Oct 1 (Reuters) - Fermi's (FRMI.O), opens new tab shares opened 19% above the offer price in their Nasdaq debut on Wednesday, valuing the data center real estate investment trust at $14.8 billion amid surging investor enthusiasm for AI infrastructure stocks.
The Amarillo, Texas-based company's stock opened at $25, compared with the offer price of $21.
While development-stage firms have gone public before, it's unusual for a company under a year old with no revenue to pursue an IPO at a $10 billion-plus valuation.
Co-founded by former Texas Governor and U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Fermi has bold ambitions. The company is aiming to build the world's largest energy and data complex, powered by nuclear, natural gas and solar.
