"While shares have done well over the expectation that IREN will entirely focus on its GPU cloud," Knoblauch continued, "we continue to believe there is more room to run."
Knoblauch further noted that on a contracted megawatt basis, IREN is trading at about a 75% discount to its neocloud peer group. A discount is surely warranted given revenue backlog disparity, he said, but the gap should close over time, "resulting in a material re-rating on IREN shares."
Knoblauch more than doubled his price target to $100 from $49, suggesting 56% upside from last night's close of $64.14. The stock is higher by 513% since starting the year just above $10.
IREN is up marginally in premarket action to $64.50.
