Fermi secures $200 million prepayment for 600 MW hyperscaler power deal
Fermi Inc. announced a 600 MW power agreement with an undisclosed investment‑grade hyperscaler, accompanied by a $200 million prepayment due on November 13, 2026. The company reported a Q3 2026 net loss of $141.6 million, held $315.5 million in cash, and carried $958.4 million of net debt. The hyperscaler lease has not been signed and the prepayment is not yet tied to a binding lease agreement.
Why it matters
The prepayment provides immediate cash but, without a signed lease, it does not yet translate into revenue, leaving going‑concern concerns until a lease is finalized (the company’s 10‑Q notes). Analysts note that the stock jumped more than 10% on the news, reflecting investor optimism about the customer traction despite the loss.
