Riot Platforms, Inc. (RIOT): Valuation Snapshot
Riot Platforms, Inc. (RIOT) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong lens for one, so TickerWorth does not publish a DCF fair value for it. What its filings and market data do show is below. Snapshot as of Oct 19, 2026.

How is a bank like RIOT valued?
This is a bank / insurer / financial. A free-cash-flow DCF is structurally the wrong lens here (their debt and float are raw material, not financing), so we don't publish one. Our bank model (justified price-to-book) declined to value it too: return on equity is -48.2% — zero or negative.
The model would extrapolate a loss year into perpetuity, so we don't publish it. The price-to-book and price-to-earnings figures below are context for comparison, not a fair value.

What we can say
Riot Platforms, Inc. (RIOT) is a bank, insurer or other financial, and a free-cash-flow discounted-cash-flow (DCF) model is structurally the wrong lens for it: for these businesses debt and float are raw material, not financing, so there is no meaningful 'free cash flow' to discount. Instead of a misleading intrinsic-value number, this page reads RIOT the way financials are actually valued — on relative multiples such as price-to-earnings and, above all, price-to-book — plus a plain description of where the stock trades. It is a descriptive snapshot, not a valuation, and not investment advice.
Read the full reasoning
On the numbers we do have, RIOT trades at a recent price of $14.30, a market capitalisation of about $5,368,079,360, sitting 15% of the way up its 52-week range ($11.50–$30.32), on the NasdaqCM.
The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing RIOT's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/B of 2.5× (in line with the peer median of 2.6×); P/S of 8.0× (richer than the peer median of 4.7×). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.
The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. RIOT shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 2.47 and book value of $5.80 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.
Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. RIOT is in a mixed trend, trading -52.8% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is -37.7%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
To be exact about what this page is not: we are not saying the numbers for RIOT are unavailable. They are, and they are above. We are saying a discounted-cash-flow model is the wrong instrument for this kind of business, and publishing one anyway — because the inputs happen to exist — would be a precise answer to the wrong question. Refusing is the more useful answer, and it is the same rule we apply to every name in this category.
