Is IREN a Bargain on Sales?
Price to sales suits IREN because the business is still reporting losses, so the market is mostly anchoring on revenue rather than earnings. At roughly 10.0x P/S, the stock trades above the wider Software sector average of about 3.5x but below the more focused peer group near 15.2x, which places it in the middle of a very growth‑heavy cluster of AI infrastructure plays.
The Fair Ratio, which reflects what investors might typically pay for IREN given its growth profile, margins, size and risk mix, sits above the current P/S, so the shares screen as undervalued on this framework. Despite the Microsoft contract delays and capex questions that have unsettled AI data center stocks during 2026, the present multiple still prices IREN at a discount to what this model suggests could be justified for its sales base.
