Fermi Inc. offers a pure-play bet on AI infrastructure's next bottleneck: electricity delivery, with Project Matador as its core asset. FRMI holds valuable permits and land for an 11–17 GW AI campus in Texas, combining regulatory progress, power-generation strategy, and a large contiguous site.

Fermi Inc. (FRMI) Shareholder/Analyst Call Transcript
Fermi offers a highly speculative but potentially massive upside, targeting AI infrastructure via a REIT model with a 17 GW power campus in Texas. FRMI trades at 16x forward P/FFO, but true value hinges on flawless execution, rapid ramp-up, and securing major AI clients like OpenAI. Projected 2028 revenues of $4.5B and FFO of $2–2.5B could yield a 2x forward P/FFO, but execution, financing, and client acquisition risks remain acute.
FRMI is pioneering a power-first, off-grid data center REIT model to address surging AI-driven electricity demand. FRMI's growth is highly concentrated in Project Matador, a massive Amarillo, TX campus aiming for 11 GW capacity and 18M sq ft of AI data center space. Execution and management risks are pronounced, with boardroom turmoil and a single-asset dependency driving a steep discount to fair value.
