Class Action Initiated: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC has announced a class action lawsuit against Fermi Inc. aimed at recovering damages for investors who purchased securities during the October 2025 IPO period, reflecting significant investor dissatisfaction with the company's transparency.
Allegations of Misstatements: The complaint alleges that Fermi materially overstated tenant demand for its Project Matador campus and failed to disclose the reliance on a single tenant's funding commitment, leading to investor misconceptions about the company's prospects.
Investor Loss Risks: Investors must apply to be lead plaintiffs by March 6, 2026, indicating that the legal risks faced by the company could exacerbate investor losses and impact its reputation and future financing capabilities.
No Cost to Investors: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC states they will represent investors on a contingency fee basis, meaning they will only charge fees if successful in recovering damages, thus reducing the financial burden on investors participating in the lawsuit.

Reason

Texas Capital initiated coverage of Fermi with a Buy rating and $23 price target. Fermi is currently developing the world's largest hybrid energy and data center development campus, notes the analyst, who sees the company being "uniquely positioned to capitalize" on the primary constraint facing hyperscalers as they build out to support their AI compute needs, namely bypassing long interconnection queues and achieving reliability. The stock is pricing approximately 10% of the company's projected power capacity at its current valuation, offering "material potential upside to what appears to be a low-risk play on AI infrastructure," the analyst added.

Reason

Stifel analyst Stephen Gengaro notes that in conversation with Fermi management, the company indicated that it is still in negotiations with its first key tenant. The tenant attempted to change the terms of the LOI at the last minute, and Fermi opted to call their bluff. This has delayed an agreement, but management is back in talks with the initial potential client and appears confident it will reach a deal with this client or potentially another customer from their pipeline, Stifel adds. The company noted it is now working to get its potential 2027 clients online in 2026. The LOI for the first tenant is still active, and the firm believes the company has satisfied conditions for its lease from Texas Tech University, and that lease is not at risk of being canceled. Stifel has a Buy rating on Fermi.
