$IREN Ltd(IREN)$ Reports Earnings a few hours ago!
5️⃣ Reasons Why I am Bullish
1/ Scale
While other neo-clouds focus on small data centers of a few hundred MW, $IREN focuses on massive 500MW and 1GW+ scale locations.
Smaller data centers are cheaper, faster, and easier to build, but they are less efficient and more expensive per unit of compute in the long term.
- 750 MW Childress
- 1.6 GW Oklahoma
- 2 GW Sweetwater
4.35 GW of efficient large-scale capacity!
2/ Huge Demand
"We can't meet the demand fast enough," Dan Roberts, $IREN CEO
There is a massive demand for AI computing power, as hyperscalers invest hundreds of billions of dollars.
IREN is perfectly situated to meet that demand.
3/ Focus on Bare Metal over Colocation
"Colocation would be a lot easier, but we don't feel that it is the best value-creating opportunity." Dan Roberts
AI cloud (bare metal) services can generate roughly $10M per megawatt, whereas simply leasing data center space (collocation) only brings in about $1.5-2M.
We can see this in the $Microsoft(MSFT)$ contract.
The deal involves a 200MW deployment and will generate $9.7B over 5 years.
A colocation contract would have been worth just $1.5-2B, 5-6x less.
4/ Competent Leadership
The Roberts brothers are competent leaders whose vision built IREN from scratch into a large-scale, institutional-grade infrastructure company.
They’ve consistently focused on low-cost, renewable-powered operations, which are more resilient and in higher demand.
They also showed strong vision by pivoting from $BTC
to AI when the opportunity presented itself.
This clearly demonstrates strategic adaptability and long-term thinking.
5/ Growing TAM
McKinsey estimates that the global data center capacity will grow by 3.5x by 2030.
124 GW of incremental capacity will be added over the next 5 years.
$IREN is perfectly-positioned to serve this growing TAM.
6/ Bonus Point Valuation
With a 2026 ARR guidance of $3.7B, $IREN trades for 6.5x FWD ARR.
Analyst 2028 estimates are grossly pessimistic, but even looking at them, $IREN trades at 7x 2028 EBITDA.
Considering the growth opportunity, surely a fair multiple should be higher than that.
