B. Riley lifted its Iren price targets, including a move to US$96, citing the 800 MW Bundey, South Australia data center connection agreement tied to the NVIDIA partnership and what it views as an early position in an AI capacity constrained region. <\/p>\n

Cantor Fitzgerald raised its target to US$99, pointing to the recent Microsoft AI Cloud Services contract and framing the agreement, on its assumptions, as implying upside potential relative to where the stock is currently trading. <\/p>\n
