By early 2027, Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (NYSE:AESI) expects deploying around 400MW, including 190MW of Moser assets. The company has estimated a demand opportunity of 2 GW, with 50% of that coming from data centers, 40% from commercial and industrial uses, and 10% from oil and gas.

That said, the company’s core oilfield services segment faces difficulties, which led to a 30% EBITDA miss for the quarter. With earnings per share of -$0.19, Atlas reported a net loss that came in considerably lower than the projected $1.07. The company’s revenue, which came in at $259.6 million against the anticipated $237.1 million, topped forecasts despite this earnings shortfall.
