Iron Mountain Incorporated (IRM) has been a subject of considerable debate among investors owing to their recent strategic pivot towards
data center operations. While Truist Securities maintains a target of
$110 on the stock, indicating confidence in the new direction, concerns over insider selling and a short call by Gotham City have raised doubts among certain quarters. Yet, Barclays and others remain bullish on the IRM's prospects. Record revenue growth and surpassing Q3 earnings estimates reinforce the upbeat outlook. However, the company's high valuation and certain business issues have made some investors wary, leading to a downgrade. Nonetheless, others view the post-rally pullback as a fresh opportunity, citing IRM’s disruptive focus on cloud-based platforms and AI monetization. Notwithstanding a strong quarter and an ESOP-linked share offering, the stock has been down 15.7% since the last earnings report. Some analysts have marked it as an attractive long-term bet due to its discounted valuations, resilient legacy business, and richer yields. Despite recent share price momentum and an upgrade to ‘Buy’, the common stock sale by an officer has raised investor concerns. Meanwhile, increased quarterly dividend and robust return prospects paint a somewhat positive picture.
