Reason

Needham raised the firm's price target on Riot Platforms (RIOT) to $30 from $28 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm cites the company having signed a 25MW lease with AMD (AMD) at its newly acquired Rockdale site where it previously did not have full land ownership, and while the lease economics are significantly lower than peers, the yield on cost is attractive as capex is expected to be only $3.6m/MW, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Buy

Reason

BTIG reiterates a Buy rating on Riot Platforms (RIOT) with a $28 price target after the company announced a colocation lease with AMD (AMD). While the pricing on a per megawatt year basis is lower than previous contracts seen, Riot is paying significantly less in capex than the market standard as it is leveraging existing infrastructure at the site, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BTIG says that with the Rockdale land now owned and soon to be generating high performance compute revenue, Riot has two blue chip data center locations with roughly 1 gigawatt of additional IT capacity to be contracted. It sees the company becoming the "dominant" HPC infrastructure provider. Riot is a top pick in the first half of 2026 at BTIG.

Overweight

Reason

Cantor Fitzgerald raised the firm's price target on Riot Platforms (RIOT) to $31 from $25 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Riot on Friday announced it has acquired the land of its Rockdale location and signed a data center lease agreement with AMD (AMD), which could be the first of many deals that Riot could land, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Cantor thinks the likelihood of AMD excercising its options for 175 MW of additional capacity will increase as the capacity begins to come online.
