NYSE:SPR News 16 January 2026

January 24, 2026, 6:25 AM EST. Cipher Mining (CIFR) shares closed at $17.57, down from an analyst target of $26.68, drawing investor attention. The crypto-focused data center firm posted revenue of $206.454 million but reported a net loss of $70.529 million, reflecting ongoing operational challenges. Despite a 1-month gain of 8.32%, the stock has declined nearly 15% over three months amid mixed market sentiment. Analysts factor in long-term leases with Amazon Web Services for AI infrastructure, anticipating growth tied to high-performance computing. However, with a price-to-sales ratio of 33.6x-far above industry and peer averages-valuation risks remain if demand or execution falters. Investors weigh these dynamics carefully given Cipher's volatile outlook and substantial swings in total returns over the past year.
