As of October 30, 2026, RIOT trades at $12.80, with a market value of $5.16B.
What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of RIOT's valuation, growth and risks.
RIOT has no readable P/E, since its earnings per share over the last 12 months are negative, which makes the ratio not meaningful.
RIOT is losing money: its net margin stands at -132.8% and its operating margin at -122.33%. Return on equity is -48.24%, below the sector median of 13.8%. Debt-to-equity of 0.40 completes the balance sheet picture.
In its latest quarterly report, on August 10, 2026, RIOT reported EPS of -$0.58 against an estimate of -$0.32, a worse result than analysts expected. The market reacted the other way, with the stock rising 4.33% the following session.
RIOT has topped the EPS estimate in 2 of the 5 reports in our data, but the stock dropped in the first session after both of those beats. Further back, the stock fell 17.75% after the July 31, 2025 report, which beat the estimate by 621.05%. Analysts forecast EPS of -$1.68 for this fiscal year and -$0.88 for the year after.
RIOT's daily returns have a 30-day standard deviation of 4.47%, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 3.76. The trend will keep working against holders until the price climbs back above its moving averages. At present the stock is 57.80% below its 52-week high of $30.32.

Revenue growth: Revenue grew 71.9% in FY2025 to $647M, from $377M a year earlier.
Profit margin: The net margin was -102.4% in FY2025, down from 29.0% the year before.

Earnings miss, but the stock rose ›
The August 10, 2026 report missed the EPS estimate by 81.25%, and the share price rose 4.33% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, August 10, 2026
- Two levels matter most right now: the 20-day EMA at $15.18, which sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $11.50, which sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 32.6, which is bearish, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- In the first session after the August 10, 2026 report, the share price rose 4.33%. Over the 5 reports in our data, RIOT beat estimates in 2 of them.
RIOT sits beneath both its 50-day ($18.77) and 200-day ($19.41) averages, and that is why the trend reads down. A move back above the 50-day would be the first sign of repair. The 20-day EMA, at $15.18, is the closest level above the price.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $11.50. With the RSI in the bearish zone, momentum still leans toward lower prices.

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 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in RIOT today could grow to about $14,548 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $52,406 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $4,038. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
RIOT Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $18.61 for RIOT by 2030 in the base case, from $12.80 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $5.17. 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 | $7.40 | $14.05 | $26.67 | |
| 2028 | $6.24 | $15.43 | $38.19 | |
| 2029 | $5.59 | $16.95 | $51.42 | |
| 2030 | $5.17 | $18.61 | $67.05 |
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. How the simulation works
