On August 11, Cipher Mining Inc. rose 5.51% in pre-market trading, trading at $17.2/share, with turnover of approximately $4 million. The stock had declined for five consecutive trading days following its Q2 earnings release on August 4, accumulating a nearly 30% pullback before this technical rebound.
The bounce comes after Q2 results significantly missed expectations. The company reported a loss of $0.65 per share, far exceeding the consensus estimate of a $0.22 loss, while revenue of $24.8 million fell 43% year-over-year and missed the $32.5 million estimate. The sharp miss reflected ongoing transition pain as legacy bitcoin mining revenue declined substantially.
Supporting the oversold recovery, Cipher delivered initial capacity at its Black Pearl AI data center two months ahead of schedule, secured $810 million in senior secured notes to fund its Stingray data center project, and maintains cash reserves of $831.8 million. Multiple institutions retain buy ratings with a mean price target of $32, suggesting significant upside from current levels as the company's pivot toward industrial-scale AI data center operations progresses.
