Movement Alert|Riot Platforms Rises 5.24% in Regular Trading, Multiple Investment Banks Raise Target Prices Amid Anthropic Computing Deal Catalyst

Market Focus
Aug 27

On August 27, Riot Platforms rose 5.24% in regular trading, trading at $21.674/share, with turnover of approximately $80.06 million.

The rally was driven by a wave of target price upgrades from major investment banks combined with continued momentum from the company's landmark Anthropic deal. Specifically, JPMorgan raised its target to $22 on August 18, Morgan Stanley set a $43 target on August 14, Macquarie lifted its target to $35 from $30 while maintaining an Outperform rating on August 12, and Piper Sandler raised its target to $25 on the same day. The consensus mean price target among analysts stands at approximately $32.98.

The broader catalyst remains the company's August 11 announcement of a 20-year, 191-megawatt data center lease agreement with Anthropic, with projected total revenue of $9.1 billion. This deal marks a pivotal step in Riot Platforms' transformation toward AI/HPC infrastructure. The crypto and computing power sector was broadly stronger on the day, with Strategy rising 10.14%.
