HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIVE#NASDAQ">HIVE</a>) on Thursday reported its fiscal fourth-quarter results.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rosenblatt Securities On HIVE Digital Technologies</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5841bdbcaae83900016b3c77/chris-brendler">Analyst Chris Brendler</a> maintained a Buy rating, while cutting the price target from $5.50 to $5.
HIVE Digital Technologies reported strong fiscal fourth-quarter results with revenues at $31.2 million, beating estimates of $27.4 million, driven by both its Bitcoin mining and HPC segments, Brendler said in a note. Gross margin expansion to 28% took non-GAAP gross profits to a higher-than-expected $8.8 million, he added.
Although operating expenses were a little higher than expected and drove down adjusted earnings, "We view these results as confirmation that continued execution on its growth plans should significantly improve profitability," the analyst wrote.
HIVE Digital Technologies has made "significant progress on its growth plans," with the expansion of its mining operations already raising its operational hashrate, which could reach 25 EH/s (exahashes per second) by late November, he added.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/61d4371c30778300016abc55/mike-colonnese">Analyst Mike Colonnese</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $6.00.
HIVE Digital Technologies' shares came under pressure after the fourth-quarter results due to the earnings miss, creating a &#8220;buying opportunity,&#8221; Colonnese said. Investors seem to be undervaluing the company's "rapidly growing" Bitcoin mining operations, he wrote.
HIVE Digital Technologies has reached mining of 11.5 EH/s, representing 83% growth from March's 6.3 EH/s, the analyst stated. Management expects production to reach 25 EH/s by the end of November, he added.
HIVE Price Action: Shares of HIVE Digital Technologies had declined by 0.56% to $1.78 at the time of publication on Friday.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Considering the legal perspective, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, according to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Nevertheless, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
Surveying the realm of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often give prominence to those unfolding in the open market, systematically detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C denotes the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
