Fermi Signs Credit Support Agreement with AMD

After Fermi (FRMI) announced the signing of the "long-awaited" credit support agreement with AMD (AMD), Evercore ISI analyst Nicholas Amicucci called the news "a constructive step toward financing the first phase of Project Matador" and "progress toward making the project financeable," but added that project financing still needs to be secured. While the framework for the upsizing of the initial agreement is now in place, the firm believes a formal announcement of a Phase 2 and Phase 3 agreement relies on AMD's commercial success in securing additional offtakers, adds the analyst, who keeps an In Line rating and $11 price target on Fermi shares.
