Polibeli Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:PLBL) stock traded higher Thursday after the company announced an artificial intelligence computing services agreement with a Taiwan-based customer.
The agreement could generate up to $448.5 million in base AI service fees over five years under a hypothetical full-capacity scenario. However, the company cautioned that the amount does not represent guaranteed revenue or confirmed orders.
AI Computing Agreement Targets Five-Year Opportunity
Polibeli said its indirect subsidiary signed an AI Computing and Related Technical Services Framework Agreement with a company incorporated in Taiwan on Nov. 12.
The agreement covers several AI-related services, including cloud computing, AI model hosting, model access, inference, deployment and technical support.
The companies will determine specific services, pricing, delivery terms and access methods through separate purchase orders.
The agreement establishes a framework for future business but does not guarantee any purchases.
$448.5 Million Potential Comes With Major Conditions
Polibeli estimated that base AI service fees could reach approximately $448.5 million if the customer subscribes to all available computing capacity.
The calculation also assumes the companies sign the necessary purchase orders and provide services for their full five-year terms.
The estimate excludes applicable taxes and additional fees for optional AI technical services.
However, Polibeli emphasized that the figure is not committed revenue, an order backlog or a revenue forecast.
Actual purchases and service fees could be substantially lower. The company also warned that no purchase orders may be signed.

Execution Risks Remain
The agreement includes provisions covering service levels, confidentiality, data security, export controls and contract termination.
Polibeli identified several risks that could affect the arrangement, including customer demand, funding availability, computing resources and AI model licensing.
Supplier performance, cybersecurity issues and regulatory restrictions could also affect service delivery.
The company said there is no assurance that services will begin, continue for the full five-year period or generate the estimated fees.
The announcement marks a potential expansion of Polibeli’s AI computing services business, although future revenue depends on signed orders and successful execution.
PLBL Price Action: Polibeli Group shares were up 22.59% at $5.57 at the time of publication on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
Trading volume reached approximately 751,214 shares, or 3.57 times the 100-day average of 210,615 shares, signaling heightened investor interest following the AI computing agreement announcement.
