TeraWulf Inc. Common Stock Earnings Recaps
The stock rose 12.8% after earnings, as investors responded to progress de-risking the $19 billion Justified project: Google credit support, a definitive EPC agreement with Fluor, and a stated path to project-level debt financing. Lake Mariner’s ramp also points to growing recurring revenue, though the call’s forward milestones remain expectations rather than completed deliveries.
Key takeaways
- TeraWulf said it has the equity required for Justified and expects to finance the remaining capital requirement with project-level debt; management said Google’s credit support strengthens the financing profile.
- Fluor’s definitive EPC agreement covers all three Justified buildings, with defined milestones, cost reporting, procurement oversight, and contractual cost and schedule protections. Guaranteed maximum pricing is to be established as engineering and procurement progress.
- Justified construction is underway, with pilings in progress. The company targets phased deliveries from late 2027 through Q2 2028 and expects costs of approximately $10 million–$12 million per critical IT megawatt.
- At Lake Mariner, CB3 is online and generating revenue, CB4 is moving into commercial operation, and further deliveries are scheduled through year-end and Q1. Management expects about half of contracted critical IT capacity to be operating by the end of Q1 and approximately $700 million of annualized leasing revenue exiting the quarter.
- Management expects Lake Mariner delivery costs near the midpoint of its original $8 million–$10 million per critical IT megawatt guidance. It also acknowledged higher financing costs and capital-market volatility as risks facing the sector.
TeraWulf’s shares fell 6.7% post-earnings as investors reacted negatively to cautious outlook signals and potential margin pressure, despite ongoing execution and expansion efforts. The market appears concerned about deceleration risks and selective asset monetization diminishing future growth optionality.
Key takeaways
- Delivered full operations of CB-3 at Lake Mariner, adding 102 megawatts of revenue-generating compute capacity and triggering $600 million in Google credit support.
- Advanced construction and commissioning at CB-4 and CB-5, with early data hall energizing expected in late September and early January, respectively.
- Expanded presence in Kentucky via a 401-megawatt long-term lease with Anthropic, securing approximately $19 billion in contracted revenue over 20 years.
- Acquired the Muskie site in Eastern Kentucky, a gigawatt-scale, utility-supported data campus with initial power service anticipated by Q4 2028.
- Monetized the Abernathy joint venture with a $530 million sale agreement, signaling a more cautious capital allocation approach focused on sites with greater control and visibility.
