On August 28, IREN Ltd fell 6.8% in regular trading, trading at $37.30/share, with turnover of $252 million. The decline follows the company's fiscal Q4 earnings release after market close the prior day, which significantly missed analyst expectations on both top and bottom lines.
IREN reported Q4 revenue of $137.2 million, down approximately 26.75% year-over-year from $187.3 million, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $142.32 million by 3.6%. Adjusted EPS came in at a loss of $0.74 per share, far worse than the consensus estimate of -$0.49, representing a 51% miss. While the revenue figure exceeded the FactSet estimate of $132.3 million, the sharp year-over-year decline and widening per-share losses triggered significant selling pressure.
Heading into the report, institutional sentiment had been overwhelmingly bullish with 100% buy ratings, and the market had high expectations for the company's AI cloud delivery following its completion of the Horizon 1 Microsoft data center and NVIDIA Exemplar Cloud certification. The gap between elevated expectations and actual results amplified the negative reaction.
