Investing.com - BTIG raised its price target on IREN Ltd. (NASDAQ:IREN) to $32.00 from $22.00 on Wednesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The stock currently trades near $31, close to its 52-week high of $31.95, representing a strong 180% return over the past year. According to InvestingPro data, analysts maintain a Strong Buy consensus with price targets ranging from $23 to $36.
The price target increase follows IREN’s recent announcement that it began expanding its GPU portfolio in July with the purchase of approximately 9,000 GPUs from Nvidia, increasing its owned GPU fleet to around 10,900 units.
This expansion represents a five-fold increase from the approximately 2,000 GPUs IREN deployed in early 2024, with the new units to be operated at the company’s Prince George facility in Canada, which has capacity for approximately 20,000 GPUs.
BTIG noted that at IREN’s Childress facility in West Texas, which has approximately 750MW of total power capacity, management continues to work with potential colocation partners despite earlier announcing plans to build a 50MW HPC building on speculation.
IREN has projected a 2025 annual revenue exit rate from its AI cloud business of $200-250 million, compared to fiscal year 2025 revenue of approximately $16 million.
