Coinbase's stock price rose by +7% from $87.68 as of Augto $94.14 as of August 10, 2022, after the company reported its Q2 2022 earnings on August 9, after the market closed. COIN delivered a non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share of -$0.87, which was superior in comparison with the sell-side's consensus net loss projection of -$1.23.ĭespite the fact that COIN was still in losses for the second quarter, its narrower-than-expected loss could have contributed to its positive post-results share price performance. Coinbase's actual Q2 2022 earnings were weak based on a QoQ and YoY comparison as expected, but the company's net loss per share for the recent quarter did beat analysts' expectations. In my late-May article for Coinbase, I had noted that "the cryptocurrency market weakness" might "continue to be a drag on COIN's near-term performance." As such, it is understandable that the analysts were of the opinion that Coinbase will remain loss-making in Q2 2022. It also suggests that the market expected Coinbase's net losses to widen on a QoQ basis as compared to its net loss per share of -$0.12 for Q1 2022. This implies that Wall Street analysts were expecting that COIN will turn loss-making as compared to its positive adjusted EPS of +$6.78 in Q2 2021 in the recent quarter. What Were Coinbase's Expected Earnings?Īccording to Seeking Alpha's financial data, Coinbase's expected normalized earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 was -$1.23. However, revenue diversification and increased adoption of cryptocurrencies by institutions will help to re-rate COIN's valuations in the long run. In the short term, the financial outlook for Coinbase isn't appealing in terms of the expectations for revenue growth and losses. In this article, my attention turns to Coinbase's outlook following its Q2 2022 financial results.Ĭoinbase is rated as a Hold. I touched on COIN's poor year-to-date share price performance in my earlier update for the stock. I have a Hold investment rating assigned to Coinbase Global, Inc.'s ( NASDAQ: COIN) stock.
