IREN Limited's stock fell sharply after reporting a $684 million loss, mainly due to non-cash write-downs from its Bitcoin mining hardware. Despite this, Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani set a high price target of $100, implying about 182% upside, based on IREN's transition to AI cloud infrastructure with strong contracts from Microsoft and NVIDIA. The company’s AI cloud revenue is growing rapidly, and management expects $4 billion in contracted annual recurring revenue by the end of 2026. The stock remains volatile as investors weigh the risks of execution delays and capital needs against the potential for significant growth in AI data center operations.
