(NASDAQ: CAN) remains a highly leveraged play on the Bitcoin ecosystem, designing ASIC mining chips and expanding its self-mining operations. While the company achieved strong revenue growth in FY2025 ($529.7 million, up 96.7% YoY), Q1 2026 highlighted severe cyclical headwinds. Revenue fell sequentially to $62.7 million, and a $25 million non-cash inventory write-down led to a net loss of $88.7 million. Canaan's strategic shift toward North American joint ventures and energy-integrated computing (such as its partnership with Tether) provides long-term optionality. However, persistent unprofitability, high capital expenditure requirements, and tariff uncertainties warrant a cautious Hold stance. This section is the 12-month view: analyst targets and the probability-weighted scenarios built from them. The intrinsic value at the top of this page answers a different question: what the business is worth today.

Increased U.S. tariffs (potentially up to 145% in extreme reciprocal cases) severely restrict North American sales, which currently represent over 80% of product revenue. Cash burn accelerates, requiring dilutive equity raises or ATM facility utilization. Base CaseCentral scenario $1.7255% Matches the consensus meanBitcoin prices consolidate in a volatile range, keeping mining machine demand moderate. Canaan's Q2 2026 revenue lands within the guided range of $35 million to $45 million. The company continues to accumulate BTC and ETH in its treasury while gradually improving fleet efficiency, but remains unprofitable on a GAAP basis due to ongoing depreciation and inventory adjustments. Bull CaseUpside scenario $3.0025% A sustained rally in Bitcoin prices and network hashprice drives a surge in demand for Canaan's next-generation Avalon A16 XP series. Successful execution of the Texas joint ventures (adding ~4.4 EH/s) and follow-on orders from Tether for immersion-cooled modules significantly boost high-margin product and mining revenues, leading to positive GAAP net income. Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale. Key Investment Merits
