KEEL, the Nasdaq- and Toronto-listed digital and energy infrastructure company formerly focused on Bitcoin mining and now pivoting toward high-performance computing (HPC) and AI data centers, saw its shares plunge in Thursday's session. The stock dropped approximately 20%, last trading around $1.68 after closing the prior session at $2.10. Markets attributed the decline primarily to a weaker-than-expected third-quarter earnings report, compounded by an earlier analyst price-target reduction and a broad selloff in technology and growth stocks.
The most immediate catalyst was the company's third-quarter 2026 results, which revealed a sharp deterioration in profitability and revenue. Revenue fell to $28 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, down from $68 million in the same period a year earlier. The decline largely reflected the deliberate wind-down of U.S. Bitcoin mining operations as KEEL shifts its focus to HPC and AI data center infrastructure. Losses from continuing operations widened to $62 million, or $0.10 per share, versus a loss of $11 million, or $0.02 per share, a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA swung to negative $27 million from a positive $19 million in the prior-year quarter, underscoring the costs of the ongoing strategic transition.
Adding to the negative sentiment, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Stephen Glagola lowered his price target on KEEL earlier in the week to $3.00 from $4.50 — a 33% reduction — while maintaining a Hold rating. The analyst cited a need for greater clarity around construction costs, project financing, and the risk of softening demand for colocation space. Broader analyst commentary has also flagged concerns about permitting timelines for the company's priority data center sites and the absence of signed tenant agreements, factors that keep the stock in a high-risk, narrative-driven category in the eyes of many market participants.
The earnings-driven move unfolded against a challenging macro backdrop. U.S. equities fell broadly, with the S&P 500 down roughly 2.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average off about 1.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite sliding approximately 4.1%. This risk-off tone hit high-beta, pre-profitability growth names in technology and digital infrastructure disproportionately hard. With a five-year monthly beta above 4, KEEL is particularly sensitive to such market-wide turbulence, which magnified the impact of its company-specific news.
Trading volume in KEEL has been elevated in recent sessions, with daily turnover in the tens of millions of shares, consistent with heavy conviction selling as investors reassess the risk-reward of holding a capital-intensive AI infrastructure company that has yet to reach positive cash flow. The stock has been trending lower for weeks, and Thursday's decline pushed it closer to the bottom of its 52-week range, well below its 200-day simple moving average. The move diverged sharply from the broader market's already-negative tone, reflecting a company-specific de-rating layered on top of sector-wide weakness.
Looking ahead, investors will focus on KEEL's ability to execute its transition away from Bitcoin mining and toward contracted HPC and AI data center capacity. Key watch items include progress on permitting for priority sites, the signing of long-term tenant agreements, and clarity on how the company intends to fund its build-out. Risks remain substantial: construction cost overruns, financing uncertainty, and any further softening in demand for colocation space could weigh on sentiment. Conversely, tangible lease signings or financing milestones could help stabilize the stock. As always, the balance of execution risk against a still-large, cash-rich balance sheet will be central to the narrative in the months ahead.
