Situational Awareness LP’s Stake: $44 Million

T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:TE) is a new addition to the 13F portfolio of Situational Awareness LP. The fund declared a new stake in the company in filings for the first quarter of 2026. This stake consists of 10 million shares. The firm provides energy solutions for solar modules and cells in the United States, Norway and internationally. It manufactures and sells photovoltaic solar modules. The share price of the company has surged recently, extending a rally that has pushed the stock up over 122% in the past month. One reason for this is the strong Q1 2026 earnings where the firm reported GAAP EPS of $0.01, beating estimates by $0.15, while revenue jumped 232% year-on-year, topping expectations by $66.88 million.

Investors are also focused on the expansion plans of T1 Energy Inc. (NYSE:TE). For example, construction of the flagship Austin solar cell facility remains on schedule, with first structural steel expected later in May and initial production targeted for Q4 2026. The management said demand for future G1/G2 production already exceeds more than 100% of anticipated 2027-2028 capacity. Institutional sentiment around the shares has improved after the latest disclosures by Leopold Aschenbrenner as well, pushing the firm into the spotlight as media outlets discuss the long-term potential of the stock in light of the bullish bet by Aschenbrenner.
