Earnings Summary
Cipher Mining Inc. is a U.S.-based data‑center developer focused on large‑scale, industrial‑level infrastructure, positioning itself within the rapidly expanding high‑performance computing sector. In Q4 2024 the company posted a strong EPS of $0.14 versus an estimate of $0.05 and revenue of $42.2 million, while Q1 2025 saw a modest EPS of $0.02 against a $0.04 estimate and revenue of $48.9 million, indicating a slight revenue uptick but a decline in profitability. The subsequent Q2 2025 EPS of $0.08 beat the $0.06 estimate and revenue fell to $43.6 million, whereas Q3 2025 EPS of $0.10 narrowly missed the $0.11 estimate but revenue surged to $71.7 million, reflecting a revenue acceleration despite a modest EPS miss. In Q4 2025 the company reported a negative EPS of –$1.92 against a –$0.03 estimate and revenue of $59.7 million versus an $88.6 million estimate, marking a sharp revenue shortfall and a significant earnings decline. The trend over the past four quarters shows revenue growth in the first three quarters followed by a steep drop in Q4 2025, while EPS moved from a positive beat to a substantial miss, underscoring volatility in profitability. Recent news highlights a 20‑year lease extension at the Barber Lake data center that lifted contracted revenue above $9 billion, yet investors expressed concerns over a $359 million cost overrun and execution risk, which may explain the share price decline and the company’s cautious outlook.

47%

Cipher Mining Inc. is currently running 81.2% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against CIFR's own 6 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 19th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 105.2%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

CIFR is trading -47.1% below its running peak. Across 5 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -66.4%, and the deepest was -90.3% in 2022. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits -15.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 33rd percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year CIFR closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 5 years of records, CIFR finished the month higher 3 of 5 times, with a median return of +26.9% and an average of +14.6%. Its strongest month historically has been March at +15.6% on average, its weakest December at -15.5%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: CIFR has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 481 of 1,464 sessions (32.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +15.5% and -14.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, CIFR moved an average of 4.3% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -3.5% and a largest of -8.8%.

All figures computed from 1,465 daily closes between 2020-12-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against CIFR's own 6-year history, not a peer group or index.
