Headquartered in Sydney, NSW Fiscal year ends June NASDAQ: IREN iren.com
IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud platform delivering data centers, compute, and software for AI training and inference. The company is transitioning from its origins in Bitcoin mining to focus on AI Cloud Services, serving a diversified customer base including hyperscalers like Microsoft, enterprises, AI developers, and frontier labs such as Cohere, Perplexity, and Figure AI. IREN's platform is underpinned by an expansive portfolio of land and grid-connected power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, with a development pipeline exceeding 5GW across sites in Texas, Oklahoma, British Columbia, Australia, and Spain. The company designs and deploys direct-to-chip liquid and air cooling systems, operates GPU cloud infrastructure, and following its acquisitions of Mirantis and Nostrum Group, offers managed services and software capabilities. IREN achieved NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud status on GB300 NVL72 hardware and has secured substantial GPU financing facilities to fund its rapid expansion. Updated
Defense and big pharma own the top of the board at the open, led by Northrop Grumman up 5.36%, with Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck also higher. The pain is concentrated in crypto miners and optics names, where IREN leads the decline.
A fresh 52-week low at $26.99 undercuts the July trough by 7.92%, leaving the miner at a $10.6 billion market cap and well under half its year-ago level. No prior support left on the one-year chart.
Every one of the five worst names at Friday's close was an AI data center or cloud stock, led by CoreWeave's 12.3% drop. The entire winners' list came from energy and defense.
CoreWeave's 6.8% drop anchors a decline list made up entirely of compute and data-center names. Downside is moving roughly three times faster than upside this morning.
Every one of today's five worst performers in a 383-name universe lost double digits, led by CoreWeave's 15.42% drop. The best gain on the other side was capped at 4.62%, so the downside is moving far faster than the upside.
CoreWeave is down 12% at the open, the worst move across the priority universe and a level worth checking before the session settles. Bank of America, sitting exactly at $50, is the blue chip to keep an eye on next.
Same sector, same three years: $10,000 in Iren is worth $108,872 today, while the same bet on Marathon Digital sits at $11,854. Picking the right bitcoin miner mattered nearly 11x more than picking the trade.
Bitcoin miners owned Thursday's close, led by Marathon Digital finishing 13.5% higher, with Cipher Mining and Iren both up 7% or more. Large-cap losses ran heavier than usual, with Qualcomm off 5.66% and General Motors down 4.93%.
Thursday's close split hard along hardware versus software: GoPro added 24.1% and SanDisk, Astera Labs and SK hynix all posted double-digit or near double-digit gains, while Asana, Workday and Snowflake each shed more than 5%. Tesla and Netflix fell with them.
GoPro closed up 43% at 86 cents, a sub-dollar stock swinging harder than anything else in the 111-name priority list. Tesla and SanDisk added better than 5%, while Take-Two led the decliners at 6.5% lower.
