What’s Going on With Iren Stock on Tuesday?

by | Jul 21, 2026 | General

IREN Limited (NASDAQ:IREN) shares are up during Tuesday’s premarket session. On Monday, the company announced a significant increase in its annualized run-rate revenue forecast.

This comes after securing new multi-year cloud services contracts valued at $2.8 billion with leading AI developers such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Perplexity, reflecting strong demand in the AI cloud infrastructure market.

Raised AI Cloud Revenue Forecast After New Contracts

IREN has raised its year-end AI Cloud annualized run-rate revenue forecast from $3.7 billion to over $4 billion, with approximately 85% of this now under contract.

The new contracts include customer prepayments covering around 45% of GPU capital costs, which could lower funding needs and solidify IREN’s position in the market.
