What to know:

  • B. Riley said WhiteFiber’s NC-1 Nscale deal backs the company's timeline and execution.
  • Lender talks for a construction facility are advanced, with potential credit enhancements.
  • The bank's analysts reiterated their buy rating on the stock while trimming their price target to $40 from $44 following the stock's more than 50% decline from record highs.

Data center developer WhiteFiber's (WYFI) first long-term colocation deal at its flagship NC-1 campus with Nscale Global supports management’s execution and its original deployment timeline, investment bank B. Riley said in a report Tuesday.

"We believe WYFI's reaffirmation of its original deployment timeline demonstrates its execution capability and the benefit of the company's retrofit model," wrote analysts Nick Giles and Fedor Shabalin.

The analysts reiterated their buy rating on the stock while trimming their price target to $40 from $44 to reflect more conservative Cloud Services assumptions. That would be about 127% upside from last night's close of $17.62, down more than 50% from a record high two months ago.

The analysts noted that WhiteFiber is in advanced talks with lenders on a construction facility expected to close in early 2026, potentially with an accordion feature and credit enhancements that could lower its cost of capital.

On valuation, B. Riley said WhiteFiber trades at about 11x EV/EBITDA on its 2026 estimates and roughly 8x EV/EBITDA on its 4Q26 adjusted EBITDA run-rate, which it views as a meaningful discount to peers in the mid- to high-teens.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
