IREN secures $2.8B financing and AI lab deal as $684M quarterly loss hits shares

Data centre firm IREN signed a multi-year contract with an undisclosed frontier AI lab and secured $2.8 billion in new financing to fund AI chip purchases. The financing includes a $2.4 billion facility led by Blue Owl and Pacific Investment Management Company. IREN reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $684 million, compared with net income of $176.9 million a year earlier. The loss included a $450.4 million non-cash impairment from decommissioning bitcoin mining hardware as the company transitions to AI cloud services. Revenue fell 27% to $137.2 million but exceeded analysts' estimates of $136.8 million. IREN shares dropped more than 7% in extended trading following the results. The company said its 2026 compute capacity was largely sold out.

Ingenico secures $168M from PIMCO to restructure debt and expand cloud payment platforms

Ingenico has secured €150 million in funding from a PIMCO-led investor group to restructure its capital and accelerate its shift towards cloud-based payment technology. The Paris-based company will use the investment to scale its AXIUM family of Android-based payment devices and expand Ingenico 360, a unified cloud platform consolidating device management, transaction services, and analytics. The funding supports Ingenico's transition from hardware sales to a platform-as-a-service model. The company is opening new offices in London, San Francisco, and Istanbul to house Customer Excellence teams providing localised support. Newly appointed CEO Floris de Kort said the investment enables faster execution on product development and customer service priorities. The recapitalisation aims to strengthen Ingenico's balance sheet whilst funding innovation across its core payment acceptance solutions for retailers, banks, and fintech companies.
