IREN Ltd (NASDAQ:IREN) reports Fiscal Q2 2026 earnings after market close today at 4:00 PM ET. The stock has been on a wild ride, up 273% over the past year but down 31% in the past week heading into the print.

Subscription & Support, which generates 95.5 percent of the company's total revenue with $10.7 billion, saw 13 percent growth on an annual basis. Each segment within this division is now called Agentforce, a clear move to place AI even more centrally in external communications.

That revenue figure represents roughly 5% year-over-year growth. For context, Q1 delivered $1.00 in EPS, so Wall Street is modeling modest sequential improvement. Full-year guidance matters more. Management previously set FY2026 revenue at $59-60 billion and EPS at $4.00-4.06. Any adjustment to those ranges will reset sentiment fast. The company has beaten estimates in eight consecutive quarters, averaging a 3.3% surprise. The streak has built credibility, but it also raises the bar.

The Turnaround Thesis: What Analysts See The bull case rests on Q3 2025's surprise beat. Unity Software ( NYSE:U) posted $0.20 earnings per share against expectations of a $0.23 loss, a 187% beat marking the first profitable quarter in recent memory.

The Direxion NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Shares ( NASDAQ:QQQE) doesn't generate income the way traditional dividend ETFs do. With just $1.2 billion in assets and a 0.35% expense ratio, this fund tracks the NASDAQ-100 using equal weighting rather than market cap weighting. That structural difference means each of the 100 holdings gets roughly 1% of the portfolio instead of letting mega-caps dominate. The result is a growth-focused ETF where dividends are secondary.
