Iren Impairment Triggers Broad Shakeout in AI Data-Center Stocks

A nine-figure impairment at IREN tied to obsolete mining hardware sent IREN down roughly 12–13% midday, dragging capex-heavy AI data-center peers like Applied Digital and Core Scientific lower as investors reprice the sector’s pivot from mining to AI compute; the broader data-center fund DTCR and major indices moved little, signaling stock-specific pressure rather than a macro downturn.

Sega's Rovio bet falters as Angry Birds loses lift in a tougher mobile market

Sega Sammy’s 2023 $776 million purchase of Rovio to leverage Angry Birds and Beacon tech has produced a $200 million impairment, with profitability falling short of forecasts. Analysts attribute slower mobile growth, higher user-acquisition costs, and the lingering effects of Apple’s ATT, arguing that merely owning a mature IP isn’t enough in today’s market. Rovio is set to rebuild and pursue a broader transmedia strategy with new IP, while Sega reassesses how to monetize the brand and integrate Rovio’s tech, emphasizing cross-media, platform partnerships, and expanding beyond Angry Birds.

Sony Writes Down Bungie Value by $765 Million Amid Marathon and Destiny 2 Slump

Sony disclosed a $765 million impairment charge against Bungie’s assets for FY2025/26, driven by the underperformance of Destiny 2 and Marathon.
