Fermi Investment Narrative Recap

To own Fermi today, you need to believe Project Matador will convert its large permitted power platform and physical assets into long term tenant contracts, despite being pre revenue and reliant on external capital. In that context, Everson’s governance driven resignation and the US$375,000,000 convertible notes raise near term questions around board process, but do not obviously displace the core near term catalyst of securing binding tenant leases or the key risk of funding a multi billion dollar build.

Fermi's narrative projects $4.3 billion revenue and $3.2 billion earnings by 2029. This requires earnings to increase by about $3.9 billion from -$718.4 million today.

Your own view may land anywhere in between and both this upbeat scenario and the recent news could prompt you to revisit how confident you feel in those earlier forecasts.
