24/7 Wall St. Price Target Summary

A Year That Rewrote the IREN Story

IREN is having a remarkable year. The stock is up 58.75% year to date, 25.6% over the past month, and trades roughly 5% below its 52-week high of $76.87.

The Q3 FY2026 report on May 7, 2026 looked weak on paper: revenue of $144.8 million missed consensus by 33.97% and the company posted a $247.8 million net loss that included a $140.4 million non-cash impairment on retired mining hardware.

The market looked past it because AI Cloud Services revenue almost doubled sequentially to $33.6 million, and IREN signed a five-year, $3.4 billion AI Cloud contract with NVIDIA. The June 16 acquisition of Spanish developer Ingenostrum added roughly 490 MW of European capacity.

The Case for $125 and Higher

The bull case rests on capacity already under contract. Management is targeting $3.7 billion in ARR by the end of calendar 2026, with $3.1 billion already contracted. The $9.7 billion Microsoft AI Cloud deal, the NVIDIA partnership covering up to 5 GW of DSX-aligned infrastructure, and a $1.6 billion Dell agreement signed May 26 mean roughly 84% of the 2026 ARR target is already locked in.

CEO Daniel Roberts told investors, “There are no idle GPUs“. Our bull-case scenario points to $124.85, or 108% upside, with Jefferies most recently reiterating a Buy at $79 and the high end of Street targets at $105.

The Risks Worth Watching

The bear case starts with capital intensity. IREN carries $3.7 billion in convertible notes, and analysts have flagged a potential $21 billion funding gap to fully execute the global build-out.

Needham cut estimates on June 11 citing a delayed AI revenue ramp, and JP Morgan sits at a bearish $46 target. Customer concentration with Microsoft and NVIDIA is real.

Bulls would counter that the headline net loss is dominated by non-cash impairments on decommissioned ASIC miners and that Adjusted EBITDA of $59.5 million at a 41% margin tells a healthier story. Our bear-case scenario lands at $79.52, which still implies upside from current levels.

IREN Price Prediction 2026-2030

Our 24/7 Wall St. price target is $114.86, our recommendation is buy, and confidence sits at 90%. The tipping factor for me is contracted ARR coverage: with 84% of the 2026 target already booked, the operational risk centers on execution and timing, with demand already in hand.

The setup looks constructive for investors comfortable with a 4.23 beta and seeking exposure to the AI infrastructure buildout. Investors who doubt IREN’s ability to fund the next leg without meaningful dilution may prefer to wait for clarity on financing.

These projections assume IREN continues to convert secured power into contracted ARR on schedule. Significant upside could come from accelerated NVIDIA Vera Rubin deployments at Sweetwater, while regulatory or grid-connection delays in Texas, Spain, or Australia would push the curve lower.
