Coinbase Global (COIN) to Report Q2 Earnings: What to Expect
Coinbase Global COIN is slated to report second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 3, after the closing bell. COIN delivered an earnings surprise of 110.42% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the announcement.
A strong crypto price cycle, with high prices of many crypto assets, rising volatility, and high interest in crypto across retail and institutional users are likely to have benefited COIN in the second quarter of 2023.
Retail, institutional and ecosystem partners are likely to have grown across all key metrics, including Verified Users, retail Monthly Transacting Users (MTUs), Trading Volume and Assets on Platform.
Subscription and services revenues are likely to have improved on growth in market cap, notably with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices. Coinbase estimates subscription services revenues to be about $300 million in the second quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $643.4 million for the to-be-reported quarter, indicating a decline of 20.4% from the year-ago reported number.
However, increased competition is likely to have been an overhang. COIN estimates technology and development and general and administrative expenses to be $600 million and $650 million in the second quarter. It estimates sales and marketing expenses to be between $80 million and $90 million. The company remains focused on its cost-containment efforts that are likely to have helped deliver improved adjusted EBITDA.
Coinbase expects transaction expenses as a percentage of revenues in the to-be-reported quarter to be in the low to mid-teens.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter is pegged at a loss of 78 cents, wider than the year-ago loss of 58 cents.
