Fermi drops after tenant terminates $150 million contract

Fermi fell in early trading on Friday after it disclosed that its first tenant for its planned Project Matador power grid site has terminated its $150 million contract.

Fermi, which was cofounded by former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, plans to build nuclear energy infrastructure to power data centers. In September, Fermi announced that it had entered into a nonbinding letter of intent with a tenant to lease a portion of Project Matador. That contract was terminated on Thursday, Fermi said in a Friday regulatory filing.

Fermi, which currently generates no revenue, said it is talking to other potential tenants for the Project Matador Site and “remains confident that it will be able to meet its expected power delivery schedule at Project Matador as the demand for behind-the-meter power for AI remains robust over the near and long term.”

Fermi, which went public in October, is now down more than 70% since its IPO. Last month the company had its first quarterly earnings report, in which it reported steeper-than-expected losses.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
