In Wednesday’s intra-day trading, Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT) soared to its highest price of $38.35 before paring gains to end the day just up by 7.88 percent at $37.79 apiece.

According to Roth, the upgrade was based on optimism for its high-performance computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure, as well as its affiliate, American Bitcoin’s progress towards hitting an operating hash rate of 25 EH/s.

Roth Capital said the new business structure was “one of the more well thought of” in the sector, enabling American Bitcoin to pursue its own crypto strategy while Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT) focuses on providing power and managed services.

Roth Capital believed that any announcement of a signed lease agreement for one of its campuses would bolster stock ratings in the future.
