  "account": "On November 5, IREN, a neocloud firm, surpassed quarterly revenue expectations, propelled by robust growth in its AI cloud division. This surge led to a more than 9% increase in the company's shares during extended trading hours. Companies like IREN are constructing energy-intensive data centers that they subsequently lease to firms engaged in AI model development and execution. IREN's AI cloud revenue for the first quarter surged to $200 million, a considerable jump from $71 million in the previous quarter. The firm projected its target of over $4 billion in annualized run-rate revenue is fully contracted and financed. However, the operational capacity is now slated for completion by the end of January, an extension from its initial year-end target. IREN's assets and revenue are backed by contracts with Nvidia, Microsoft, and 13 other customers. Approximately two-thirds of the company's revenue pipeline is contingent on investment-grade counterparties. In the quarter ending September 30, total revenue reached $228 million, outpacing the average analyst estimate of $221.28 million, as per data sourced from LSEG.",
