IREN Limited reported a $638.8 million impairment on older Bitcoin mining equipment, causing its stock to drop 13% and triggering a selloff among AI data center peers like Applied Digital and TeraWulf, which fell around 7%. Despite strong revenue growth and long-term contracts, investors are re-pricing the sector's transition costs and capital expenditure risks. The broader data center ETF fell only 1%, highlighting that the selloff is concentrated in capital-heavy pure-play operators. Investors are advised to monitor stabilization and consider balancing exposure between pure plays and diversified data center funds.
