Cipher Mining reversed a 6% intraday loss from earlier Thursday morning (per 247wallst.com) to trade +8.82%, closing the session at $17.35 versus an open near $15.94.

Cipher Mining (CIFR) fell 7.91% to $17.05, driven by lingering investor concerns over a wider-than-expected Q2 net loss, sharp decline in Bitcoin-mining revenues, and high financing costs tied to its pivot toward AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, per web sources.

Volume at 18.4M shares (1.27x expected for 170 minutes into session) reflects normal intraday activity.
Cipher Mining fell 7.51% to $15.51 on continued weakness from Q2 results showing a $267.5 million net loss ($0.65 per share) and $24.84 million revenue that missed expectations, per Benzinga.
