Can IREN go bankrupt?
Altman Z2 is not used for banks and financial companies — their balance sheet is built on debt (that is the business model), so the model would wrongly classify a healthy bank as distressed. For IREN, look instead at the capital base (e.g. the core capital ratio), loan losses and earnings power.

No, IREN has low debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 5%. For the financiel service sector, anything below 80% counts as low debt. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector. Can IREN service its debt? Could struggle to service its debt — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is -16.1x, and net debt equals 11.9 years of earnings (EBITDA).
