  • IREN Limited Shares Fall 21% Amid Golden State Warriors Sponsorship and AI Expansion
    June 28, 2026, 6:36 PM EDT. IREN Limited (NASDAQ:IREN) shares dropped 21.3% to $47.21, marking five consecutive down days and highlighting investor concerns despite the new multi-year Golden State Warriors jersey sponsorship deal worth over $50 million annually. This sponsorship represents only about 1.1% of IREN's $4.4 billion annual recurring revenue (ARR) target, emphasizing the company's larger focus on AI infrastructure. IREN recently secured a $3.65 billion GPU financing facility linked to its Microsoft AI cloud contract and plans a $1.6 billion hardware purchase from Dell Technologies for a $3.4 billion managed AI cloud deal. Short interest stands at 19.74% of float. The stock now mirrors delivery of AI infrastructure capacity more than branding efforts, with a median analyst target of $82.50, suggesting upside potential amid execution risks.
