan. At $9.5, the stock sits well below analyst targets of $20 or more, and two buy signals are in play. x.comÂ
Fervo Energy's Google deal is far off while its risks are near. Google signed to buy 396 MW of geothermal power from Fervo starting only in 2028, with up to another 600 MW by 2030. Fervo is still pre-revenue, with heavy capex and execution risk, including about $1.2B of planned spending through Q1 2027. The market isn't buying data-center stories right now, and the stock's 20% gain had shrunk to 9%. x.comÂ
FuelCell Energy could ride AI data-center power demand with high-temperature fuel cells for clean baseload, scaling 12.5MW FuelCell Blocks for hyperscalers. At about a $650 million market cap, it has $170 million of TTM revenue, Q1 up 61%, a $1.17 billion backlog, $312 million of cash and output ramping to 350MW. Risks are negative gross margins, cash burn, dilution and unproven execution; @SueWallSt notes its 1.5GW of data center deals are proposals and backlog shrank. High risk, high reward. … Show more
Fermi's first data center tenant is a massive one, making this a high-conviction setup. TensorWave signed a binding lease at Project Matador in Texas, with phase one locking in 222 megawatts and about $6.5 billion of contracted revenue over 15 years, and expansion rights could take it past 650 megawatts. Part of the lease is expected to carry a guarantee from a major AI name. Construction is 6 gigawatts into a 17-gigawatt build, first power is targeted for 2026, and volume shows accumulation. … Show more
New Era Energy & Digital is lining up power and permits for a 1.4GW AI campus, Texas Critical Data Centers, on 493 acres in Ector County. It signed a 20-year deal to buy up to 207MW from Vistra's Odessa gas plant, with power expected in Q3 2027, and Vistra gets a 5% non-voting stake in the part it powers. Construction permits are in hand, but the data center business is pre-revenue, making it the highest-risk name on the list. x.comÂ
