How we checked this
Checked on November 9, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The article says IREN had a generator fire at the Texas site in April but does not give the year. Its November 2026 dateline only suggests 2026.
Confirmed in the source:
- IREN experienced a generator fire at its Texas campus site
- The generator fire occurred in April
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- The April generator fire occurred specifically in 2026 (the article does not state the year)
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of the publisher (https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/iren-stock-plunges-18-microsoft-162134051.html) in full (9,475 characters, retrieved November 8, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
