IRM Stock and Options Trade Setup — Iron Mountain Incorporated
NYSE · Data Management & Physical Storage REIT · Moderate-high options liquidity · Large cap · ~$34B
Iron Mountain is a unique REIT straddling two businesses with very different growth profiles — the legacy physical records storage business (stable, annuity-like, deeply entrenched) and a rapidly scaling data center business (high-growth, AI-driven capex boom beneficiary). The physical records segment has proven remarkably resistant to digitization: regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, legal) must retain paper records for compliance periods ranging 7 to 75 years, and the cost of migration exceeds the cost of continued storage for most customers. This generates ~$4B+ in recurring storage revenue at 75%+ gross margins. The data center business has grown from negligible to ~$600M+ revenue in three years, driven by hyperscaler and enterprise demand for AI training and inference infrastructure. IRM trades at a discount to pure-play data center REITs — a gap that should compress as data center revenues become a larger share of earnings.

IRM Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is IRM a good options trade today?+
Iron Mountain Incorporated (IRM) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 74/100, ranking it top 25%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned bullish (calls / call debit spreads). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is IRM's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
IRM's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 67%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past IRM trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for IRM?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the IRM setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh IRM's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If IRM drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for IRM?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to IRM: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is IRM outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. IRM currently scores 74.
How does IRM compare to other Data Management & Physical Storage REIT setups?+
IRM's sector rank and percentile against other Data Management & Physical Storage REIT tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Data Management & Physical Storage REIT Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
