Jefferies and JPMorgan raise Riot Platforms price target to $28 on Corsicana lease deal

Jefferies upgraded Riot Platforms (RIOT) to Buy, lifting its price target from $13 to $28. JPMorgan also raised its target to $28 from $22, citing a new 15‑year powered‑land lease at the Corsicana site that carries $28 billion of contract value. The upgrades sent the stock higher in pre‑market trading.

The higher targets imply roughly 60% upside from the current price, which may attract additional buying interest. The lease provides a large, low‑capex revenue stream that could improve the company’s cash flow profile.
