AI Power Infrastructure Stocks: Reasons for $380 Billion Disappearance in One Day

Solaris Energy Infrastructure Inc. (NYSE: SEI) closed at $73.26 on the New York Stock Exchange, tumbling 6.77% on a trading volume exceeding 2.36 million shares. The company’s market capitalization fell to roughly $4.29 billion (about ₩6 trillion), wiping out approximately $270 million (around ₩380 billion) in value in a single day.

In its recent first-quarter results, Solaris Energy Infrastructure reported quarterly revenue of about $196 million and profit growth, prompting it to raise its guidance. Buoyed by strong AI-related demand, it delivered a first-quarter earnings surprise that caught investors’ attention. At the same time, the company is leveraging the surge in data-center and AI power needs through an aggressive expansion strategy—including around $2 billion in financing, major power-supply contracts, and the acquisition of power-generation assets.
