Analysts at H.C. Wainright are optimistic about Cipher Mining Inc.’s (CIFR) investment strategy, projecting an upside potential to $6.
Cipher Mining Inc. has announced an upgrade to its mining fleet in Odessa, leading to an upward revision of its 2024 and 2025 hash rate targets following a revised contract. Due to this upgrade, H.C. Wainright analysts have raised their price target from $5.50 to $6, implying significant potential growth from the current trading price of $4.15.
The updated contract accelerates delivery timelines and includes the newest S21 Pro miners, which will replace the initially requested T21s. As a result, Cipher’s self-mining hash rate target for 2024 has been increased by 45% to 13.5 EH/s.

CIFRβs Optimistic Future
This upgrade will phase out old equipment and deploy new miners at CIFRβs Odessa facility. The new miners are expected to significantly improve the companyβs efficiency and cost-effectiveness, positioning CIFR as a leader in the industry.
For 2025, CIFR has further raised its outlook by 40% to 35 EH/s, anticipating full power capacity at its Black Pearl site. Once fully operational, the fleet-wide efficiency is projected to reach 15 J/TH.
CIFRβs stock responded positively to the update, closing 5% higher and outperforming the Nasdaq. Supported by low power costs, the company aims for a 15% efficiency lead over competitors by the end of 2024.
H.C. Wainright analysts reiterate a Buy rating, reflecting confidence in CIFRβs strategic direction and execution.
