What would change the picture for CIFR

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

• The Nov. 2, 2026 earnings report (7 days away). Cipher Digital Inc. beat estimates in 0 of the last 4 quarters (average surprise -183.3%); a miss would break that pattern.
• Insider buying: none on the open market in 90 days. A purchase by an executive or director would be the first in at least three months, and it would show up on SEC Form 4 within two business days.
• Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 4.13 to 4.16 over three months (on a scale where 5 is strong buy and 1 is strong sell). A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
• Price levels: a close above $29.18 would be a new 52-week high, 267.5% above the latest close of $7.94; a close below $7.94 would be a new 52-week low, 0% below it.
• Growth: revenue rose 20.3% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026 (trend: slowing).
• New shares: dilution risk is high now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

Price-to-sales

Market value divided by the last 12 months of revenue. Useful for companies with little or no profit, but it ignores margins.

Form 4

The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.

Open-market trade

A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.

Form 13F

A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.
