TeraWulf (NasdaqCM:WULF) Sees 15% Drop Last Week As 2024 Financials Show Narrowed Net Loss

TeraWulf (NasdaqCM:WULF) saw its share price decrease by 15% last week. The decline followed the company's announcement on February 28, detailing its financial results for 2024, where it reported a narrowed net loss compared to the previous year, alongside the completion of a significant share buyback program. While these developments occurred, broader market sentiment was impacted by President Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on auto imports, contributing to a general downturn in markets, evidenced by a 1.7% decline over the past week. Such an environment can weigh on investment sentiment, influencing price movements like those experienced by WULF.

Over the past year, TeraWulf's total shareholder return was 3.42%. This performance exceeded the US Software industry's return of a 2.7% decline but fell short of the US market's return of 5.6%. Key events include the completion of a US$150 million share buyback program, significantly reducing outstanding shares by 6.27%, potentially supporting shares by providing a return of capital to shareholders. TeraWulf's revenue saw marked growth, doubling from US$69.23 million in FY 2023 to US$140.05 million in FY 2024, which may indicate positive operational progress despite ongoing unprofitability.
