Cipher Mining is trading 7.9% down at $22.25 as investors brace for its second-quarter 2026 business update and earnings release scheduled for August 4, before the market opens.

  • Analysts expect weaker Q2 results with revenue and net income down year-over-year, which may be prompting profit-taking following the stock's recent AI/HPC pivot-driven rally.
  • The downward move comes despite only modest overnight price action in major cryptocurrencies, suggesting investor focus is centered on the upcoming financial results.
