IREN Limited has been downgraded to Strong Sell because its financial performance is weak and risks are rising. Although its AI cloud revenue exceeded mining revenue, the company's full-year revenue missed estimates and adjusted EBITDA was not enough to cover high stock-based compensation costs. Operating cash flow appears strong due to deferred revenue but masks poor underlying business economics and significant liabilities. Additionally, valuation metrics are unattractive, requiring unrealistic earnings growth and capital expenditures that exceed true cash generation, signaling caution for investors.
