Riot Platforms (ISIN US7672921050) stock was trading at USD 18.00 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026, down 4.91 percent. The next company reporting date is October 29, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

Revenue rose 14 percent

Riot Platforms reported Q2 2026 revenue of USD 174.24 million, up 14 percent from USD 153.0 million in Q2 2025, according to Yahoo Finance. The same quarter produced a net loss of USD 237.17 million and GAAP normalized earnings per share of negative USD 0.58, compared with a consensus estimate of negative USD 0.32.

The revenue increase is meaningful because it came alongside a sharply negative bottom line. For the next results date, the revenue estimate is USD 159.75 million from 18 analysts, while the average GAAP earnings estimate is negative USD 0.29, according to Yahoo Finance.

Analyst targets remain above price

Markets Insider lists a median target of USD 25.28 from 52 analysts, with a high estimate of USD 43.00 and a low estimate of USD 12.00. Against the USD 18.00 reference price, the median target lies 40.4 percent above the price.

That spread leaves the earnings release as the next test of the data center strategy. In the August 10, 2026 earnings call, Riot said contracted data center revenue had reached USD 9.8 billion, including a 20-year AI lab lease worth USD 9.1 billion, according to Yahoo Finance.
