The purchase of 21.5 million shares of T1 Energy by Encompass Capital Advisors is a noteworthy event. The buy meant Encompass raised its stake from 1% of assets under management in the third quarter to 9.5% in Q4, catapulting T1 Energy to the fund’s top holding.
This suggests Encompass has a bullish outlook towards T1 Energy. It’s understandable to see why given the rise of artificial intelligence.
AI requires massive amounts of computing capacity, and this has necessitated the construction of data centers. These facilities require energy to operate, resulting in demand for T1 Energy’s products.
The company’s share price is down from the 52-week high of $9.78 reached in January. While its forward price-to-sales ratio is up from a year ago, it’s dropped from the peak reached towards the end of 2025. So now is not a bad time to buy shares, given the potential revenue growth T1 Energy could achieve in the coming years.
