IREN Ltd. (NASDAQ:IREN) rebounded on Friday, climbing 20.02 percent to close at $21.64 apiece, following strong earnings that saw net losses slashed markedly, signaling that growing revenues from its AI business are beginning to translate into financial gains, helping justify its heavy investments in the platform.

On a sequential basis, total revenues increased by 66 percent to $228 million from $137 million, although the figure represented a year-on-year dip of 5 percent from $240.3 million amid its shift to AI cloud servicing from Bitcoin mining.
Of the total revenues, AI Cloud revenues accounted for $200 million, while Bitcoin mining represented $28 million.
Last year, Bitcoin mining was the company's highest revenue-generating business, accounting for $232.9 million, while AI Cloud represented only $7.3 million of the total.
