"Shares of IREN are down roughly 9% in early Monday trading to $55.83, giving back a chunk of Friday's powerful rally. The move follows Friday's 8% surge to $61.20, which was triggered by a landmark AI cloud partnership with NVIDIA. Profit-takers are clearly stepping in after a parabolic run. IREN stock is still up 66% over the past month heading into today's session."
"Friday's catalyst was a transformational announcement. IREN unveiled a $3.4 billion AI cloud contract with NVIDIA alongside a $2.1 billion share purchase option for NVIDIA with a five-year exercise window at $70 per share. The strategic goal is large. The companies are targeting up to 5 gigawatts of computing capacity, marking IREN's pivot from legacy Bitcoin mining to AI and high-performance computing."
"However, the bullish narrative is colliding with sobering Q3 FY2026 results. IREN reported a net loss of $247.8 million on revenue of $144.8 million, with Bitcoin revenues down 34% quarter over quarter. That tension between long-duration AI economics and a shrinking legacy business is what bears are leaning on this morning."
"Layered on top of the NVIDIA news is a fresh acquisition. IREN announced a deal for Nostrum Group, which adds 490 MW to its power portfolio and provides an entry point into the European market. The capacity addition is meaningful in absolute terms and diversifies geographic exposure beyond IREN's North American footprint."
IREN shares dropped about 9% to $55.83 after a Friday rally that lifted the stock roughly 8% to $61.20. The decline followed profit-taking after a parabolic move, while early trading showed steady supply with opening prints near $55.21 and an intraday low around $55.04. The prior surge was driven by a $3.4 billion AI cloud contract with NVIDIA and a $2.1 billion share purchase option for NVIDIA with a five-year exercise window at $70 per share. The partnership targets up to 5 gigawatts of computing capacity and supports a shift from legacy Bitcoin mining toward AI and high-performance computing. Recent results showed a net loss of $247.8 million on $144.8 million revenue, with Bitcoin revenues down 34% quarter over quarter. IREN also announced an acquisition of Nostrum Group, adding 490 MW and expanding into Europe.
