WhiteFiber stock sinks on Q3 misses

WhiteFiber published its Q3 results after yesterday's market close, and reported sales and earnings that fell short of the market's expectations. The company recorded a loss of $0.47 per share on revenue of $20.2 million in the period. The company's loss per share came in $0.31 higher than the target called for by the average analyst estimate, and sales came in roughly $1.8 million weaker than expected. Sales were still up 65% year over year, but 48% annual growth for cloud services revenue came in softer than expected.

What's next for WhiteFiber?

WhiteFiber is continuing to build out its support capacity for artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. With its Q3 report, the company said that it was evaluating a large array of data center sites to support future growth. But while the company will likely continue to grow sales at an aggressive pace in the near term, there's also some strong expansion priced into the company's valuation even with today's pullback. As of this writing, WhiteFiber has a market capitalization of approximately $659 million and is valued at approximately 7.9 times this year's expected sales. If the business continues to serve up aggressive sales growth, its current valuation could come to look cheap -- but there's a lot of uncertainty involved in charting its forward trajectory.
