Riot Platforms Receives Double Upgrade from JPMorgan and Citi on AI Pivot

RIOT
October 05, 2025

Riot Platforms received a double upgrade from two major financial institutions, with JPMorgan upgrading its rating to Overweight and Citi upgrading to Buy. These upgrades reflect renewed optimism regarding Riot's strategic direction.

JPMorgan raised its price target for Riot shares to $18 from $15, while Citi increased its price target to $20 from $15. These higher targets are primarily driven by the perceived potential of Riot's AI pivot and the value of its Corsicana facility.

The analyst upgrades underscore Wall Street's growing confidence in Riot's strategy to leverage its large-scale power infrastructure for high-performance computing applications. JPMorgan also concurrently downgraded IREN and CleanSpark to Neutral.
