HIVE Digital Technologies (TSXV:HIVE) just hit a key inflection point, combining record November Bitcoin output with a fresh Colombian Stock Exchange listing and rapid Paraguay expansion. As a result, the stock now reflects a bigger infrastructure story.

Even with these operational wins, the 1 year total shareholder return of negative 26.1 percent and a 3 year total shareholder return still up over 55 percent show a name where long term believers remain ahead despite recent weak share price momentum.

If HIVE’s volatility has you thinking about diversification, this could be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership for other fast moving ideas backed by committed insiders.

With Bitcoin output surging, AI infrastructure ramping up, and the share price still trailing its gains over the past three years, is HIVE quietly undervalued at this level, or are markets already pricing in the next leg of growth?

On a last close of CA$3.68, HIVE trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 18.5 times, which looks modest beside far richer peer valuations.

The price-to-earnings ratio compares what investors pay per share to the company’s earnings per share and is a core gauge for profitable, cash generative software and infrastructure operators like HIVE. A lower multiple can signal either overlooked earnings power or doubts about how durable those earnings will be as market cycles and business models evolve.

Here, the market is assigning HIVE a price-to-earnings multiple of 18.5 times, comfortably below both the peer group average of 41.5 times and the broader Canadian Software industry average of 49.2 times, yet above the estimated fair price-to-earnings ratio of 5.7 times. That gap suggests investors are paying more than our fair ratio model implies, but still far less than what many comparable software names command, highlighting a tension between cautious fundamentals and relatively cheap positioning against peers.
