Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CLSK

10/23/2026: CLSK (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

CleanSpark Inc is a prominent North American Bitcoin mining company that focuses on operational efficiency and sustainable power procurement. The company's primary investment story centers on its ability to rapidly scale hashrate capacity through infrastructure acquisition and consistent fleet modernization. While it has a leading position in terms of operational uptime, the business faces material risks, including high sensitivity to Bitcoin price volatility and the potential for regulatory headwinds. The stock is best suited for growth-oriented investors who are comfortable with the inherent risks of the cryptocurrency sector. Investors should monitor developments in power costs, network difficulty trends, and the company's progress in diversifying into high-performance computing.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CLSK receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by soft quantitative characteristics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CLSK has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, strong growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+350.0%) and strong revenue growth (+102.2%) are partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -133.6%), modest insider ownership of 4.01%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CLSK's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 41.6% and operating margin of 41.6%. Cash strength is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is CLSK's strongest growth driver at +350.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+102.2%, strong) is also strong, while free-cash-flow growth (+1.6%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 100.1% and approximately 96.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.01% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
CLSK generates approximately $416 of gross profit, $416 of operating income, and $-1,336 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Weak margins and weak cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 9.69%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CLSK has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
