On October 16, 2026, Hut 8 Corp HUT shares experienced a significant decline, falling 11.0% to a current price of $67.75. This drop comes in the context of a 52-week range that has seen highs of $140.80 and lows of $31.67.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $67.75 vs GF Value™ of $32.98 indicates the stock is 105.4% overvalued.GF Score™: 37/100, reflecting below average performance across key metrics.Notable signal: Insiders sold $15.2M worth of shares over the past 12 months with no insider buying activity.Is HUT Overvalued or Undervalued?The current assessment of Hut 8 Corp HUT through the lens of GF Value™ suggests the stock is significantly overvalued. With a GF Value™ of $32.98 and a current market price of $67.75, there is a concerning margin of safety that indicates a 105.4% overvaluation. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary intrinsic-value estimate that takes into account historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. In this case, the GF Valuation label of 'Significantly Overvalued' is a clear warning sign for potential investors.

Given HUT's status as an unprofitable and cash-flow-negative company, traditional earnings-based valuation methods such as Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios are not applicable. Instead, a Price-to-Sales (P/S) analysis would be more appropriate. Hut 8's historical P/S median stands at approximately 13.9x, making the current trading environment particularly dubious when compared to the company's operational status.

How Does HUT's Valuation Compare to Its History?MetricCurrentHistoricalP/E (TTM)1031.6x11.1xThe current forward P/E of HUT at an astronomical 1031.6x starkly contrasts with its 5-year median P/E of 11.1x. This glaring discrepancy indicates that the stock is trading well above its historical valuation standards. Such an analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the notion that HUT is significantly overvalued based on its historical performance metrics.

What Does HUT's GF Score™ Tell Us?The GF Score™ is an aggregate measure that evaluates a company's financial strength, profitability, growth prospects, valuation, and momentum. Hut 8 Corp's GF Score™ of 37 out of 100 points to a below-average standing in multiple categories.

MetricRatingGF Score™37Financial Strength4/10Profitability3/10Growth6/10Valuation1/10Momentum0/10The scores indicate serious weaknesses in financial strength, profitability, and valuation, with the latter being particularly alarming at just 1 out of 10. Growth, while slightly better at 6/10, does not compensate for the overall weak showing. Such a profile suggests that Hut 8 Corp is struggling to establish a solid financial foundation amidst its current operational challenges.

What Are Gurus and Insiders Doing with HUT?Currently, 7 gurus hold positions in Hut 8 Corp HUT, with 4 adding to their holdings while 4 have trimmed their positions in recent quarters. This mixed activity indicates a lack of consensus among institutional investors regarding the stock's future performance.

Moreover, insider activity presents a concerning picture, as insiders have sold approximately $15.2 million worth of shares over the past year without any buying activity. This trend may signal a lack of confidence in the company's near-term prospects, which is an important factor for potential investors to consider.

What This Means for InvestorsConsidering the analysis above, Hut 8 Corp seems to be significantly overvalued based on the GF Value™ assessment. The combination of poor financial metrics, insider selling, and a lack of profitability raises serious concerns about the stock's long-term viability. Therefore, cautious consideration is warranted when evaluating this stock.

SOURCE Hut 8 Corp.

Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT) is trending Monday after the company announced the closing of a $1.07 billion four-year senior secured revolving credit facility.

Hut 8 stock is showing weakness. What’s pulling HUT shares down? The facility strengthens Hut 8’s parent-level liquidity as the company continues to pursue an investment-grade corporate profile, building on its existing $7.5 billion of fully amortizing, non-recourse investment-grade project financing used to fund development and construction at its River Bend and Beacon Point AI data center campuses. Borrowings carry a drawn margin ranging from SOFR plus 150 to 200 basis points based on Hut 8’s consolidated total debt-to-market-capitalization ratio, with an initial margin of SOFR plus 175 basis points at closing and can be drawn and repaid without prepayment penalties.

The facility also includes a $1.07 billion letter-of-credit sublimit designed to support collateral requirements tied to site development, including interconnection deposits and obligations to utilities and equipment vendors, reducing the need to post cash collateral.

“We are building a capital structure designed to scale with the business while giving us control over when, where, and how we deploy capital, flexibility that matters given the speed and capital intensity of AI infrastructure development,” said Sean Glennan, CFO of Hut 8. “This Facility adds more than $1 billion of committed, non-dilutive bank liquidity at the parent level, giving us the ability to fund projects through development while we determine the optimal timing and structure for long-term, non-recourse financing as they de-risk.”

Each week, Benzinga’s Stock Whisper Index uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the surface and deserve attention.

Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.

Here’s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending Sept. 25:

Hut 8 Corp (NASDAQ:HUT): The energy infrastructure company saw strong interest from readers during the week, which continues a trend of the companies formerly known as Bitcoin miners that are also becoming players in the data center segment being widely followed. Hut 8 received three analyst initiations this month, with price targets of $175, $96 and $143. UBS highlighted the company’s upcoming energization at Beacon Point and major lease announcements as upcoming catalysts for investors to watch. The stock is up over 100% year-to-date with shares down this week, offering a slight pullback and entry point for investors looking to get in ahead of those future catalysts.

Spotify Technology (NYSE:SPOT): The audio streaming company saw strong interest from readers with minimal headline news. The company added $1.5 billion to its buyback program last month and is gearing up for third-quarter financial results next month. Spotify has beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in three of the last four quarters, while missing revenue in two straight quarters. The next quarter could show if the company is gaining subscribers with recent price increases.

U-Haul Holding Company (NYSE:UHAL): The company known for moving vehicles and storage saw strong interest from readers with shares at three-month lows. The company held a virtual analyst and investor meeting last month that may see more analyst price target changes in the coming weeks. In recent quarterly financial results, the company has been missing earnings per share estimates from analysts, while beating revenue targets. The company is sometimes a gauge for how often people are moving and to what parts of the country. With high mortgage rates, the company could be under pressure.

Prologis (NYSE:PLD): The industrial and logistics facilities company saw strong interest from readers during the week. Shares trade at April lows with investors potentially digesting news of the August acquisition announcement of UK-based SEGRO PLC, another logistics warehouse company. The acquisition could help grow Prologis’ footprint in Europe by 43% and add to its pipeline of new builds. Prologis has beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in nine straight quarters, while missing analyst estimates for revenue in 11 straight quarters. The stock could be one to watch with the pending acquisition and a history of mixed financial results.

Allison Transmission Holdings (NYSE:ALSN): The commercial vehicle parts company saw strong interest from readers during the week. The company reported third-quarter financial results in August with earnings per share and revenue both missing analyst estimates, but the company raising full-year sales guidance. Revenue was up 92% year-over-year and some business segments hit records in the quarter, likely showing that analyst estimates may have been extremely bullish. The company is one to watch as it is a major supplier to several different segments of vehicles.

Key Points:Multi-timeframe bullish breakout strengthens HUT setup$101.83 breakout confirms improving momentum200-day and 50-week averages held as support$140.80 becomes first major upside targetNext resistance zones extend toward $181Multi-Timeframe Breakout Revives Bullish Trend Hut 8 Corp. (HUT) operates large-scale power and data center assets for Bitcoin mining, AI training, and cloud hosting. Its long-term pattern remains bullish, with the stock now triggering a trend-continuation signal after testing support at key levels on both the short-term daily and long-term weekly timeframes.

HUT broke out of a large multi-year basing pattern on a decisive move above the 2021 high of $82.85

to reach a new record high in May. Subsequently, a new high of $140.80 was reached in June, leading to an approximately 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the prior advance and the establishment of a higher swing low of $75.31 three weeks ago.

HUT daily chart shows initial breakout of bullish flag. Source: TradingView Cup-with-Handle Meets Daily Flag The retracement took the form of a handle on the weekly chart, thereby establishing a cup-with-handle pattern with a high handle. On the daily chart, the same corrective structure can be considered a bullish flag. An upside breakout of the corrective pattern triggered on Monday with a rally above the recent lower swing high of $101.83 and the downtrend line. On the weekly chart, the breakout also reclaimed the 20-week moving average, providing additional confirmation of improving momentum.

HUT weekly chart shows long-term base breakout and completion of first pullback. Source: TradingView Support Holds Across Timeframes The alignment of the larger weekly pattern with the shorter-term daily pattern provides a stronger technical signal. The breakout of the large base suggests that another impulse leg up could follow a successful breakout. Moreover, the recent retracement found support at the 200-day moving average on the daily chart and near the 50-week moving average on the weekly chart, indicating that the underlying bullish trends remain intact.

Upside Targets Come Into Focus The first upside target of note is the current high of $140.80. That is followed by the first confluence resistance zone near $153-$159, with the next resistance zone extending from around $174-$181. If HUT follows through to the upside as the developing patterns indicate that it might, it will be a classic example of a cup-with-handle bullish continuation setup. In that case, Monday’s breakout would mark the next potential impulse leg within the larger bullish trend, connecting the recent support test with the higher potential targets now developing.

Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT) shares are trending Tuesday following a report tying the company to a major new AI infrastructure deal.

Hut 8 stock is showing upward movement. What’s pushing HUT stock higher? Anthropic Ramps Claude AI with $35B Lambda, Hut 8 DealAccording to Reuters, Anthropic has signed a cloud-computing deal worth $35 billion with Lambda, a cloud provider backed by Nvidia, for a Texas data center, according to a source familiar with the matter. The project is being developed in Nueces County by Hut 8 and covers approximately 350 megawatts of capacity, the source said. The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the deal, said Nvidia itself would hold the lease on the data center.

The Lambda deal is expected to bring online additional Nvidia capacity to meet growing demand for Anthropic’s Claude AI models, according to the source. Anthropic has been aggressively expanding its computing power, and last week said it would spend $45 billion to rent AI cloud computing power from Nscale’s West Virginia data center campus.

Hut 8 said in July it had signed a 15-year lease with an “investment-grade customer” carrying a base-term contract value of $19.6 billion, and the Financial Times later reported that Nvidia was the tenant for Hut 8’s 1-gigawatt Beacon Point campus.

Sean Joseph Glennan, Chief Financial Officer of Hut 8 Corp. (HUT -8.85%), sold 6,445 shares of common stock at $78.76 per share on August 24, 2026 according to an SEC Form 4 filing.

Transaction summaryMetricValueTransaction value$508,000Shares sold6,445Post-transaction shares (directly held)17,978Post-transaction value$1.43 millionTransaction value based on SEC Form 4 weighted average sale price ($78.76); post-transaction value based on August 24, 2026 market close ($79.56).

Key questionsWhat was the primary driver behind this disposal of shares?
The transaction was executed automatically to cover tax liabilities associated with the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs), rather than a discretionary sale, and was conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established on September 9, 2024.How did the underlying vesting event affect the CFO's total direct equity position?
Despite the sale of 6,445 shares for taxes, the net impact of the vesting event was positive, increasing the CFO's direct holdings from 12,068 shares to 17,978 shares.What is the context of the company's market performance at the time of the sale?
Shares were priced at $78.76 for the weighted-average transaction, occurring as the stock has achieved a 240% return over the one-year period as of the August 24, 2026 transaction date.Does the insider retain further equity exposure through derivative instruments?
Beyond the common stock held directly, Glennan continues to hold 12,355 derivative securities, representing additional potential equity interest as these awards vest or are exercised.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-08-24)$79.56Market Capitalization$9.0 billionRevenue (TTM)$318 millionNet Income (TTM)-$599.6 millionCompany SnapshotHut 8 operates as an energy infrastructure platform providing managed services for energy infrastructure development, including site design, procurement, construction management, and software automation solutions for energy-intensive computing operations across the United States and Canada.The company generates revenue through an integrated platform that combines power generation, digital infrastructure deployment, and compute capacity to serve large-scale energy-intensive applications, such as artificial intelligence.Hut 8 primarily serves enterprise customers and institutional clients requiring substantial computational power and energy infrastructure, including cryptocurrency mining operations, data centers, and other compute-intensive industries.Hut 8 Corp. operates as a specialized energy infrastructure platform at scale, integrating power generation, digital infrastructure, and compute capabilities to address the growing demand for energy-efficient solutions in compute-intensive industries.

The company's competitive positioning is anchored in its ability to design, construct, and manage comprehensive energy infrastructure solutions while maintaining operational efficiency across North American markets. With a market cap of $9 billion, the company represents a scaled platform addressing structural demand for integrated energy and compute infrastructure.

What this transaction means for investorsThe Aug. 24 sale of Hut 8 stock by CFO Sean Glennan is not a red flag for investors. This non-discretionary transaction was executed to fulfill tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs.

An RSU is a form of compensation where a company promises to give an employee shares of stock at a future date. When that vesting date arrives, as was the case here, a "sell to cover" transaction occurs to pay for the related taxes.

Glennan's disposition occurred after Hut 8 shares had climbed 240% over the trailing 12 months through Aug. 24. The stock is up thanks to massive revenue growth. In the second quarter, the company reported revenue of $74.9 million, representing a significant increase from $41.3 million in the prior year.

Hut 8's spectacular sales expansion demonstrates the enormous demand for computing infrastructure to house AI systems. One of the company's key advantages is that it ensures it has sufficient electricity generation capabilities at its facilities. This is a critical feature, since AI's colossal need for power has led the U.S. Department of Energy to raise the alarm that electricity shortages could happen by 2030.

Check out other analyst stock ratings.

Needham: Hut 8 reported revenues of $75 million, missing consensus of $77 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $10 million, surpassing expectations of $2 million, Todaro said in a note.

The company signed the second phase at Beacon Point in the second quarter, with the full leased capacity representing a little over 700MW (megawatt) of critical IT load, he added.

Due to audit requests in Texas, "the timeline on Beacon Point becomes a bit murkier," although management indicated energization in the first quarter and site delivery in the third quarter of 2027, the analyst stated. There is likely "some political posturing" to the audit, which suggests that it could take until after the November elections "to get clarity," he further wrote.

Rosenblatt Securities: As Hut 8 announced an impressive second HPC (high-performance computing) contract at its Beacon Point a couple of weeks back, the second-quarter results were "largely uneventful," Brendler said.

The company’s earnings will be driven by its legacy Bitcoin mining business and will be "largely irrelevant" until the HPC contracts begin in mid-2027, he added.

HUT Price Action: Shares of Hut 8 had declined by 4.76% to $96.35 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Positive Sentiment: Hut 8 reported substantial progress in its AI infrastructure strategy. The company said its first two AI data-center campuses now represent 949 megawatts of contracted IT capacity, approximately $26.6 billion in expected aggregate base-term contract value and more than $1.75 billion in expected average annual net operating income. Hut 8 Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results Positive Sentiment: The company also secured $7.5 billion of fully amortizing, investment-grade project financing through two non-dilutive offerings without recourse to Hut 8. Management highlighted the subsequent signing of a 352-megawatt lease at Beacon Point, supporting its commercialization efforts. Hut 8 Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results Neutral Sentiment: Unusually heavy options activity accompanied the move, with traders purchasing 25,995 call options—25% above average daily call volume.

IREN’s $2.8 Billion AI Contract Haul Changes the Stock’s StoryThe company nevertheless recorded a GAAP net loss of $177.1 million, which Chief Financial Officer Sean Glennan said was primarily driven by a $138 million loss on digital assets as Bitcoin declined during the quarter. Glennan characterized the year-over-year comparison as being dominated by a non-cash mark-to-market swing.

Compute revenue increased to $72.5 million from $34.3 million, supported by Bitcoin production increasing to approximately 935 Bitcoin from about 308 in the year-earlier period. The company attributed the growth to additional operating capacity following the commencement of operations at Vega and the re-energization of its Drumheller facility.

These 3 Bitcoin Miner Stocks Are Riding the AI Data Center BoomCompute cost of revenue increased at a slower rate than segment revenue, resulting in an approximately 66% gross margin, according to Glennan.

Digital infrastructure revenue was $1.3 million, broadly unchanged from the prior-year period, while power revenue declined to $1.2 million from $5.5 million. Glennan said the power-revenue decline reflected the sale of the Far North portfolio in February, rather than a deterioration in the remaining business.

General and administrative expense rose to $76.1 million from $30.2 million. The CFO said approximately $43.6 million of the increase was share-based compensation and therefore largely non-cash. Salaries and benefits rose by approximately $4.1 million as the company added personnel, particularly within its energy origination group, to support development initiatives.

AI Data Center Development and Financing Chief Executive Officer Asher Genoot described Hut 8 as an energy infrastructure platform that develops digital infrastructure around scarce power resources. He said the company’s approach is to originate power, secure site control and interconnection, commercialize projects with high-credit-quality counterparties, finance them, and construct and operate assets backed by long-duration contracts.

Management pointed to River Bend and Beacon Point as examples of the strategy. At River Bend, structural steel erection began in early June, while substation steel erection started in mid-July. Building foundations were expected to be completed before the end of the month, with slab-on-grade pours beginning across the auxiliary support yard and main building.

The company also discussed its second Beacon Point lease, covering 352 megawatts of IT capacity and representing approximately $9.8 billion in expected base-term contract value. With that agreement, Hut 8 said Beacon Point was fully commercialized, with one gigawatt of utility capacity supporting contracted investment-grade cash flows.

Beacon Point represents 704 MW of contracted IT capacity and about $19.6 billion of expected base-term contract value, according to Genoot. Together with River Bend, the company reported approximately 949 MW of contracted AI data center capacity and roughly $26.6 billion of expected aggregate base-term contract value.

Hut 8 completed $7.5 billion in investment-grade project financing for River Bend and Beacon Point Building One. The River Bend financing consisted of $3.25 billion of fully amortizing senior secured notes due 2042. Beacon Point Building One was financed with $4.25 billion of senior secured notes.

Genoot said the Beacon Point notes received a rating one notch above River Bend’s notes, priced 20 basis points inside the River Bend financing, and included a later start to amortization. He said both financings were structured at the project level, secured by project assets and non-recourse to Hut 8’s parent company.

Balance Sheet and Development Pipeline At June 30, Hut 8 had approximately $233.6 million of unrestricted cash and approximately $6.8 billion of restricted cash and cash equivalents. Glennan said the restricted amounts primarily consisted of proceeds from the River Bend and Beacon Point financings and could be used for construction, debt-service reserves and other designated project purposes.

Total debt was approximately $7.6 billion, largely consisting of the River Bend and Beacon Point notes held at bankruptcy-remote project subsidiaries. During the quarter, interest income on undeployed project financing proceeds totaled $27.1 million, while the company capitalized $5.7 million of interest into construction in progress.

Hut 8 also said Coinbase converted approximately $159.3 million of accreted principal on its note into 9.7 million shares in May, eliminating the company’s remaining parent-level recourse debt. The company refinanced a $200 million Coinbase facility with a $200 million FalconX term loan, reducing the coupon to 7% from 9%. Glennan said the FalconX loan is collateralized by Bitcoin rather than the parent company.

The company’s development pipeline stood at approximately 8.7 gigawatts, up about 300 MW from the prior quarter. Hut 8 reported 11 sites in diligence or exclusivity stages, averaging more than 650 MW each. Genoot said the reported pipeline excludes merger-and-acquisition opportunities, behind-the-meter generation possibilities and a potential River Bend expansion.

Management said it continues to evaluate behind-the-meter power generation opportunities, which Genoot described as potentially the fastest path to capacity. However, Hut 8 does not include such opportunities in its reported pipeline until they become executed or contracted.

Looking ahead, management said it intends to finance projects against their own contracted cash flows where feasible, preserve parent-level flexibility, and use equity primarily for early-stage development work such as site control, interconnection and design.

Power-first execution model compounds across the Company's first two AI data center campuses

949 MW of contracted IT capacity, approximately $26.6 billion of expected aggregate base-term contract value, more than $1.75 billion of expected average annual NOI, and $7.5 billion of investment-grade project financing secured to date

Earnings Release Highlights

Completed the commercialization of Hut 8's first gigawatt-scale AI data center campus, signing, subsequent to quarter-end, a second 352 MW IT lease at Beacon Point. Closed $7.5 billion of fully amortizing investment-grade project financing across two offerings in a single quarter, each on a non-dilutive basis and without recourse to Hut 8 Corp. Scaled expected aggregate base-term contract value across the portfolio to approximately $26.6 billion across 949 MW of contracted AI data center capacity, representing more than $1.75 billion of expected average annual NOI, leased or backstopped exclusively by investment-grade counterparties. Facilities representing 1,330 MW of utility capacity in active construction across River Bend and Beacon Point, targeted for initial data hall delivery in Q2 2027 and Q3 2027, respectively. , /PRNewswire/ -- Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "In the second quarter, our power-first model drove significant commercial and financial milestones across our first two AI data center campuses. To date, it has produced data center leases representing 949 MW of contracted IT capacity, approximately $26.6 billion of expected aggregate base-term value leased or backstopped by investment-grade counterparties, more than $1.75 billion of expected average annual NOI, and $7.5 billion of investment-grade construction financing.

"Three milestones during the quarter and the weeks that followed demonstrated our momentum. At Beacon Point, our existing high-investment-grade tenant returned within months of the Phase 1 lease to commit to a second 352 MW IT lease, commercializing the campus's full one-gigawatt of utility capacity. In the credit markets, we closed $7.5 billion across two investment-grade offerings in a single quarter, opening with our inaugural River Bend financing and returning weeks later to execute on improved terms for Beacon Point Phase 1. Commitments of this depth from some of the market's most sophisticated counterparties underscore the strength of a model built to perform repeatedly at scale.

"Delivery is now our central priority. We continue to apply the full weight of our organization to deliver River Bend and Beacon Point: operating rigor built through years of developing energy-intensive infrastructure at scale and a team we continue to expand ahead of the growth to come. Bringing these campuses online will put nearly a gigawatt of contracted IT capacity into service and establish the foundation from which we intend to build the defining infrastructure platform of the AI era."

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts, but instead represent management's expectations, estimates, and projections regarding future events based on certain material factors and assumptions at the time the statement was made. While considered reasonable by Hut 8 as of the date of this press release, such statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including, but not limited to, failure of critical systems; geopolitical, social, economic, and other events and circumstances; competition from current and future competitors; risks related to power requirements; cybersecurity threats and breaches; hazards and operational risks; changes in leasing arrangements; Internet-related disruptions; dependence on key personnel; having a limited operating history; attracting and retaining customers; entering into new offerings or lines of business; price fluctuations and rapidly changing technologies; construction of new data centers, data center expansions, or data center redevelopment; predicting facility requirements; strategic alliances or joint ventures; operating and expanding internationally; failing to grow hashrate; purchasing miners; relying on third-party mining pool service providers; uncertainty in the development and acceptance of the Bitcoin network; Bitcoin halving events; competition from other methods of investing in Bitcoin; concentration of Bitcoin holdings; hedging transactions; potential liquidity constraints; legal, regulatory, governmental, and technological uncertainties; physical risks related to climate change; involvement in legal proceedings; trading volatility; and other risks described from time to time in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, see the Company's recent and upcoming annual and quarterly reports and other continuous disclosure documents, which are available under the Company's EDGAR profile at sec.gov and SEDAR+ profile at sedarplus.ca.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to its results determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company relies on Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market; Adjusted EBITDA; and expected net operating income (NOI) contribution, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate its business, measure its performance, and inform strategic decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA, Inclusive of Digital Assets Mark-to-Market

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, as net loss or income adjusted for interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit or provision, depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization from unconsolidated joint ventures, net of basis adjustments, foreign exchange loss or gain, gain on the sale of property and equipment, gain or loss on derivatives, loss on other financial liability, gain on warrant liability, gain on the sale of the Far North joint venture, net of transaction costs, non-recurring transactions, loss or income attributable to non-controlling interests, and stock-based compensation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, further adjusted to exclude loss or gain on digital assets attributable to Hut 8 Corp., thereby removing the effect of mark-to-market fluctuations of digital assets held on the Company's balance sheet. The Company's digital assets are considered primarily long-term holdings, and periodic appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of such holdings does not reflect the results of the Company's core operations.

Expected Net Operating Income (NOI) Contribution

The Company defines expected net operating income (NOI) contribution as expected lease revenue attributable to a particular lease, less any non-reimbursable operating expenses attributable to the leased property. 

How the Company Uses These Measures

The Company's board of directors and management team use Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, and Adjusted EBITDA to assess the Company's financial performance, as these measures allow for the comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of the Company's capital structure, such as varying levels of interest expense and income, its asset base, such as depreciation and amortization, and other items, including the non-recurring transactions described above. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the impact of changes in the fair value of the Company's digital asset holdings, which may otherwise affect the comparability of the Company's financial results across periods.

The Company's management team uses expected NOI contribution to evaluate the anticipated operating performance of a particular lease, independent of the Company's consolidated capital structure or asset base, allowing management to assess the economics of individual leasing arrangements on a comparable basis. Investors are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment described above and the reasons the Company's Board and management team believe these measures provide useful supplemental information.

Limitations

Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, inclusive of digital assets mark-to-market, and Adjusted EBITDA. In evaluating these measures, you should be aware that the Company may incur expenses in the future that are the same as, or similar to, certain adjustments reflected in the calculation of these measures. Accordingly, the presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Operating income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to expected NOI contribution. In evaluating this measure, you should be aware that the Company may incur non-reimbursable lease operating expenses that are not currently known or quantifiable. Accordingly, the Company's presentation of expected NOI contribution should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Expected NOI contribution also excludes the impact of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, each of which has a real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial results. No reconciliation of expected NOI contribution to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this press release because the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in operating income without unreasonable effort, and any such quantification would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

The Company may modify the calculation or presentation of these measures in the future, and any such modification could be material. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company's results as reported in accordance with GAAP. Because other companies, including companies in the Company's industry and Real Estate Investment Trusts, may calculate similarly titled measures differently, the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies, which limits their usefulness for comparative purposes.

SOURCE Hut 8 Corp.

Hut 8 stock is moving in positive territory. Why are HUT shares climbing? Earnings Preview & HistoryHut 8 is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on August 4. Analysts estimate a loss of 33 cents per share along with revenue of $79.75 million. For the prior quarter, Hut 8 reported a loss of $1.98 per share, missing the consensus estimate of a loss of 34 cents per share. The company also posted revenue of $71.02 million, below the consensus estimate of $81.28 million.

What to WatchInvestors will be closely tracking construction progress at River Bend and Beacon Point, Hut 8’s two major AI data center campuses, since neither is expected to contribute meaningfully to revenue until 2027. Updates on the company’s 8,375-megawatt development pipeline will also be in focus, as investors gauge how much additional capacity can convert into long-term leases.

Bitcoin mining and digital asset mark-to-market swings should draw attention too, since unrealized crypto fluctuations have driven outsized net losses even as the business shifts toward AI infrastructure.

From a trend perspective, the stock is still in a strong long-term uptrend: it’s trading 64.7% above the 200-day SMA ($68.62) and 28.3% above the 100-day SMA ($88.06). The nearer-term picture is more mixed, with shares only 1.4% above the 50-day SMA ($111.45) while still 7.3% above the 20-day SMA ($105.30).

RSI is the cleaner momentum read right now, sitting at 51.72, which points to neutral momentum after the stock cooled off from earlier overbought conditions (RSI pushed above 70 in May). In plain terms, RSI helps gauge whether a move is getting stretched; near-52 suggests the stock is closer to "range/decision point" than "overheated."

The moving-average structure also explains the tug-of-war: the 20-day SMA remains below the 50-day SMA (a bearish short-term crossover), even as the 50-day SMA stays above the 200-day SMA (a bullish longer-term backdrop). That combination often produces choppy trading where dips get bought, but breakouts need confirmation.

Key Resistance: $130.00 — a round-number area that sits below the $140.80 52-week high and can act as a spot where rebounds stall Key Support: $104.50 — a nearby floor that lines up closely with the 20-day SMA/EMA zone, making it a practical "trend support" level Analyst Consensus & Recent Actions The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price forecast of $143.33. Recent analyst moves include:

Morgan Stanley: Initiated with Overweight (Target $263.00) (July 23) Benchmark: Buy (Raises Target to $195.00) (July 22) Rosenblatt: Buy (Maintains Target to $124.00) (July 21) Hut Shares Trade HigherHUT Price Action: At the time of publication, Hut shares are trading 2.31% higher at $112.53, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Hut 8 Corp. is upgraded to buy as contracted AI infrastructure capacity reaches ~949 MW, with ~$1.75 billion expected annual NOI under long-term leases. Securing ~$7.5 billion in non-recourse, project-level debt significantly de-risks financing and shields the parent balance sheet from project-specific liabilities. HUT's valuation now reflects successful execution of current capacity; future rerating hinges on energization milestones and additional lease signings.

Asher Genoot, Hut 8 CEO, joins 'Power Lunch' to discuss the company's latest hyperscaler deal, the impact to lower power grids and much more.

Hut 8 Mining Corp (TSX:HUT, Unlisted (US):HUTMF) shares climbed nearly 12% on Monday after the company announced a second long-term lease agreement for its Beacon Point AI data center campus in Texas, fully commercializing the 1-gigawatt facility and increasing its contracted data center portfolio.

The company announced a 15-year lease agreement covering 352 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity with the same high-investment-grade tenant that signed the first phase lease at the campus. The agreement carries a base-term contract value of $9.8 billion and brings the tenant’s total contracted capacity at Beacon Point to 704 MW.

With the transaction, Hut 8’s total contracted AI data center capacity rises to 949 MW across its portfolio, supported by 1,330 MW of utility capacity. The company reported aggregate base-term contract value of $26.6 billion and average annual net operating income of more than $1.75 billion across its contracted AI data center assets.

The Beacon Point campus, located in Nueces County, Texas, is secured by a 1,000 MW utility interconnection agreement with AEP Texas. Hut 8 said the second lease fully commercializes the campus, with the full 1,000 MW capacity now contracted under two 15-year agreements.

The second phase lease will support the development of another 352 MW AI factory designed around Nvidia’s DSX reference architecture for large-scale AI infrastructure. Hut 8 expects initial Phase 2 data hall delivery in the second quarter of 2028.

The company expects the second lease to contribute $9.8 billion in cumulative net operating income over the base term, or approximately $655 million annually once stabilized. Including both phases, Hut 8 expects the full Beacon Point campus to generate $1.31 billion in average annual NOI.

Hut 8 noted that three five-year renewal options under each lease could increase potential campus-level contract value to $50.2 billion if fully exercised.

“The real test of our power-first approach is what our partners are willing to commit against it,” Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said.

“Our tenant at Beacon Point chose to double its footprint at the site, the strongest validation an asset can receive. We took this greenfield site from first lease to full commercialization in just months,” he said.  

“That speaks to the quality of the sites we originate, the credibility of our delivery, and the long-term orientation of our partnerships. The opportunity ahead of us is to apply the same model across our development pipeline.”

The company also highlighted its “power-first” development approach, which involves securing energy capacity before building data center infrastructure. Hut 8 said the Beacon Point project was initially developed around speed-to-power opportunities before being converted into a fully contracted AI data center campus.

Construction activity is underway at the site, with long-lead equipment procured and initial energization still expected in the first quarter of 2027, according to the company.

Like several former bitcoin miners, Hut ​8 has pivoted toward AI infrastructure, seeking to leverage power assets ​and data center expertise developed during the cryptocurrency boom to ⁠serve AI customers.

Demand for compute infrastructure has accelerated since the launch of ​generative AI services, prompting technology companies to commit hundreds of billions of ​dollars toward data centers packed with advanced chips from Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and others.

The rush has shifted competition beyond semiconductors to power, transmission access and construction-ready sites, making electricity availability one ​of the industry's biggest constraints.

The new agreement covers 352 megawatts of ​IT capacity and doubles the unnamed tenant's total contracted footprint at the site to 704 ‌MW. ⁠Hut 8 said the campus now has a base-term contract value of $19.6 billion over 15 years, rising to as much as $50.2 billion if renewal options are exercised.

Total contracted AI data center capacity across Hut 8's portfolio ​has increased to 949 ​MW, backed ⁠by 1,330 MW of utility capacity, with aggregate base-term contract value reaching $26.6 billion, according to the company. All of ​the contracted capacity is leased to, or backed by, ​investment-grade counterparties.

Hut ⁠8 said it redesigned the first data hall at Beacon Point around Nvidia's architecture, increasing capacity by 57% within the same land and utility footprint. ⁠The ​existing tenant subsequently doubled its contracted capacity at ​the campus.

Hut 8 expects to begin delivering the first Phase 2 data hall in the ​second quarter of 2028.
