Microsoft's acceptance and Nvidia's grant of Exemplar Cloud status have added to the stock's upmove.
Riot Platforms posted a $237.2M net loss, but a 20-year, $9.1B Anthropic data center lease at Rockdale signals its pivot from crypto mining to AI hosting infrastructure.

Nvidia has committed billions to IREN, but can the company fund its AI buildout without overextending itself?
AI data center demand is splitting the market: CoreWeave, Nebius and IREN show strong capital access, while Applied Digital and HIVE Digital face debt and dilution risks in the crypto-to-AI pivot.
NCLD and LYTE provide precise exposure to the compute and connectivity layers powering the AI infrastructure buildout.
Stocks fell as investors weighed AI CapEx concerns, Oracle's credit downgrade, Netflix and Tesla earnings, and upcoming Fed and Magnificent 7 reports, plus stock picks across sectors.
NVIDIA's 9.3% stake in Nebius, disclosed via 13G filing, sent shares up 16% and highlights a broader shift of capital toward neocloud operators over legacy hyperscalers.

IREN just landed $2.8 billion in AI cloud contracts, boosting its outlook and strengthening its position as one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure plays.
