SINGAPORE, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAIHEAT Limited (“SAIHEAT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SAIH, SAITW), today announces that uSmart Securities has updated its coverage of the Company, reaffirming its BUY rating on SAIHEAT and raising the 12-month price target to $31.32, up from $25.87.

Key Drivers for Valuation Upgrade:
1. SMR Patent Achievement: On May 14, 2025, SAIHEAT received patent approval for its innovative small modular reactors (SMRs) control rod drive mechanism, enhancing precision and safety in compact nuclear systems and strengthening its intellectual property portfolio.
2. U.S. Nuclear Policy Reforms: President Trump’s executive orders on May 24, 2025 simplified nuclear licensing, facilitated testing at Department of Energy laboratories, and prioritized reactor deployment on federal land, thereby removing regulatory barriers and expanding growth opportunities for domestic SMR companies like SAIHEAT.
3. Cryptocurrency and AI Infrastructure Demand: The recent surge in Bitcoin prices (up 26% since April 1, 2025) and the passage of the GENIUS Act on May 19, 2025 have increased demand for energy-efficient computing. SAIHEAT’s integrated liquid cooling and heat recovery solutions are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
Operational and Strategic Positioning:
SAIHEAT’s fiscal year 2024 financial results met expectations, reporting revenue of $5.54 million (as compared to $5.45 million estimate), though R&D investments contributed to a net loss of $5.89 million. The Company’s integration of AI data centers, Bitcoin mining infrastructure, and advanced nuclear energy systems allows it to monetize cross-sector demand effectively. Its containerized IDC solutions and liquid cooling platforms are gaining traction, with pilot deployments set to transition into full contracts amid the AI and Bitcoin boom.
Analyst Insight:
Chan Kwok Keung, Head of TMT Research at uSmart Securities, remarked in the research report:
“SAIHEAT has evolved from a niche SMR player to a comprehensive computing infrastructure operator at the intersection of AI, clean energy, and digital assets. Recent patent advancements and favorable policies de-risk its growth trajectory, while its valuation (approximately 0.3x FY26E P/S) remains significantly discounted compared to peers like OKLO (+139%) and NuScale (+143%). The market is undervaluing its potential in high-growth, policy-aligned sectors."
Valuation Context:
uSmart's raised target price of $31.32 considers sector re-rating momentum, with nuclear-themed compute peers substantially outperforming broader indices. SAIHEAT’s unique growth potential, intellectual property advantages, and visibility into resilient energy infrastructure demand justify this valuation upgrade.
