CORE SCIENTIFIC

Core Scientific agreed 15-year deals tied to the AMD ecosystem covering about 530 megawatts across five sites—377 MW leased directly by AMD and 152 MW leased by a neocloud with protections for AMD—and the arrangement can expand to 2.5 GW. The contracts imply more than $14 billion of potential base revenue over 15 years and nearly double Core Scientific's leased customer power, validating shareholder concerns about the company's ability to attract major AI customers after rejecting a proposed ~$9 billion sale. However, the economic benefit remains uncertain given high construction and financing needs, existing debt, and potential dilution from warrants; execution and project funding will determine ultimate shareholder value. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
