The company reported a loss of $2.49 per share, missing Wall Street expectations for a profit of $0.55 per share. Revenue was down 22% YoY to $1.78 billion, but was largely in-line with the Wall Street estimates.
Coinbase’s performance was hurt by the broad weakness in the crypto market, where the prices of Bitcoin and other crypto assets have dropped sharply. The company also recorded a drop in trading volumes during the quarter.
Following Coinbase’s Q4 report, Needham analysts moved to update their views on the stock. They maintained a Buy rating on Coinbase stock but reduced the price target to $230 from $290.
On the negative side, the firm cited weakness in the crypto market, potential adverse impact of the Clarity Act, and the company’s spending plans in challenging market conditions. On the positive side, the firm applauds Coinbase’s revenue diversification efforts, prediction markets rollout, and share repurchases. Needham pointed to growth in derivatives and international markets as positives and said Coinbase could benefit further by moving into tokenization of real‑world assets.
