Underweight
Reason
JPMorgan raised the firm's price target on Iren to $39 from $28 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. The "flurry of deal activity" in high performance compute gives JPMorgan higher conviction in the bitcoin miners. It cites richer integrated cloud valuation assumptions for the target boost.

Reason
Citizens JMP analyst Greg Miller initiated coverage of Iren with an Outperform rating and $80 price target. The firm launched coverage of five companies previously in bitcoin mining, saying they provide "critically-scarce" power supply for high performance compute and artificial intelligence. The deployment of graphics processing unit clusters represents an opportunity to "unlock significant value," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citizens sees strong pricing trends with a continued supply/demand imbalance for the group.

Cantor Fitzgerald lowered the firm's price target on Iren (IREN) to $136 from $142 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The centerpiece of Iren's earnings was its newly announced five-year, $9.7B deal with Microsoft (MSFT) for 200 MW of IT load at its Childress, Texas site, positioning the company as one of the world's largest emerging neocloud providers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. With significant remaining capacity and heightened credibility from the Microsoft partnership, additional large-scale deals appear likely in the near-term, Cantor says.
