Riot Platforms has released an outlook projecting a per-share loss of $0.33 for the next quarter. Its share price has consequently fallen approximately 2.42% recently. The earnings outlook suggests that the company’s mining profitability and cost base are under pressure.
As part of its long-term plan, the company expects revenue of $1.8 billion and profit of approximately $29.9 million by 2029. Some observers have also pointed out that power and data center utilization could be affected by market demand and the number of tenant contracts.
Riot Platforms is heavily dependent on bitcoin mining and data center infrastructure, and is said to be tying capital to bitcoin price trends, mining efficiency and long-term tenant demand. Fluctuations in raw material and energy costs could also affect earnings.
Some market participants are particularly concerned about execution risk associated with the shift toward data centers. Some estimates put 2029 revenue at approximately $952.7 million and profit at approximately $109 million, suggesting that the company could fall short of consensus estimates.
