All eyes are on Terawulf (WULF) shares this morning after the digital infrastructure firm revealed a monumental $19 billion contracted revenue deal with Anthropic. But it's not all about WULF only; neocloud provider IREN Ltd (IREN) is soaring this morning as well, and it also has the same artificial intelligence (AI) research lab to thank.
IREN stock is crashing this morning, and the sell-off is being attributed primarily to Meta Platforms' reported plans to launch a commercial cloud infrastructure business. But a deeper dive reveals there's actually more to the story that's disappointing investors on Jul. 2 – adding to pressure on the name that's now down an alarming 45% versus its high in late May.
IREN's Nasdaq-100 and Russell inclusion broadens institutional ownership as the investment case shifts from fundraising toward execution and revenue realization. Management revealed all operational AI capacity is fully contracted, while negotiations for 2027 deployments indicate execution has replaced demand as the bottleneck. Mirantis adds 650 engineers and over 1,500 enterprise relationships, strengthening IREN's vertically integrated AI cloud platform beyond infrastructure ownership alone.
Shares of AI data center giant IREN (IREN) are moving 3.9% lower at $43.94 this afternoon, pulling back as a choppy tech sector weighs on investors. Despite the blockchain specialist's debut on the Russell 1000 Index (RUT) earlier this week, the equity is headed for an eighth-straight daily drop—its lowest close since April.
