Shares of Fluence Energy Inc. (FLNC) soared more than 43% on Monday, marking the stock’s highest single-day gain on record, and extended gains after hours as the company was identified as a key partner in a new AI factory reference architecture built around Nvidia Corp.’s (NVDA) Vera Rubin platform.
Retail interest in the company soared following the announcement, with message volumes surging a whopping 30,300% in the past 24 hours, according to Stocktwits data.
Investors are eyeing further upside in the stock’s price, with some users comparing it to clean-technology company Bloom Energy Corp. (BE).
Fluence Energy was named the exclusive energy storage partner in a new AI factory reference architecture developed by Nvidia, in collaboration with Siemens, for data centers powered by Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform.
As part of the deal, Fluence will supply its SmartStack battery energy storage system to provide backup power, grid support, demand response, and load-smoothing capabilities to help the AI data centers operate reliably.
Siemens’ reference design will provide an end-to-end electrical, power and controls solution, spanning the complete path from the utility connection to medium-voltage distribution, modular low-voltage power blocks, and to the rack interface.
“Our Smartstack platform is central to this new architecture, transforming the grid into an accelerator for compute,” Fluence Energy CEO Jeff Monday said in a statement.
While the partnership does not include exclusive terms or immediate revenue commitments, it positions Fluence to benefit from growing investment in AI data center infrastructure, building on the company's recent supply agreements with hyperscale customers.
Canaccord Genuity reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating on the company’s shares following the announcement and maintained a $28 price target on Fluence Energy, according to a report from Investing.com.
