- Riot Platforms is preparing to report third-quarter results before US trading opens on Wednesday.
- Investors are assessing whether artificial intelligence and high-performance computing can offset pressure on Bitcoin mining operations.
- The company has committed capacity at its Texas sites to long-term data-center contracts as it seeks more predictable revenue.
Riot Platforms is heading into its third-quarter results with investors focused on whether its expansion into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing can reduce its dependence on Bitcoin mining. The company is scheduled to report before the US market opens on Wednesday, according to Reuters via Investing.com, which published its preview on Tuesday, November 3.
Results will test the AI pivot
Analysts cited in the report expect a third-quarter loss of 0.32 US dollars per share and revenue of 159.71 million US dollars for the quarter ended September. The revenue estimate would be lower than the prior quarter, while the projected loss would improve from the previous quarter's 0.68 US dollar loss per share.
Investors will be watching the contribution from AI and high-performance computing, alongside management's timetable and capital needs for converting additional power capacity at the company's Corsicana site in Texas. Riot signed a 20-year, 9.1 billion US dollar compute agreement with Anthropic in August covering 191 megawatts at its Rockdale facility, according to the Reuters preview.
Mining economics remain central
The report also highlighted pressure on the legacy mining business. Riot's Bitcoin-mining revenue fell to 113.7 million US dollars in the second quarter from 140.9 million US dollars a year earlier, while recurring data-center operating leases carried a materially higher gross margin in the comparison cited by Jones Trading analyst Kevin Dede.
