Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The report strengthens liquidity visibility (cash, DOE advances, ATM), enhances funding certainty for Capex, and sets explicit near-term milestones (energization Q4 2026, mechanical completion 2027). Positive revisions or progress toward these milestones typically support a near-term equity re-rating, though dilution risk from warrants and convertible debt could cap upside.
