Wells Fargo Initiates Coverage on Cipher Digital with Overweight Rating and $25 Price Target
Wells Fargo initiated coverage on Cipher Digital (CIFR) with an overweight rating and a price target of $25, implying approximately 50% upside from the stock's closing price of $16.72 as of September 16. The firm highlighted significant AI-related contracts that could add value to CIFR shares. These include a $3 billion deal signed in September 2025 with Fluidstack and a $5.5 billion, 15-year agreement inked in November 2025 with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Despite pivoting from Bitcoin mining to AI operations, Cipher Digital still maintains some Bitcoin-related activities. The company reported Q2 2026 financial results showing $24.83 million in Bitcoin mining revenue and a loss of $0.65 per share. As of June 30, it held 37,802 BTC on its balance sheet. Wells Fargo characterized Cipher Digital as a high-risk, high-reward investment with significant upside potential if the company can successfully execute its AI-focused pipeline.
