In a market report, capital markets firm BTIG raised its price target for IREN Ltd. (NASDAQ:IREN) to $32 from $22 previously, while maintaining a “buy” recommendation for the stock.

The upgrade followed optimism from the company’s move to expand its GPU portfolio in July with the acquisition of 9,000 Nvidia GPUs, which brought its total ownership to 10,900 units. The expansion represented a fivefold increase from only 2,000 GPUs deployed in early 2024.
