HIVE Digital Technologies ( (TSE:HIVE) ) has issued an update.

On May 18, 2026, HIVE Digital Technologies, through its subsidiary BUZZ High Performance Computing, announced a major infrastructure investment in Ontario centered on a planned AI “gigafactory” in the Greater Toronto Area with about 320 MW of utility capacity. BUZZ has acquired roughly 25 acres of contiguous land for $58 million, securing a 320 MW power allocation to support fully vertically integrated AI supercomputers capable of hosting more than 100,000 GPUs at full build-out.

The project, targeted to come online in the second half of 2027, is expected to require about CAD $3.5 billion in capital, create over 800 construction jobs and hundreds of permanent high-skill roles, and leverage Ontario’s clean electricity grid with closed-loop, no-water cooling systems. HIVE executives say the GTA facility, part of a global footprint now totaling over 850 MW of power capacity and a pipeline to support about 130,000 GPUs, will anchor a sovereign AI infrastructure network across multiple Canadian provinces, potentially enhancing Canada’s competitiveness in AI and strengthening domestically controlled compute capacity for enterprise, research and public sector applications.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:HIVE) stock is a Hold with a C$3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on HIVE Digital Technologies stock, see the TSE:HIVE Stock Forecast page.
