IREN

A report says IREN has signed a multi-year AI cloud contract with Anthropic; neither IREN nor Anthropic have confirmed the partnership. For the data-centre operator that shifted from Bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure, Anthropic would be a significant customer. IREN’s stock rose about 5–8% in pre-market trading after the report. » Más en finanzen.net

IREN reported $7.6 billion in cash at June end and says existing cash, committed GPU financing and customer prepayments provide roughly $14 billion of funding capacity. Microsoft accepted IREN's first Horizon deployment in August under a multiyear arrangement, while IREN targets about 300 MW of IT load in 2026 and 800 MW in 2027 with fiscal 2027 capex estimated at $25–30 billion. Key risks remain execution, equipment lead times and the possibility that rising project costs or shifting AI demand could undermine returns despite reduced demand uncertainty from Microsoft. » Más en finance.yahoo.com

Iren is shifting from Bitcoin mining toward AI cloud services, reinvesting mining proceeds to build high-performance compute capacity and driving AI cloud revenue roughly eightfold year-over-year. The transition has caused near-term net losses due to platform investments and impairments, but AI revenue has more than doubled over the last two quarters. JPMorgan upgraded Iren to buy and raised its price target, citing customer traction and a strategic alliance with Nvidia as credibility boosters for the company's path to profitability. » Más en finance.yahoo.com
