They cited Bitfarm’s actions to embark on a fleet upgrade and growth strategy and anticipate a reduction in electricity costs.&nbsp;

They view the shares as an <a href="https://crypto.news/bitfarms-founders-may-not-be-acting-in-best-interests-of-shareholders/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/bitfarms-founders-may-not-be-acting-in-best-interests-of-shareholders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">attractive investment</a> with a Buy rating and a $4 price target, implying 75% potential upside from current levels due to its growth plans and operational performance.

Bitfarms aims to significantly reduce its direct production costs through an upgraded and more energy-efficient mining fleet, per the report. They estimate a 30% decrease in direct production costs per Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) mined, resulting in improved gross margins.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="faster-operations-and-a-new-ceo">Faster operations and a new CEO&nbsp;</h2>
Bitfarms owns and operates its mining facilities with over 75% renewable hydropower, resulting in nearly 100% uptime. In 2023, the company achieved the highest utilization rate among miners with over 4 EH/s and earned an estimated 11% more BTC per EH/s compared to its peers.
Bitfarms has also initiated the search for a new CEO following <a href="https://crypto.news/bitfarms-gets-a-new-ceo-days-after-the-sale-of-a-3-6m-property/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/bitfarms-gets-a-new-ceo-days-after-the-sale-of-a-3-6m-property/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Geoff Morphy’s</a> termination on May 13. In the meantime, Co-Founder and Chairman Nico Bonta will serve as the interim CEO until a successor is identified, which is expected to happen in the next few weeks. Despite the change in CEO, Bitfarms’ management team’s expertise and capability should help maintain the company’s growth initiatives in the near term, although this transition may raise concerns for potential new investors.
