  • IREN drops after Russell 1000 debut as investors look at CEO awards
    July 5, 2026, 2:03 PM EDT. IREN Limited (NASDAQ:IREN) fell 10.39% to $38.82 on July 2 after joining the Russell 1000 index on June 26. The stock is down 17.8% for the week, while the Russell 1000 gained 1.8%. Pressure on the shares increased after IREN disclosed it gave big restricted stock units grants to co-CEOs William and Daniel Roberts, worth about 18.2 million shares, or 5.1% of the company. Short-seller Jim Chanos took aim at the size of the awards compared to expected net income. IREN's board cleared the grants, which will vest over four years and are subject to a two-year hold after vesting. The company has also appointed new execs with cloud and infrastructure backgrounds. Investors are watching governance and strategy as interest in IREN's AI cloud plans stays strong.
