Hut 8 Plans to Triple Hash Rate by 2025, Stock Upgraded to ‘Buy’

Hut 8 Mining Corp. recently received a significant upgrade from analysts at H.C. Wainwright & Co., who moved the stock from a “Sell” to a “Buy” rating. This change was driven by several strategic developments within the company, including a substantial reduction in electricity costs to $0.032/kWh and the energization of a new 63 MW facility in Texas. The analysts also increased the price target for Hut 8’s stock from $7.50 to $13.50, representing a potential 23% upside from its current levels, according to Crypto.

Despite a 50% decline in the stock price over the past month, the company’s strong liquidity position, with $722 million in total assets, including 9,102 Bitcoin, positions it well to capitalize on market opportunities. Additionally, a recent $150 million investment from Coatue has increased the likelihood of Hut 8 securing high-margin contracts in high-performance computing or artificial intelligence sectors.

As Hut 8 continues to optimize its operations and explore new opportunities, the recent appointment of Sean Glennan as CFO is expected to further strengthen the company’s financial strategy. The upgrade comes as Hut 8 works to triple its operating hash rate by 2025, despite a 32% decline in Q2 2024 revenue to $35.2 million and a reported loss of $0.78 per share.
