A Look At Solaris Energy Infrastructure (SEI) Valuation As Data Center Power Role Expands And Execution Risks Loom

Simply Wall St · 6d ago

Recent commentary on Solaris Energy Infrastructure (SEI) has focused on its role in supplying off grid power to data centers, with roughly 900 MW of open capacity that could be contracted in the coming year.

See our latest analysis for Solaris Energy Infrastructure.

At a latest share price of $52.9, Solaris Energy Infrastructure has seen a 5.25% 1 day share price return and 14.75% 7 day share price return, alongside a 1 year total shareholder return of 83.5% and a very large 5 year total shareholder return. This suggests recent momentum is building on an already strong longer term record as investors weigh data center growth potential against execution risks around permitting, land and infrastructure buildout.

If Solaris’s data center opportunity has caught your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is out there with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as a starting point.

With SEI trading at $52.9 after an 83.5% 1 year total return and a very large 5 year record, investors now have to ask whether there is still value left or the market is already pricing in future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 18.1% Undervalued

With Solaris Energy Infrastructure last closing at $52.90 against a narrative fair value of $64.60, the valuation case leans toward upside based on projected fundamentals.

The accelerating demand for grid resiliency, electrification of industries, and AI-driven data center power needs is creating strong, ongoing demand for Solaris's modular, scalable power generation solutions, positioning the company for revenue growth as delivery of new capacity ramps through 2026 and beyond.

However, that growth story depends on converting uncontracted capacity into long term deals, as well as keeping project costs, supply chains and permitting delays from eroding margins.

Another View: Rich Market Multiple Raises the Bar

While the narrative fair value suggests SEI is 18.1% undervalued, the current P/E of 71.1x tells a tougher story. That is far above the US Energy Services average of 20.1x and a fair ratio of 26.5x, which points to meaningful valuation risk if expectations slip.
