Crypto Firms' Earnings Reports Set to Reveal Market Performance Amid Volatility
The second quarter earnings of three major crypto firms - Robinhood (HOOD), Coinbase (COIN), and Strategy (MSTR) - will be reported in July. The companies' performance may provide insight into the current state of the crypto market, which has been volatile after a bruising second quarter.
Robinhood, known for its user-friendly interface and commission-free trading, missed expectations in the first quarter with diluted earnings per share of $0.38, falling short of forecasts. Crypto transaction revenue fell 47% year over year to $134 million. The stock lost roughly 6% after that report.
Wall Street now expects a lower print from Robinhood. Zacks consensus puts second-quarter earnings at $0.39 per share, down 7.1% year over year, on revenue of $1.22 billion. This represents a year-over-year increase of 23.6%. Zacks also projects crypto transaction revenue of $83.5 million, down 47.8% year over year.
Coinbase, another major player in the crypto space, enters its report with the widest spread of estimates. Zacks consensus sees earnings of $0.15 per share on $1.31 billion in revenue, down 12.8% year-over-year. In the first quarter, Coinbase posted a $394 million net loss, its second in a row, after a sharp revenue miss.
Strategy, which has been amplifying Bitcoin's moves, continues to sell off its digital assets. Between June 29 and June 30, it sold 1,363 BTC for $80.8 million, at an average price of $59,256 per coin. The stock lost over 30% in the second quarter, twice Bitcoin's 14% decline.
