The sector is weak as CoreWeave reports project delays. Uncertainty is also reflected in other industry players. IREN is in a stronger position in this regard because it owns its entire infrastructure, but the market may not fully price in this advantage.
Iren is in a good position here as a vertically integrated operator with secured energy supply, while competitors’ subcontracting risks and energy availability risks are starting to materialize.
CEO Dan Roberts:
“We have never ever missed a construction or commissioning date in our life as a listed company.”
This too might be good for Iren investors to know. I can say frankly that many large investors are not ‘very thrilled’, especially about Jane Street’s lively investment pot.
Yesterday after the market closed, a new 2MRD convertible was announced. At least some of it will be used to restructure old arrangements (better terms, less dilution), some ‘for something else’.
It hasn’t been long since IREN snagged one of the most advantageous CVs in world history and refused to subscribe for over 1MRD even though it was offered.
Everyone can draw their own conclusions from this, but I’m reasonably sure this is needed for something entirely different than what was already on the calendar.
Edit: Wait a minute .. old CNs are not being bought back for themselves, but are offered to certain institutional buyers (Iren) on better terms / swapped for shares. It looks like this is a 2MRD+ capital raise.
Over the last month, the stock price has been in a slight downward trend. I’m debating with myself whether I should open a position now or wait for a possible further correction. Usually, I’m a bit too greedy and the prices start to rise immediately..
Worth listening to. I learned a few small things in the first half hour:
Microsoft was not leased MW, but a certain amount of compute based on processor count
Horizons will have extra capacity where Rubines can be connected in a ~plug’n play style when they arrive, so it’s built with the capex that was assumed to be part of the MS deal
The pieces are falling into place so well it’s making even the bulls nervous
I tried, but I didn’t believe ‘computing power’ (laskuteho) would be any clearer than ‘compute’. Plug’n play and Capex, on the other hand, I assumed were more established terms. Be careful with your requests, next time it might be ‘dock and play’ + ‘Capital Expenditure’ (PääOkust)
