Shares of WhiteFiber (WYFI) rallied in pre-market trade on Wednesday after the AI infrastructure company reported a second-quarter beat and its CEO said that “initial billing” was underway at its flagship NC-1 data center campus.
CEO Sam Tabar said WhiteFiber has moved NC-1 "from construction into active customer deployment." “Initial billing has commenced, and we expect to reach full contracted run-rate billing across the 40 megawatts of contracted IT load later this month,” he added.
WYFI stock gained around 13% in pre-market trade and was among the top trending tickers on Stocktwits at the time of writing.
WhiteFiber reported second-quarter (Q2) revenue of $28.8 million, topping the $18 million analysts’ estimate cited by Koyfin. Loss per share came in at $0.39, compared with expectations of a $0.40 per share loss.
Since the company’s previous earnings call in May, Tabar stated WhiteFiber has signed new multi-year Cloud Services agreements representing more than $500 million of aggregate contract value over their initial terms.
“Since our last earnings call, we have signed new multi-year agreements representing more than half a billion dollars of aggregate contract value over their initial terms,” he stated.
The agreements include a $165 million deal with Baseten to deploy 1,392 NVIDIA B300 GPUs in Ontario and a $108 million agreement with Prime Intellect covering 576 NVIDIA VR200 GPUs in Canada.
WhiteFiber also signed a five-year agreement worth more than $160 million for a GPU deployment in the Paris region and an $87.5 million agreement for 576 NVIDIA B300 GPUs in Iceland.
Tabar stated that NC-1 has the potential to scale toward approximately 300 gross megawatts over time. He added that WhiteFiber is also pursuing secured financing for the project and has entered into exclusivity with a consortium of lenders.
“We believe WhiteFiber is now beginning to demonstrate the development flywheel we set out to build,” Tabar stated.
On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around WYFI stock improved to ‘neutral’ from ‘extremely bearish’ territory, while chatter rose to ‘normal’ from ‘low’ levels. Platform data showed that message volume had more than doubled in the last 24 hours.
