Benchmark raised its price target for Bitcoin mining hardware maker Canaan to $4, citing recent compliance news and increasing demand for the company’s rigs. The investment bank highlighted that Canaan had met Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement of $1 per share. This move removes any risk of the company being delisted.
Canaan’s Stock Stability Drives Investor Optimism
Last week, Canaan received a notification from Nasdaq confirming it had met the minimum bid price of $1 per share. This development assures that Canaan’s stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Mark Palmer, an equity research analyst at Benchmark, emphasized the importance of this compliance in enhancing market confidence.
Moreover, Canaan’s stock has been trading above $1 since October, reinforcing investor optimism. “This compliance milestone helps the company focus on growth, with the added benefit of increasing investor trust,” Palmer said. This stability has helped Canaan regain attention and confidence in its stock.
Benchmark also praised Canaan’s Avalon line of Bitcoin mining rigs for gaining popularity among miners. These rigs offer improved efficiency, reliability, and cost competitiveness, key factors in a challenging mining landscape. According to Palmer, these attributes have made Canaan’s mining equipment increasingly attractive to Bitcoin miners.
In addition to the hardware’s performance, Canaan’s balance sheet remains strong. The company holds a record 1,582 Bitcoins and 2,830 Ethereum, totaling over $186 million in value. This robust asset base supports Canaan’s financial position and contributes to the company’s overall market appeal.
Investors Eye Canaan’s Turnaround Amid Strong Demand
Canaan recently secured its largest order in three years, with over 50,000 Avalon A15 Pro Bitcoin mining machines. This order, placed by an unnamed U.S. customer, demonstrates strong demand for the company’s latest-generation hardware. The A15 Pro is designed for high efficiency and reliability, crucial for miners navigating rising power costs and profitability challenges.
Investors are viewing Canaan’s stock options favorably, considering the company’s ongoing turnaround and strategic positioning. Despite the broader market selloff of crypto-related shares, Benchmark sees this as an attractive entry point for investors. The current price target of $4 suggests a significant upside potential from Canaan’s current stock price of $1.80.
