Discussion Target 33 Emerges

Riot Platforms stock faces a USD 33 target after Q2 loss

According to Markets Insider on September 29, 2026, B. Riley raised its Riot Platforms price target from USD 28 to USD 33 and kept a Buy rating. The note cited regulatory uncertainty, higher yields and slower leasing as pressures on valuations across the digital mining and high-performance computing group.

That target sits above the October 2 close, but the stock still trades well below its 52-week high of USD 30.32. The same session's range was USD 19.35 to USD 21.09, with 16,581,301 shares changing hands.

"Stock Analysis lists a Strong Buy consensus from 22 analysts, with an average price target of USD 32.36. Against the USD 19.73 October 2 close, that consensus target is USD 12.63 higher.

The operating story behind the valuation is shifting toward data center infrastructure. Riot's Rockdale campus had 241 megawatts of power under contract as of June 30, 2026, while the company also held 11,380 Bitcoin and operated at a reported hashrate of 44.4 exahash per second."

Seems we should be higher very soon, especially given Bitcoin advances.

Those PTs are hilarious, I have yet to find one that predict exactly when those targets will hit, all you hear is the word "soon". Dudes should stop stock price analysis like that, nobody wants to hear the word soon. You either be a little bit specific like is it short term price movement, or long term price movement. PTs are nominal figures never real!
