WhiteFiber ($WYFI) saw a 13% increase after hours following the announcement of a significant five-year agreement to provide AI compute services to a technology company in Paris, valued at over $160 million. This project, supported by prepayments from the customer and project-level financing expected to close in June 2026, is part of a broader trend where AI compute providers expand into new European markets to meet rising demand. The service is set to begin in July 2026 and will utilize NVDA chips, with arrangements already in place for space in a third-party data center. Additionally, a potential IPO related to WhiteFiber’s Montreal data center could further strengthen their market position and partnerships.
