Is WhiteFiber (WYFI) Quietly Redefining Its AI Data Center Strategy With The NC-1 Anchor Deal?

Simply Wall St
  • WhiteFiber’s Enovum Data Centers subsidiary previously signed a 10-year colocation agreement with Nscale Global Holdings for 40 megawatts of IT load at the NC-1 AI data center campus in Madison, North Carolina, carrying an estimated US$865 million in contracted revenue.
  • The deal makes Nscale the anchor tenant at NC-1, giving WhiteFiber clearer long-term revenue visibility and support for potential campus expansion tailored to advanced AI workloads.
  • Next, we’ll explore how anchoring NC-1 with a long-term, AI-focused tenant agreement shapes WhiteFiber’s broader investment narrative.

What Is WhiteFiber's Investment Narrative?

To own WhiteFiber, you need to believe it can turn rapid top-line growth and an AI-first infrastructure footprint into sustainable, profitable cash flows before its limited cash runway becomes an issue. The new 10-year, US$865 million NC-1 contract with Nscale sharpens that story: it adds long-term revenue visibility, supports financing conversations for further buildout, and directly ties WhiteFiber to AI infrastructure demand at scale. In the near term, key catalysts now cluster around execution on NC-1 (on-time capacity delivery, phase-in of the 40 MW load, and starting billing from 2026) and any follow-on tenant or expansion announcements. The biggest risks shift less around demand and more around balance sheet strain, execution risk on a single flagship campus, and a still-young, loss-making organization being priced at a premium to peers.

However, investors should also weigh how WhiteFiber’s short cash runway intersects with its capital-intensive buildout plans. Our valuation report here indicates WhiteFiber may be overvalued.
