Core Scientific Secures $1B Financing For AI Datacenters
Core Scientific Inc. secured $1 billion in financing to accelerate its pivot to AI data centers, lifting its Benzinga Edge momentum score to 91.00 week-over-week. The funding includes an initial $500 million from Morgan Stanley and coincides with BTIG upgrading the stock to Buy with a $23 price target. The company’s valuation metrics (about $4 million per megawatt versus $7 million peers) and a 106.95% year-over-year gain highlight investor interest.
