The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock gained 2.3% on the news that the company announced a multi-year contract to provide accommodations and services supporting power generation expansion in Northern Nevada. The agreement, expected to generate approximately $35 million in revenue over its 25-month term, involved constructing and operating facilities for up to 250 workers. These workers supported the development of mining and data center projects in the area. This contract, set to begin in June 2026, brought Target Hospitality's total for new multi-year agreements announced in 2025 to over $530 million. The company planned to use its existing regional infrastructure for the project.
Target Hospitality is down 15.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $8.22 per share, it is trading 24.3% below its 52-week high of $10.86 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Target Hospitality’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $4,893.
