On May 8, IREN Ltd rose 9.44% in pre-market trading, trading at $61.7/share, with trading volume of $14.51 million. The surge was driven by NVIDIA's announcement that it will invest up to $2.1 billion in IREN, significantly boosting market confidence in the company's growth prospects.
The NVIDIA investment marks a major endorsement of IREN's data center infrastructure capabilities. Additionally, multiple positive catalysts have converged in recent days: on May 5, IREN announced the acquisition of cloud infrastructure services provider Mirantis for approximately $625 million in stock, enhancing its AI cloud deployment and operational capabilities. Meanwhile, IREN's 1.4-gigawatt Sweetwater 1 data center in Texas has been successfully energized and connected to the grid, providing critical power capacity for AI workloads. The combination of strategic investment, acquisition expansion, and infrastructure milestones has driven sustained upward momentum in the stock.
