H.C. Wainwright Sticks With Buy Rating, $34 Target for WhiteFiber After Preliminary Q4 Sales Reveal
WYFI

H.C. Wainwright has maintained its Buy rating and $34.00 price target on WhiteFiber Inc (NASDAQ:WYFI) after the company disclosed preliminary fourth-quarter 2025 sales. The firm noted preliminary revenue slightly above its estimate and said it will await the full audited results before revising forecasts. The disclosure coincided with WhiteFiber's upsized $210 million convertible senior notes offering, which H.C. Wainwright described as necessary to build the company's high-performance computing infrastructure.

Key Points

  • H.C. Wainwright reaffirmed a Buy rating and $34.00 price target for WhiteFiber after preliminary Q4 2025 revenue was disclosed in a range of $22.7 million to $25.1 million.
  • WhiteFiber completed an upsized $210 million convertible senior notes offering, priced at 4.5% and maturing in 2031, which H.C. Wainwright said is needed to fund the company's HPC infrastructure development.
  • B.Riley lowered its price target to $40 but kept a Buy rating, citing a revised EBITDA outlook and noting WhiteFiber's co-location deal with Nscale Global Holdings despite a longer-than-expected timeline.

H.C. Wainwright has reaffirmed a Buy rating and a $34.00 price target on WhiteFiber Inc (NASDAQ:WYFI) following the company's preliminary disclosure of fourth-quarter sales for 2025.

In an 8-K filed last Wednesday, WhiteFiber provided a preliminary revenue range for Q4 2025 of $22.7 million to $25.1 million, a topline that sits modestly above H.C. Wainwright's prior estimate of $22.0 million. The research house said it will hold off on altering its models or forecasts until WhiteFiber releases its complete, audited earnings report, which the analyst noted is expected in mid-March based on the company's reporting cadence from the prior year.

The timing of the sales disclosure overlapped with WhiteFiber completing an upsized convertible senior notes offering. The company priced $210 million of convertible senior notes, with a $20 million expansion option, at a 4.5% coupon and a maturity in 2031. H.C. Wainwright characterized the financing as necessary to fund development of WhiteFiber's high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

H.C. Wainwright also flagged a sector-level development, noting the recent more-than-$10 billion deal between OpenAI and Cerebras and suggesting the transaction has significance for the broader market where WhiteFiber operates. The firm did not quantify a direct impact to WhiteFiber but highlighted the deal's relevance for the industry.

Separately, WhiteFiber itself announced preliminary, unaudited financials for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. The company estimated Q4 revenue in the $22.7 million to $25.1 million range and provided a cost of revenue estimate, excluding depreciation, between $7.9 million and $8.7 million for the same period.

Market activity around WhiteFiber also attracted attention from other analysts. B.Riley adjusted its valuation, lowering its price target on WhiteFiber to $40 while maintaining a Buy rating. B.Riley cited a revised EBITDA outlook as the rationale for the lower target and referenced WhiteFiber's recent co-location agreement with Nscale Global Holdings at the NC-1 data center campus. That firm noted the transaction's timeline extended longer than expected but emphasized WhiteFiber's ability to execute.

Taken together, the preliminary revenue figures, the completed convertible offering, and the analyst activity underscore a period of financing and early-stage commercial developments for WhiteFiber. H.C. Wainwright's decision to keep estimates steady until audited results are released reflects a cautious approach to model adjustments despite the slight upside to the firm's prior sales projection.

Risks

  • Pending audited results: H.C. Wainwright will not revise estimates until WhiteFiber issues its full earnings report, creating short-term uncertainty for financial modeling and near-term valuation - impacting equity markets and investors following the stock.
  • Execution and timeline risk: The co-location agreement with Nscale Global Holdings proceeded on a longer-than-expected schedule, indicating potential operational or integration delays that could affect data center and HPC deployment timelines.
  • Financing dependence: WhiteFiber's reliance on the $210 million convertible senior notes offering to finance HPC infrastructure highlights funding risk; capital markets and corporate credit conditions can influence project pacing and deployment in the data center and HPC sectors.
