WSB User's Timing Regret Highlights NBIS & IREN Volatility Amid AI/Bitcoin Infrastructure Demand

A WallStreetBets user shared regret over fully porting into NBIS and IREN near recent peaks, resulting in a loss [10]. Comments highlighted Goldman Sachs’ $155 price target for NBIS and its upcoming MSCI Global Index inclusion on November 24 [10]. Several users noted institutional buying and projected a return to all-time highs by 2026, while others advised patience, averaging down, or selling covered calls to improve positions [10]. One user projected IREN could reach $300 in two years, though a caution was raised about potential understated risks [10].

Nov 9-15 2025 saw significant volatility for both stocks: NBIS traded in an intraday range of $80-$89 on Nov15 with higher-than-average volume [1,3,5]. IREN had conflicting price signals—one source indicated a 67.52% weekly gain while another showed a $47.38 price with a 2.59% decline [2,4,7,8,9]. NBIS faced mixed Q3 earnings and share concerns [5,6]. Both operate in AI infrastructure but with distinct models: NBIS focuses on AI-centric cloud and ML services, while IREN combines renewable energy, Bitcoin mining, and AI cloud computing [1,2,6,7]. Long-term revenue targets are strong: NBIS aims for a $7-9B annualized run rate by end-2026 [6], and IREN forecasts $3.4B in AI cloud ARR by end-2026 [7].

The Reddit user’s timing regret aligns with research’s volatility data, emphasizing high-beta risk in these AI/bitcoin infrastructure stocks [10,1-9]. Conflicting IREN price data may stem from differing data sources or intraday swings [2,4,7-9]. Long-term optimism from Reddit comments (e.g., MSCI inclusion, 2026 targets) is supported by research’s revenue projections, though near-term mixed signals (NBIS earnings, IREN price inconsistency) warrant caution [10,5-7].

Risks include timing risk (underscored by the WSB post), high-beta volatility, NBIS’s mixed Q3 earnings, and IREN’s conflicting price data [10,1-9]. Opportunities lie in NBIS’s upcoming MSCI inclusion (Nov24), potential December rate cuts (mentioned in Reddit comments), strong AI infrastructure demand, and long-term revenue growth targets [10,6,7].
