Stock Market Today, Nov. 6: Iren Soars 20% on Strong AI Cloud Revenue Growth
Iren (IREN) surged 20% after reporting strong Q1 FY27 earnings with AI cloud revenue nearly tripling to $200 million. The company is converting Bitcoin mining operations to AI cloud capacity and secured a five-year contract with 90% GPU prepayments, signaling strong customer demand and capital efficiency.
