Hm, that’s not how it looks like to me? Look at the 6-months plot:
The latest growth spurt started January 14th, well before the Stargate news went public, and this seems like just its straight-line continuation. The graph past the Stargate announcement doesn’t look “special” at all. Arguably, we can interpret it as Stargate being part of the reference class of events that are currently driving GE Vernova up – not an outside-context event as such, but still relevant...
Except for the fact that the market indeed did not respond to Stargate immediately. Which makes me think it didn’t react at all, and the next bump you’re seeing is some completely different thing from the reference class of GE-Vernova-raising events (to which Stargate itself does not in fact belong).
Which is probably just something to do with Trump’s expected policies. Note that there was also a jump on November 4th. Might be some general expectation that he’s going to compete with China regarding energy, or that he’d cut the red tape on building plants for his tech backers.
In which case, perhaps it’s because Stargate was already priced-in – or at least whichever fraction of Stargate ($30-$100 billion?) is real and is actually going to be realized. We already knew datacenters of this scale were going to be built this year, after all.
