BKV Jumps 9% as Hyperscaler Backs 1,200MW Texas Power Equipment Deal
BKV sits 20% above its 52-week low of $20.08.
Summary
BKV shares rose 9.3% to $24.11 after the company disclosed new terms on its 1,200 MW natural gas-fired power equipment contract for a Texas project. The unnamed investment-grade hyperscaler, which is also the intended off-taker, will reimburse roughly 90% of BKV's long-lead equipment procurement costs through March 31, 2027. Equipment deliveries are set to begin in September 2028. This follows the $800 million supply contract signed October 2 and the $575 million convertible notes offering closed in September, which funded the Barnett Shale acquisition and power buildout. The hyperscaler's cost reimbursement materially de-risks the project's upfront capital outlay.
At the time of this announcement, BKV was trading at $24.19 on NYSE in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.6B.
