As Coinbase Global prepares to report its third-quarter earnings, the crypto trading platform is under the microscope. The headline numbers—expected to show notable profit growth from the prior year—are just one aspect analysts and investors will scrutinize. Beyond trading activity, the company’s strategy to diversify its revenue streams and navigate an uncertain regulatory landscape will be pivotal in shaping its long-term outlook. This quarter’s earnings report could provide fresh insights into whether Coinbase’s efforts to reduce its dependence on traditional crypto trading are paying off.
Earnings and Revenue Expectations: Strong Growth Despite Stagnant Trading Volumes
Wall Street expects Coinbase to report earnings per share (EPS) of 45 cents in the third quarter, up from 14 cents per share in the second quarter and a significant improvement from the 1 cent loss per share reported in Q3 of 2023. Revenue is forecasted at $1.26 billion, a significant increase from the $674 million recorded during the same period last year. However, while the revenue increase appears robust, trading volumes—a major driver of Coinbase’s revenue—may have seen declines.
