Riot Platforms reports Q3 EPS 26c, consensus 21c

Reports Q3 revenue $180.2M, consensus $172.3M. “Riot made decisive progress in the development of our data center business this quarter,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot. “This progress has culminated in announcing today the initiation of the core and shell development of the first two buildings at our Corsicana data center campus, representing 112 MW of total critical IT capacity. This development has been made possible by four key achievements this quarter, namely; (i) the acquisition of an additional 67-acre parcel of land directly adjacent to our original Corsicana site, (ii) the completion of the Campus Design for Corsicana, which will transform the entire site for data center development, (iii) the completion of the Basis of Design for our standard data center build, and (iv) the ongoing build out of our in-house data center team.”
