On September 9, Fervo Energy Co. declined 5.11% in regular trading to $17.93 per share, with turnover of approximately $24.65 million. The pullback came as the market digested the earlier rally driven by the company's 396-megawatt power purchase agreement with Google, while the broader renewable electricity sector faced significant selling pressure.
The Google agreement, announced in early September, involves Fervo's Cape Station enhanced geothermal project in Utah, slated to come online in 2028, with an option for Google to expand offtake by roughly 600 megawatts for a total capacity of nearly 1 gigawatt by June 2030. The deal had previously propelled shares up nearly 15% in a single session, and subsequent sessions saw continued momentum. However, with the initial catalyst largely priced in, profit-taking intensified.
Sector-wide weakness compounded the decline, with peers Ormat falling 10.51%, Clearway Energy down 3.59%, and Brookfield Renewable Corp. off 2.43%. Fundamentally, Fervo reported a Q2 loss of $0.38 per share, significantly wider than the consensus estimate of -$0.12, on revenue of just $113,000 versus the $200,000 expected, as the Cape Station project remains under construction with initial power delivery anticipated by year-end.
