On August 25, Cipher Mining Inc. rose 5.08% in regular trading, trading at $16.14/share, with turnover of $200 million. The stock has been experiencing sharp volatility since its Q2 earnings release earlier this month.
On the earnings front, the company reported a Q2 loss of $0.65 per share, significantly wider than the analyst consensus estimate of a $0.22 loss, representing a miss of over 195%. Revenue came in at $24.8 million, down 43% year-over-year and well below the $32.5 million estimate. The stock has fallen over 31% through August amid the earnings fallout.
However, the AI data center transformation narrative continues to provide downside support. The company's first AI data center, Black Pearl, began delivering capacity and collecting rent in early August — two months ahead of schedule — following an amended lease agreement with a hyperscale tenant. Additionally, Cipher secured a development option for a new Texas site named Apollo, while cash reserves grew to $831.8 million as of June 30. Analyst consensus maintains a buy rating with a mean price target of $32.75.
