On August 12, Cipher Mining Inc. rose 5.17% in pre-market trading, trading at $18.09/share, with turnover of $449,900. The stock continued its rebound from the prior session after falling nearly 30% over five consecutive trading days following a significant Q2 earnings miss.
The company reported Q2 earnings per share of -$0.65, far worse than the consensus estimate of -$0.22, representing a 195% miss. Revenue came in at $24.8 million, down 43% year-over-year and well below the $32.5 million estimate. The sharp decline triggered sustained selling pressure before a technical recovery began.
Supporting the rebound, the company's first AI data center — the Black Pearl campus — delivered capacity two months ahead of schedule. Additionally, subsidiary Stingray Compute secured $810 million in senior secured notes at a 6.000% coupon to fund data center construction. Multiple analysts maintain buy ratings with a mean price target of $32, suggesting significant upside from current levels. The transition from bitcoin mining to industrial-scale data center operations appears to provide a fundamental backstop for the near-term technical recovery.
