Volato Group shares surge following major AI infrastructure deal
Volato Group's stock surged approximately 123% in premarket trading after its Alignment Engine unit secured a $1.17 billion four-year contract for AI infrastructure with an unnamed large customer. The agreement involves deploying AMD GPUs at the company’s planned Ohio AI campus, starting with MI355X units by December 31, 2026, followed by MI455X models from June 30, 2027. The deal includes $133 million in prepayments, including about $40 million after the first order. The remaining contract value will be paid over four years under a take-or-pay arrangement, providing financial stability for Volato Group. This significant win highlights growing demand for AI infrastructure and positions Alignment Engine as a key player in supporting large-scale AI operations. The deal is expected to drive substantial revenue growth and validate the company’s strategic focus on expanding its data center capabilities.
