What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of RIOT's valuation, growth and risks.
Riot Platforms, Inc. (RIOT) has no readable P/E, since the company lost money over the last 12 months, so the measure is not meaningful. On sales, RIOT trades at 8.62 times, a level 126.8% above the sector median of 3.8. Its market capitalisation stands at $5.1B, and its trailing earnings come to -$3.52 a share.
Riot Platforms is not yet profitable. Its net margin is -196.28% and its operating margin is -122.33%. Revenue grew 13.90%, which puts RIOT 2.2 percentage points faster than the sector median of 11.7%. Return on equity stands at -48.24%, below the sector median of 13.8%, and debt-to-equity of 0.40 describes the balance sheet.
EPS of -$0.58 against an estimate of -$0.32 made the August 10, 2026 report a miss of 81.25%. The market reacted the other way, with the stock rising 4.33% the following session.
Over its last 6 reports, RIOT topped the estimate 3 times, yet the stock fell in the first session after every one of those 3 beats. Earlier, the stock fell 17.75% after the July 31, 2025 report, a beat of 621.05%. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of -$1.68 this fiscal year and -$0.9613 the year after.
The 30-day standard deviation of RIOT's daily returns is 4.58%. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 54.75% below its 52-week high of $30.32.

- The two closest levels to watch are the 20-day EMA at $18.22, which sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $11.50, which sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 25.4 places RIOT in the oversold zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 signal stretched momentum.
- RIOT beat estimates in 3 of the last 6 reports. Following the August 10, 2026 report, the share price gained 4.33% in the first session.
The trend on RIOT is down because the price sits under both its 50-day ($20.04) and 200-day ($19.50) averages. A recovery back above the 200-day would be the first real sign of repair. Above the price, the closest level is the 20-day EMA at $18.22.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $11.50. RSI has fallen under the oversold line, which shows how washed out momentum is. A move back above that line would be an early hint that the decline is levelling off.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in RIOT, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in RIOT today could grow to about $25,922 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $196,658 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,417. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
RIOT Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $20.08 for RIOT by 2030 in the base case, from $13.72 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $5.57. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on RIOT's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $7.95 | $15.09 | $28.64 | |
| 2028 | $6.71 | $16.60 | $41.08 | |
| 2029 | $6.02 | $18.26 | $55.40 | |
| 2030 | $5.57 | $20.08 | $72.35 | |
| 2031 | $5.27 | $22.09 | $92.57 |
Method: a lognormal simulation of RIOT's own volatility and capped historical trend, re-run daily; base case is the median path, the outer columns the 10th and 90th percentiles. RIOT is highly volatile, so its upside column reaches an extreme multiple; treat it as a statistical tail, not an expectation.
