What the filing says
Riot Platforms executed a 20-year data center lease with a leading frontier AI lab for 191 MW of critical IT capacity at its Rockdale campus, expected to generate $9.1 billion in total contract revenue (with potential $16.1 billion if two 5-year extensions exercised). Combined with the prior AMD lease (50 MW, signed January 2026), Riot now has 241 MW contracted with two major AI ecosystem companies. Riot also completed delivery of the initial 25 MW to AMD on schedule in May 2026 and obtained $573 million interim financing from Morgan Stanley for development; Q2 revenue was $174.2 million (14% YoY growth), with $23.2 million in data center revenue.
Why this rating
Massive backlog ($9.8B contracted revenue) is 470% of company's $2.1B market cap; defines new data center business line. Execution risk remains (delivery Dec 2027–June 2028). Real progress but unproven at scale.
