The bitcoin miner turned AI data center developer, $DGXX, is at $2.13/share, down 46.3% since my August 16 update. Since then, it got a $200M debt commitment, syndicated by $GS, to finish its Alabama AI data center, and said Phase 1 (December) and Phase 2 (March 2027) remain on target. That’s good news if the loan closes (expected within 90 days), since I said in August it would decide whether $DGXX can fund the rest of the build with debt or has to keep selling stock. CEO Michel Amar told Frank Curzio of Curzio Research in a November 2 interview that debt financing “seems to be a little bit scarce these days” and has slowed $DGXX down. Regardless, he said all the equipment for both phases is already bought, with the chillers installed. With ~$135M of cash as of October 13 and no debt at June 30, $DGXX’s EV is ~$81M. Amar also said he wants $DGXX at $500M+ of yearly revenue within 36 months, with its leased data center business earning ~60% EBITDA margins and ~25% cash flow margins after debt service. As of August, only ~$140M of the $250-300M of ARR it targets by Q3 2027 was contracted. $DGXX has used $174.5M of its $175M ATM program, and its share count has been flat at 101.4M since August 14. So if the loan falls through, selling more stock would take a new filing. The October 13 release also says $DGXX sold no ATM shares in Q3, though its Q2 10-Q shows it sold 2.85M after June 30 at an average of $3.95, well below the stock’s $5.45 close on June 30. So I’d track dilution through the share count in the Q3 10-Q, not management’s comments. Its November 2 proxy also asks shareholders to expand its stock award pools to 20.3M shares from 16.3M (20% of shares outstanding), with 11.9M free for new grants, after Amar and his son, President Alec Amar, were awarded a combined $19.5M in 2025 (~9% of today’s market cap), mostly in stock and options. That’s more dilution than I’d like after the share count rose 46% this year, to 101.4M from 69.4M at the end of 2025, and the proxy would also let the board raise the RSU pool 10%/year from 2028 without another shareholder vote. Both Amars have bought $166K of stock in the open market since August, most recently 20,000 shares at $2.76 by Michel Amar on October 14, but that’s small next to the $19.5M they were awarded in 2025. Q3 results come out November 13.

$DRVN Full year numbers DIDNT CHANGE in our view. They mentioned restatement costs of at least $50mm and the midpoint of restatement before was 40... My guess is incremental restatement cost is 10-20.. So if the restatement is high might have even been a beat... Take 5 comp was 4.9 pct and holding two year stack in 4q would imply 8.5 pct... this seems like a kitchen sink to me. Franchise brands and auto glass both look good too.
