Cipher Mining (CIFR – Research Report), the Financial sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Mike Colonnese from H.C. Wainwright reiterated a Buy rating on the stock and has a $8.00 price target.
Mike Colonnese has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Cipher Mining’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning. The company reported a significant increase in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by higher Bitcoin prices and production, which exceeded expectations. Additionally, Cipher Mining has been expanding its capacity with new development sites in Texas, which are primarily aimed at high-performance computing and AI data centers.
Colonnese also notes that Cipher Mining has the expertise to construct turnkey data centers, which positions it well for potential AI deals. Despite a recent stock decline due to unmet investor expectations regarding AI partnerships, the fundamentals of the company remain robust. The sell-off is seen as a buying opportunity, given the company’s solid growth prospects and strategic initiatives. Colonnese believes that Cipher Mining could secure an AI deal by the end of the year, further enhancing its growth trajectory.
In another report released today, KBW also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $10.00 price target.
