IREN: ARR Could Grow 6.8x To $3.4B By Year-End 2026 — Neutral

IREN   Seeking Alpha — November 18, 2025

My thesis rests mainly on IREN's AI Cloud ramp: a $9.7B Microsoft deal targeting $1.9B ARR, and total AI Cloud ARR guided to $3.4B by year-end 2026. The moat of IREN is its power contracts. 140K GPUs by 2026 will use only 16% of 2.91GW secured power, including 2.75GW of West Texas grid connections. The AI cloud segment is still in its early stage. Q1 FY26 revenue of this segment was only 3% of the consolidated revenue of the company.
