Iren Shares Surge 20% Following Strong AI Cloud Revenue Growth
Iren (IREN) shares rose over 20% after the company reported fiscal first-quarter results that exceeded market expectations. A primary driver of the rally was a nearly threefold increase in AI cloud revenue, which reached approximately $200 million out of a total quarterly revenue of $228 million. The company is successfully transitioning its business model from Bitcoin mining to AI cloud infrastructure, with mining now accounting for only 12% of its revenue. Investor confidence was further bolstered by reports that new AI cloud customers are prepaying 90% of chip costs under long-term contracts. This high prepayment rate suggests strong pricing power and capital efficiency. Despite recent market concerns regarding data center growth headwinds in the U.S., Iren's performance helped lift its sector peers, including TeraWulf (WULF) and Cipher Digital (CIFR).
