IREN shares surged 18.64% to $21.39 on Friday, reversing a steep 17% decline from the prior session. The primary driver was a quarterly earnings report that exceeded revenue expectations, alongside a broader relief rally in AI cloud stocks following strong results from peers like Cloudflare.
What Happened
IREN reported first-quarter revenue of $228 million, surpassing the $221 million estimate. The company generated $200 million in AI cloud revenue with an 86% gross margin and $66 million in adjusted EBITDA. Despite the strong top-line performance, the stock had previously suffered a sharp selloff, dropping 34.3% over the last eight sessions to a low of $18.03.
Analyst reactions were mixed following the release. BTIG lowered its price target to $65 from $80, while Goldman Sachs cut its target to $30 from $50. Cantor Fitzgerald maintained an Overweight rating but reduced its target to $47. Some analysts noted that the share price weakness appeared disconnected from the company's fundamentals, particularly given $40 million per megawatt AI deals.
What The Data Shows
The stock opened at $21.26, a 17.9% gap up from the prior close. Intraday trading saw a session high of $21.78 at 9:40 AM ET and a low of $20.18 at 9:30 AM ET. Volume reached 16.8 million shares, which is 0.4 times the three-month daily average.
Fundamentals show a market cap of $8.6 billion. The company remains unprofitable with a trailing twelve-month EPS of -$2.22 and a net margin of -99.4%, though revenue grew 41.1% year-over-year. The stock carries a high beta of 4.33 and trades within a 52-week range of $17.16 to $76.87. Unusual options activity included four notable prints with $3.1 million in call premium versus $1.4 million in put premium. The stock printed two fresh 52-week highs and two fresh 52-week lows on November 6, 2026.
What To Watch
