On July 1, IREN Ltd fell 5.47% in regular trading, trading around $43.71 per share, with turnover of approximately $3.79 billion. The decline extends the post-index-inclusion selloff that has persisted since late June.
On the news front, IREN officially announced its addition to the Russell 1000 Index, effective after market close on June 26. Typically, passive funds front-run index inclusion by purchasing shares ahead of the effective date, which drives prices higher. Once the rebalancing is complete, buying pressure subsides and early investors take profits. IREN rallied to $52.5 on June 25 before reversing sharply, falling 5.11% on June 26 and another 5.1% on June 29 to $45.09, with the current session representing a further leg lower in this adjustment pattern.
Despite near-term technical pressure, the company has recently secured significant business milestones including a $3.65 billion investment-grade GPU financing facility, a $1.6 billion purchase agreement with Dell for Blackwell systems, and the acquisition of Nostrum Group to expand its AI cloud platform into Europe. Analyst consensus remains overweight with a mean price target of approximately $83.79.
