Each figure against the range this same company has produced recently. Neither end of a range is the good end.
Profit as a share of sales, from the company's own quarterly statements. The range covers the 5 quarters we hold, and the figure shown is its most recent one.
How these ranges are built
Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.
What does Hut 8 Corp. do?
Hut 8 makes money by using massive banks of computers to solve complex puzzles that secure the Bitcoin network, earning them digital coins in return. They also provide the physical space and power needed for other companies to run their own high-tech computing equipment. Because their current costs often outweigh the money coming in, the volatile price of Bitcoin largely determines whether they can turn a profit.

How has it performed?
Growth of £1,000, the worst fall, and year by year
Over about 2 years to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
How much has Hut 8 Corp. actually fallen?
Over the last 2 years of daily prices, Hut 8 Corp. fell as much as −65% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.
