Episode notes

INSIGHT

Australian NeoCloud Success Story

Iron (formerly Iris Energy) pivoted from bitcoin mining to AI-focused data centers and signed a US$9.7bn deal with Microsoft.
The ASX rejected their 2021 listing for crypto links, and Iron now has a larger market cap than the ASX itself.

INSIGHT

ASX Missed A Major Listing

Iris (now Iron) tried to list on the ASX in 2021 but was rejected due to perceived crypto links.
Iron listed in the US and now trades at roughly three times the ASX market cap, highlighting a missed domestic opportunity.

ADVICE

Mind The Expectations Game

Earnings season is primarily an expectations game where beating fundamentals can still disappoint if forecasts were higher.
Prioritize valuation and expectations over raw growth percentages when reacting to results.
