Stock Track | IREN Ltd Plummets 6.01% Intraday on Bitcoin Weakness and Profit-Taking After Recent Rally

Stock Track
May 29

IREN Ltd's stock experienced a significant intraday decline of 6.01% on Thursday, reflecting negative sentiment in the cryptocurrency and AI infrastructure sectors.

The stock's decline appears to be driven by two primary factors. First, Bitcoin prices slid below $73,000 amid reports of new U.S. strikes against Iran, creating negative sentiment for cryptocurrency-related companies like IREN that operate Bitcoin mining data centers. Second, the pullback likely represents profit-taking following IREN's substantial 28.7% rally earlier in the week after the company announced a $1.6 billion deal to purchase Nvidia Blackwell systems from Dell Technologies.

Despite the intraday decline, analyst sentiment toward IREN remains mixed with Goldman Sachs recently raising its price target on the stock while maintaining a Neutral rating. The company's strategic pivot from Bitcoin mining toward AI infrastructure with contracted cloud revenue continues to shape its investment narrative, though execution risks and market volatility remain key considerations for investors.
