Investing.com - H.C. Wainwright has reiterated its Buy rating and $8.00 price target on Cango Inc. (NYSE:CANG) following the company’s second-quarter 2025 financial results. The stock, currently trading at $4.73, has shown remarkable momentum with a 179.88% return over the past year and 37.5% over the last six months, according to InvestingPro data.
Cango reported revenue of $139.8 million for Q2 2025, down from $145.2 million in the previous quarter. The company, which transitioned from car purchase financing to bitcoin mining, now operates with 43.7 exahash per second (Eh/s) as of the end of August, representing 87% efficiency of its 50 Eh/s deployed capacity. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains a GOOD financial health score of 2.58, though it’s currently trading at a relatively high earnings multiple.
The June quarter marked a significant strategic shift for Cango through the divestiture of legacy car finance assets and the purchase of additional mining capacity, positioning it among top-tier bitcoin miners. The company has mined 3,879 bitcoins since entering the industry, including 664 in August, up from 651 in July.
Cango held 5,193 bitcoins at the end of August, valued at approximately $580 million based on recent prices. The company continues its asset-light mining approach while making strategic purchases of energy assets, including a fully-operating 50MW facility in Georgia acquired on August 11.
H.C. Wainwright noted that Cango’s operating efficiency in August was affected by heat-related curtailment, with the company aiming to improve efficiency above 90% through the acquisition of more efficient miners that can operate during curtailment periods.
