IREN Ltd shares fell 7.56% to $32.17 on Tuesday as the initial excitement surrounding a reported Anthropic cloud deal faded without a confirmed contract. The decline extends a steep slide that has seen the stock drop 16.7% over the last eight sessions.
What Happened
The primary driver for the move was the dissipation of buzz around an unconfirmed report naming Anthropic as a customer. The report provided a customer name but lacked an attached contract, leading to a reversal in sentiment. In related news, IREN announced that its Redbank campus would add 900MW to its plans, potentially lifting its Australian development pipeline to 1.7GW. However, power for this expansion is not yet secured, with construction expected in phases over six to eight years. The stock also traded alongside other AI data center developers, including Cipher Digital and Applied Digital, which both declined in the same session.
What The Data Shows
The stock opened at $34.42, a 1.1% gap down from the prior close of $34.80. It hit a session high of $34.44 at 7:00 AM ET before sliding to a low of $32.07 at 9:35 AM ET. Volume stood at 5.6 million shares, which is 0.1 times the three-month daily average. Fundamentals show a market cap of $13.7 billion with a trailing twelve-month EPS of negative $2.22. Revenue grew 41.1% over the same period, but the net margin was negative 99.4%. The stock has a beta of 4.27 and a 52-week range of $28.93 to $76.87. On October 14, 2026, the stock printed one fresh 52-week high and seven fresh 52-week lows. Unusual options activity included six notable prints with call premium of $8.5 million versus put premium of $853,000.
What To Watch
Twenty-two analysts currently back the stock with a moderate buy rating, though concerns regarding valuation and execution remain. Investors will monitor the company's ability to secure power for its expanded pipeline and confirm any formal agreements with major AI customers.
