On September 16, IREN Ltd rose 5.06% in regular trading, trading at $43.62/share, with turnover of approximately $431 million. The rally was driven by a significant analyst upgrade and broad strength across the cloud computing infrastructure sector.

JPMorgan issued a double upgrade on IREN, moving the stock from Underweight to Overweight and raising its price target from $46 to $65. According to FactSet, the stock carries an average analyst rating of Buy with a mean price target of $81.43, suggesting substantial upside from current levels.

The broader cloud computing services sector surged on the same day, with peers NEBIUS climbing over 9%, CoreWeave gaining over 7%, and Oracle rising more than 4%. Analysts noted that AI-driven cloud infrastructure demand continues to accelerate, with mid-tier cloud providers poised to capture increasing market share as hyperscaler capital expenditures tilt toward AI infrastructure.

Additionally, IREN recently secured a $2.4 billion debt financing led by Blue Owl Capital and PIMCO to purchase NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs for its Canadian data center campus, and was named as a partner in NVIDIA's initiative to build up to 2GW of AI factory data centers in Australia.
