$VIVO reminds me of a baby
$WYFI.
WhiteFiber had two divisions, colo and HPC cloud. They pivoted to emphasize colo after the unit economics made more sense. They had similar small sites and landed several big clients like Cerebras, Nscale, and Modal Labs. Colo revenue grew 190% YoY last quarter.
VivoPower is running the same playbook, just earlier in the cycle.
They just acquired a 41.5MW operational data center in Mo i Rana, Norway, hydro-powered at under $0.035/kWh. That’s some of the cheapest power for any data center in Europe. There’s another 40MW of expansion capacity on top of that. They’re already doing $31M in revenue and $10M in EBITDA off this one site.
They ran a formal RFP for AI tenants and the response was apparently stronger than expected. Multiple acquisition offers came in too, they turned them all down because they think the long-term lease economics are worth more. Smart. That’s the same bet WhiteFiber made early on.
The pipeline is what makes this interesting. They have 8 sites under negotiation in Finland (291MW of powered land) and another site under development in the UAE. The “sovereign AI” angle, partnering with nations that want domestic compute infrastructure, gives them a lane that most small-cap data center names don’t have.
Market cap is around $105M. They raised $30M via PIPE in February at a $6.80 conversion price from Blue Sky Capital and GCC sovereign family offices. For context,
$WYFI is at $1.15B doing ~$83M TTM revenue.
$VIVO is at a fraction of that valuation with a real asset, real revenue, and a tenant pipeline that’s about to convert.
The risk is execution. They need to finalize these tenant agreements, target is end of June. They need the Finland sites to progress. And they’re still a micro-cap with all the liquidity risk that comes with it.
But if they land quality tenants on long-term contracts the way WhiteFiber did with Nscale and
$CBRS, this re-rates.
A deal with
$NBIS or Nscale would absolutely send it.
