Fervo Energy (NASDAQ:FRVO) Posts Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.29 EPS

Fervo Energy (NASDAQ:FRVO) issued its earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported ($0.38) earnings per share for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of ($0.09) by ($0.29), FiscalAI reports. The company had revenue of $0.11 million during the quarter.

Here are the key takeaways from Fervo Energy’s conference call:

• Pipeline expanded significantly: Fervo advanced eight GeoBlocks totaling 400 MW into advanced development, moved 10.5 GW into early development, and increased its geothermal mineral rights to more than 650,000 acres. Signed PPAs now total 658 MW, representing a $7.2 billion revenue backlog.
• Cape Station remains on schedule: Mechanical completion was achieved for GeoBlocks 1 and 2, with first power from GeoBlock 1 targeted for Q4 2026 and GeoBlocks 2 and 3 expected to begin producing in early 2027. Management raised its 2030 installed-capacity expectation to 1.1 GW from 1 GW.
• Drilling performance continues to improve: The Sawtooth 7 well reached nearly 19,500 feet and 460°F in a record 21 days, while the hotter, longer Fervo 3.0 design is expected to generate more power per well at lower cost. Management continues to target approximately $5,500 per kilowatt for Cape Phase II, with a long-term goal of $3,000 per kilowatt.
• 2027 revenue may be constrained by transmission curtailments: Fervo expects $60 million to $80 million of revenue in 2027, though it emphasized this is not formal guidance. Potential curtailments related to another asset being added to the transmission network could reduce revenue despite the company’s projects operating as expected.
• Capital spending and losses remain substantial: Second-quarter net loss was $55.9 million, while capital expenditures reached $226.5 million; Fervo expects another $850 million to $900 million of capital spending in the second half of 2026. The company had $2.1 billion in cash following its May Nasdaq listing, which raised approximately $2.04 billion in net proceeds.
