Fermi IPO Lawsuits Set March 6 Lead Plaintiff Deadline in SDNY
Investors accuse the AI infrastructure developer of downplaying its dependence on a single tenant’s $150 million construction advance, a risk that came to light with a one-day share plunge in December.
Overview
- Multiple firms are soliciting applicants to lead the consolidated case captioned Lupia v. Fermi Inc., No. 26-cv-00050, pending in the Southern District of New York.
- Complaints allege Fermi overstated tenant demand for its Project Matador AI campus and failed to disclose reliance on an at‑risk $150 million Advance in Aid of Construction from a prospective anchor tenant.
- Fermi disclosed on Dec. 12, 2025 that the tenant had terminated the funding agreement, and the stock fell roughly 33–34% that day to about $10.09 per share.
- The putative class covers IPO purchasers and investors who bought between Oct. 1 and Dec. 11, 2025, with claims asserted under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934 against the company, certain executives and directors, and IPO underwriters.
- In its October 2025 offering, Fermi sold 37,375,000 shares at $21.00 each, and subsequent filings note the stock has traded as low as $8.59 since the disclosure.
