In Nov 2025, it signed a 10-year AI hosting agreement with Fluidstack and priced an additional $333.0 million in senior secured notes due 2030, both met with positive price reactions above 5%. A 200 MW Ohio site acquisition in Dec 2025 coincided with a modest decline, showing occasional divergence even on seemingly positive growth updates.
