Fermi fell on Tuesday after it reported a steeper-than-expected loss in its first quarterly earnings report since the company’s initial public offering last month.
The company, which currently generates no revenue, reported a net loss of $346.8 million for its third quarter, compared to the $13.3 million loss analysts polled by FactSet were expecting. The loss was almost entirely comprised of unspecified “other expenses” totaling $309 million.

Fermi fell on Tuesday after it reported a steeper-than-expected loss in its first quarterly earnings report since the company’s initial public offering last month.
The company, which currently generates no revenue, reported a net loss of $346.8 million for its third quarter, compared to the $13.3 million loss analysts polled by FactSet were expecting. The loss was almost entirely comprised of unspecified “other expenses” totaling $309 million.
The company said it expects to have 1.1 gigawatts of gas capacity in service by the end of 2026.
Fermi, which was cofounded by former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, plans to use nuclear energy to power data centers. In its letter to shareholders on Monday, Fermi compared the race to build AI infrastructure faster than China to the Manhattan Project, the initiative to build the first atomic bomb in World War II.
“Not all enemies wear uniforms, but make no mistake, America is at war,” the company wrote.
Nvidia dips as SoftBank dumps entire $5.8 billion position in the chip designer
SoftBank is moving on from the AI boom’s signature stock to fund an investment in the owner of the AI boom’s signature product.
In its Q2 earnings presentation, the Masayoshi Son-led Japanese investment firm said it sold its $5.8 billion position in Nvidia in October. On the conference call, CFO Yoshimitsu Goto noted that SoftBank owes OpenAI $22.5 billion by year-end to finance its equity stake in the ChatGPT maker, and spoke positively on the performance of its core product.
“This year, the OpenAI investment is large,” he added, when asked about why SoftBank sold Nvidia. “For that, we do need to divest our existing portfolio so that that can be utilized for our financing. We don’t have any specific meaning in October, or it’s nothing to do with NVIDIA itself.”
Nebius Group’s $3 billion deal with Meta takes some of the sting out of soft Q3 results
The knee-jerk move lower in Nebius after the company reported underwhelming Q3 results is not being fully offset by its concurrent announcement of a fresh $3 billion deal with Meta to deliver AI infrastructure over the next five years.
The numbers:
Revenue: $146.1 million (compared to analyst estimates of $156.5 million)
Adjusted net income: -$100.4 million (estimate: -$95.7 million)
In its earnings presentation, the neocloud highlighted that it sold out of all available capacity in Q3.
Management also significantly boosted guidance related to capacity, seeing contracted power at more than 2.5 gigawatts at the end of calendar year 2026, up from 1 gigawatt previously. Next year is poised to be huge for Nebius in terms of putting that power to good use, as management sees connected power (that is, energy that can be immediately activated upon GPU installation) rising from 220 megawatts at year-end 2025 to a range of 800 megawatts to 1 gigawatt by the end of 2026, or roughly quadrupling its active operations.
In a letter to shareholders, founder and CEO Arkady Volozh said that the firm is “currently in the process of securing additional sites” that would allow this contracted power guidance to be realized.
“The only real limitation on our revenue growth in 2025 has been the amount of capacity that we have been able to bring online,” Volozh wrote.
As the company works to resolve these constraints, “we believe that we can achieve annualized run-rate revenue of $7 billion to $9 billion by the end of 2026,” he added. There’s only one ARR estimate for Q4 2026 among analysts surveyed by Bloomberg, and that’s for $4 billion.
Management also announced an at-the-market equity program that will allow them to opportunistically raise capital by issuing up to 25 million shares.
Peer CoreWeave is slumping after posting its Q3 results after the close on Monday, in which management highlighted that supply constraints in the “powered shell” — that is, the supporting electrical infrastructure for the data center — are delaying its ramp, prompting a cut to full-year revenue guidance.
Beyond Meat continued to drop in premarket trading on Tuesday after the plant-based meat maker reported a bigger Q3 loss and lower outlook for fourth-quarter sales than what Wall Street was expecting on Monday.
In Q3, the company reported an adjusted loss per share of $0.47, worse than the $0.45 loss that analysts were anticipating.
Beyond Meat posted preliminary Q3 results on October 24, estimating revenues of about $70 million (confirmed at $70.2 million with Monday’s release), down 13% year on year. Per the company’s press release, the drop was primarily driven by a 10% decrease in volume of products from weaker demand from US customers and restaurants.
Management had delayed the release of these results because it wasn’t yet able to figure out how big of a write-down to make on long-lived assets that weren’t worth as much as previously thought. Ultimately, that noncash impairment charge on its long-lived assets was $77.4 million, making up the bulk of its $81.2 million in total noncash impairment charges.
Beyond Meat expects sales of between $60 million and $65 million in the fourth quarter, short of the consensus estimate for $70.1 million. CEO Ethan Brown commented that “category headwinds and an accompanying softer top-line continue” to weigh on the company.
The stock, which attracted significant retail interest — spiking more than 1,000% in only three days in late October — has been sliding since it peaked on October 22. At the time of writing, BYND is down about 6% relative to Monday’s close — leaving the stock up just 23% on where it was one month ago, before its mind-boggling rally.
Rocket Lab rises on better-than-expected Q3, posting record revenue and gross margin
Rocket Lab is up about 9.3% as of 5:40 a.m. ET on Tuesday after announcing record-breaking quarterly revenue of $155 million, at a record gross margin, as part of its better-than-expected Q3 results released yesterday afternoon.
For sales, which were up 48% from the same period last year, analysts had penciled in $152 million, while adjusted earnings per share came in at -$0.03, less steep than the -$0.10 that Wall Street had forecast, per estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Looking to the next quarter, the company said it expects to beat its annual launch record and post revenues of between $170 million and $180 million — ahead of analyst estimates at the midpoint by roughly 2%.
RKLB’s results for the quarter, and the year more broadly, have mostly been fueled by launches of its current Electron rocket, according to Bloomberg. As far as its next rocket goes, the Neutron, which some see as the company’s best chance to challenge Elon Musk’s SpaceX more directly, the company took yesterday as an opportunity to officially announce that its debut launch would be delayed into next year — an outcome that Ars Technica described as “inevitable.”

I will talk about Opendoor’s product frequently and its stock rarely. That’s because my job is to build the product and the company, and that will have good secondary outcomes.

Opendoor Technologies made its biggest-ever intraday comeback on Friday, from down more than 20% to closing flat, and surged on Monday as management revealed a dividend of tradable warrants (which will cause headaches for short sellers) along with the company’s Q3 results after the market closed on Thursday.
Getting insiders to buy more stock and have their incentives aligned with shareholders has been something that EMJ Capital’s Eric Jackson, the architect of the surge of retail interest in the online real estate company, has stressed. Jackson flagged his previous experience with Carvana — when CEO Ernie Garcia and many directors bought more shares of the company even as it was nose-diving — as giving him greater confidence in owning that name.
