See our latest analysis for IREN.<\/a><\/p>\n Even with a recent pullback that includes a 1 month share price return of negative 12.9 percent, IREN still boasts a powerful year to date share price return above 280 percent and a massive 3 year total shareholder return over 3,200 percent.

However, the expansion to 30 EH\/s appears to be only partially funded, raising concerns about potential further dilution in 2024, which I will monitor closely.<\/p>\n Read the complete narrative.<\/a><\/p>\n Want to see what kind of revenue surge, profit margins and future earnings multiple BlackGoat believes can support that valuation gap?
