Hut 8 stock is charging ahead with explosive momentum. Why is HUT stock surging?
Alphabet’s Third-Party Comment Sent HUT Higher in After-Hours
Wednesday’s after-hours move began with a single comment from Alphabet’s finance chief. CFO Anat Ashkenazi told listeners on the company’s earnings call that Google intends to bring in more third-party data center capacity during the third quarter to bridge the gap while its own construction pipeline catches up with demand.
The reason she gave was straightforward: years of aggressive internal buildout have still not been enough to keep pace with what customers are asking for. Hut 8 jumped in after-hours trading on the back of that comment.
