Shares of TeraWulf rallied for the second consecutive trading session. The surge in the company’s shares seems to be driven by investor optimism about Bitcoin's trajectory.

Hence, the shares of this energy infrastructure firm which supports Bitcoin mining and AI/HPC applications drove higher.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +66.7%. Revenues are expected to be $33.37 million, up 76% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For TeraWulf, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 50% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation.
