Morgan Stanley says TeraWulf's data-center contracts and cash position support a valuation well above its battered share price.
TeraWulf has pivoted from bitcoin mining to leasing AI data centers, securing ~$27B+ in long-term contracted revenue across 839MW of critical IT loads. WULF's key leases include a 20-year, 401MW deal with Anthropic and multiple Fluidstack/Google-backed agreements, with annual run-rate rent projected at ~$1.76B upon full delivery. Despite negative earnings until rents ramp in 2028, WULF trades at an all-in EV/stabilized EBITDA of ~11-12x, supported by high-quality tenants and robust power assets.
