Keefe Downgrades Bitfarms Amid Liquidity Concerns
Bitfarms Ltd. experienced a significant decline of 5.10% in regular trading, hitting a 20-day low amid broader market weakness with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.23% and the S&P 500 down 0.50%.
The downgrade from Keefe Bruyette to 'Market Perform' with a price target of $3 reflects concerns over Bitfarms' liquidity risks, as analysts believe the company may not secure a leasing agreement until the second half of 2026. Additionally, the company is facing rising leverage and elevated capital expenditure pressures, which contributed to a more than 1% decline in after-hours trading on Monday. Furthermore, Bitfarms has proactively raised capital through a $588 million offering of convertible senior notes and is in the process of selling its 70 MW site in Paraguay for $30 million, expecting to receive $9 million in cash upon closing in Q1 2026.
These developments indicate a challenging environment for Bitfarms, as the downgrade and liquidity concerns may impact investor confidence and the company's ability to navigate its financial obligations effectively.
