See our latest analysis for IREN.

Despite the recent Bitcoin rebound and interest in GPU based cloud services, IREN’s short term share price performance has been mixed, with a 7 day share price return of a 6.2% decline and a 30 day share price return of a 5.5% gain. The 1 year total shareholder return is very large, pointing to strong longer term momentum.

With IREN sharing in the AI infrastructure and Bitcoin enthusiasm, yet trading at a discount of about 19% to an analyst price target of US$76.14, you have to ask: is there still a buying opportunity here, or is future growth already priced in?

BlackGoat’s widely followed narrative values IREN at $95.75 per share, well above the last close at $42.16, and frames that gap around long term AI infrastructure growth.

The “Base Case” Model: To arrive at the $95.75 Fair Value, the valuator assumes IREN hits $8.7B in revenue and $2.9B in earnings by the year 2031 (representing a 63% p.a. growth rate), with a 10% discount rate, 33% profit margin, and a future PE of 25x.

Curious what underpins that $95.75 figure? The narrative leans on aggressive revenue compounding, thick margins, and a future earnings multiple that implies sustained market confidence.

Result: Fair Value of $95.75 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this hinges on key assumptions, and setbacks such as heavier than expected equity dilution or weaker Bitcoin pricing would quickly challenge that 56% undervalued narrative.

BlackGoat’s $95.75 fair value hinges on long term growth assumptions, but current pricing tells a different story. At a P/E of 35.9x, IREN trades above both the US Software industry average of 29.4x and an estimated fair ratio of 5.2x, which points to meaningful valuation risk if earnings do not keep pace.

Peers as a group sit around 55.7x P/E, so IREN is cheaper than that subset but still richly valued compared to the wider industry and its own fair ratio. For you as a shareholder, that gap can cut both ways; it may offer upside if growth surprises, or leave little cushion if expectations reset.
