Fermi Inc. (FRMI) stock fell 13.16% to $6.60 on Tuesday, marking one of the largest declines in its recent volatile 52-week range of $4.47 to $36.99. The drop came despite the company completing key goals outlined in its 90-day plan, including a binding customer agreement for up to 650 megawatts of capacity and a $6.5 billion 15-year lease for Project Matador. The earnings call also highlighted progress on balance sheet strength and expansion plans. However, the stock reacted negatively, possibly reflecting broader market sentiment or investor caution around execution risks.

What Happened

Fermi reported Q2 2026 results with a GAAP EPS of -$0.04, which beat expectations by $0.02. The company outlined a 640 MW target by Q4 2027 and a 650 MW agreement with TensorWave. It also announced a new CEO, Lee McIntire, effective August 11, following his tenure as an independent board member. The earnings call transcript, filed in an 8-K on August 13, detailed strategic expansions, including the Hillcore BOOT project and $430 million in conversions. Despite these developments, the stock declined sharply, suggesting investor skepticism or a reassessment of the company’s long-term execution potential.

What The Data Shows

Over the past eight sessions, the stock had risen 14.3%, moving from $6.23 to $7.12. However, the recent drop to $6.60 reflects a reversal of that upward trend. Insiders sold $7.3 million worth of shares in the last 90 days, with the most recent filing on July 2. Unusual options activity showed a notable $246,000 call premium but no put activity. The stock’s market cap remains at $3.9 billion, despite ongoing losses with a trailing twelve-month EPS of -$1.18. Retail traders on Reddit and X have expressed optimism about Fermi’s role in addressing AI power needs, but these are opinions and not binding events.

What To Watch

The company has not scheduled an upcoming earnings date. Investors should monitor coverage breadth and any follow-up announcements regarding the TensorWave agreement and the CEO transition.
