TeraWulf Inc. experienced a price decline of 5.01%, crossing below the 5-day SMA, amid a mixed market backdrop where the Nasdaq-100 rose by 0.42% and the S&P 500 increased by 0.02%.
This decline comes despite a recent upgrade from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, which raised TeraWulf's rating from Market Perform to Outperform and increased the price target from $9.50 to $24. This upgrade reflects strong analyst confidence in the company's future performance, which has led to a positive market reaction, with TeraWulf's stock price previously rising by 2.78% to $11.47. Investors are also anticipating TeraWulf's upcoming earnings report on February 27, 2026, where earnings per share are expected to be -$0.15, down from -$0.08 last year, while revenue is projected to grow from $34.98 million to $44.26 million.
The upgrade and positive outlook from analysts may bolster investor confidence in TeraWulf, particularly as the company is positioned within the renewable energy sector, which could attract further capital inflows and enhance market visibility.

According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for WULF is 21.93 USD with a low forecast of 17.00 USD and a high forecast of 26.00 USD.

Reason
Keefe Bruyette upgraded TeraWulf to Outperform from Market Perform with a price target of $24, up from $9.50. The firm believes investors are underestimating the magnitude of TeraWulf's bitcoin mining to high performance compute leasing mix shift in 2026 and 2027. The company's existing leases can drive 505% annual EBITDA growth through 2027 and a "positive inflection" in pre-tax return on invested capital, enabling multiple expansion, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Keefe sees a "compelling risk/reward asymmetry" at current share levels.

Rosenblatt lowered the firm's price target on TeraWulf to $20 from $24 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Stubbornly high network competition has been an issue for Bitcoin miners throughout 2025 and the situation has "gone from bad to worse" with the sharp drop in BTC, the analyst tells investors. Although pure play miners will remain under pressure, the impact is limited for high-performance computing plays given "entirely uncorrelated and considerably more profitable HPC hosting opportunities," the analyst added.
