BTIG reaffirmed its Buy rating on IREN, setting a price target of $80. This follows a similar move by JPMorgan earlier in the week and reflects a growing consensus among analysts that the company is undervalued. The average target across all firms now sits at $84, which is about double the current stock price. While a price target is just an estimate, the consistency among major firms suggests confidence in the company's plan to build out massive data centers for AI. The main focus for the business remains turning its power access and land into working sites that can host chips for big tech customers.

JPMorgan analysts raised their rating on the stock by two levels, moving from a sell-equivalent to a buy. The firm set a price target that suggests the stock could rise about 48 percent from its current level, pointing to the company's progress in building out data centers for AI workloads.
This is a meaningful shift from one of the world's largest banks. It signals growing confidence that IREN can successfully pivot from Bitcoin mining into a major provider of the physical infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence. The upgrade focuses on the company's neocloud business, which rents out powerful chips to other firms, as a primary driver of future value.

IREN's Sweetwater Hub has been conditionally included in the ERCOT Batch Zero process as a base load. ERCOT manages the power grid in Texas, and this designation helps prioritize the project's connection to that grid.
This is a meaningful step for the company because access to power is the primary bottleneck for building the large data centers needed for AI. Securing a spot in this priority group helps ensure the 2-gigawatt site can stay on schedule as IREN works to turn its power access into actual revenue.

Compass Point set its price target for IREN at 85 dollars. This is significantly higher than where the stock currently trades and roughly in line with the average analyst target of 84 dollars. While the stock recently fell after reporting an accounting charge, analysts generally remain focused on the company's shift into AI data centers. The high targets across the board suggest that those following the company closely believe its secured power and data center contracts are worth far more than the market is currently paying.

IREN secured a $2.4 billion financing deal led by Blue Owl Capital to pay for Nvidia hardware. This is a major step in the company's plan to pivot from Bitcoin mining into a provider of the physical infrastructure used to train and run AI models.
This matters because the biggest hurdle for IREN is the high cost of buying thousands of powerful chips. By securing this money through equipment financing, where the hardware itself acts as collateral, the company can grow without having to sell more of its own stock and dilute current shareholders. It provides the clear path to funding the buildout required to hit its revenue targets.
