IREN Stock Plummets 11% After Q2 Earnings Disappointment
IREN shares cratered 11.5% to $39.79 after reporting a $0.52 per-share loss, far exceeding the $0.07 loss analysts anticipated. Revenue of $184.7 million missed consensus estimates by $45 million, triggering a 35% surge in trading volume to 60.4 million shares.
The company's $155.4 million net loss contrasts sharply with last quarter's $384.6 million profit. Despite the miss, analysts maintain a 'Moderate Buy' rating with a $69.36 price target, citing potential upside from rumored Microsoft AI partnerships.
Market observers note IREN's growing correlation with bitcoin volatility and inverse ETF flows—a double-edged sword for the crypto-adjacent stock.
