The Nasdaq is down 0.93% while the S&P 500 has shed 0.73%, and Technology is also lagging with a 2.1% loss. Hut 8 is scheduled to report financial results on August 4. Consensus projections expect an EPS loss of 32 cents, down from $1.18 in the same period last year. Meanwhile, analysts project revenue of $81 million, up from $41.30 million year-over-year. **Read Also: This Top Homebuilder's CEO Just Said the Housing Market Is 'Pretty Good'— Even as Revenue Fell 11%** ## Wall Street Analyst Consensus The stock carries a consensus Buy rating with an average price forecast of $103. Analyst actions include **Keefe, Bruyette & Woods** reiterating an Outperform rating and raising its target to $157 on Tuesday, alongside **Benchmark** raising its price forecast to $195 on July 22. On July 23, **Morgan Stanley** initiated coverage on the company with an Overweight rating and a $263 price forecast.

The stock is sitting just 0.2% above its 100-day SMA ($89.48) and remains 29.1% above its 200-day SMA ($69.43), so the bigger trend hasn’t fully broken—yet. The moving-average structure is mixed: the 20-day SMA is below the 50-day SMA (bearish for the near-term), but the 50-day SMA is still above the 200-day SMA (a bullish longer-term backdrop). From a levels perspective, traders will likely focus on whether price can hold the nearby support zone below. ## What Is Hut 8 and Its Business Model?
