New Era Energy & Digital announces $64 million private placement at a 17% discount

New Era Energy & Digital disclosed a private placement of 23.27 million shares at $2.75 each, raising roughly US$64 million. The net proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under its Macquarie credit facility and to fund working capital. The company also highlighted that Phase 1 of its Texas Critical Data Centers project has secured 207 MW of contracted power, with delivery expected in Q3 2027. The offering is slated to close on October 30, 2026.

Investors pushed the stock down about 15% as the discounted, dilutive issuance signaled near‑term liquidity constraints, according to investing.com. The company indicated the cash will reduce debt and support operations, which may improve its balance sheet.
