Fermi (FRMI) is in the spotlight after a major leadership reshuffle, with a new Chief Financial Officer and several senior officers appointed shortly after a director resigned citing governance concerns.

The leadership shake up has come during a volatile stretch for Fermi, with the latest share price at $7.40 after a 1 day share price return of 17.1% and a 90 day share price return of 37.0%, despite the year to date share price return being down 16.1%. This suggests momentum has recently picked up as investors reassess growth prospects and governance risks.

Fermi is pitching a big vision in private power grids, and the stock has just jumped after a turbulent stretch in the boardroom. How does that story line up with what you are actually paying at $7.40 a share?

Most Popular Narrative: 61.1% Undervalued

Fermi's most widely followed narrative anchors a fair value of $19.00 against the latest $7.40 share price, framing a sizable gap that hinges on future project execution and long term tenant demand.

The scarcity of suitable generation equipment and large scale permits, including Fermi's 6 gigawatt air permit and application for an additional 5 gigawatts, can improve its negotiating position with tenants that are competing for power. This may support pricing and long term earnings potential.

Want to see why this narrative assigns such a high price to a pre revenue Fermi? It leans on steep revenue growth, very high margins and a compressed future earnings multiple. Curious which specific forecasts have to land almost perfectly for that $19.00 fair value to hold up? The full narrative lays out those assumptions in black and white.

Result: Fair Value of $19.00 (UNDERVALUED)

However, Fermi's story still hinges on signing large, investment grade tenants and securing over US$3b of project financing on acceptable terms, which remain unresolved swing factors.

Another View: Fermi Looks Expensive On P/B

While the popular Fermi narrative leans on a discounted cash flow style outlook that points to upside, the current P/B ratio of 4.4x paints a very different picture. That is higher than both the US Specialized REITs industry at 2x and peers at 3.3x. Anyone buying in today is paying a premium for a pre revenue story. How comfortable are you paying well above sector and peer levels before the first major lease is in place?
