Iron Mountain's shares rose 3.03%, reaching a 20-day high, closing at $89.50, marking a seven-day consecutive gain with a total increase of 7.15% over the previous six sessions, indicating sustained market confidence.
Despite mixed analyst ratings, with Seeking Alpha assigning a Strong Sell rating while Wall Street analysts remain bullish, Iron Mountain's stock has shown strong year-to-date performance, increasing nearly 7%, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 2% rise. This divergence in analyst outlook reflects differing views on the company's future potential, particularly as concerns over valuation arise amid the AI bubble's partial deflation.
The sustained gains suggest that investor confidence remains strong, but the mixed analyst ratings indicate potential volatility ahead. Investors should monitor the company's performance closely, especially in light of the evolving market conditions.
Wall Street analysts forecast IRM stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for IRM is 124.50 USD with a low forecast of 111.00 USD and a high forecast of 139.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Overweight
Reason
Wells Fargo keeps an Overweight rating and $125 price target on Iron Mountain. The firm is defending the stock following the Gotham City's public short report, noting that the material "lacks any real new insights we haven't already heard in the past", the analyst tells investors in a research note. Investors are well aware the volumes in the company's more mature North America physical storage business are slightly negative, and the report will be just a "momentary distraction" that will be forgotten about as Iron Mountain continues to compound over 10% growth, the firm added.
