Marqeta (MQ) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Marqeta, Inc. (MQ - Free Report) will report first-quarter 2022 results on May 11 after the bell. The company posted an earnings beat of 22.2% in the last-reported quarter.

Expectations This Time Around

Marqeta’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have benefited from the addition of new customers as well as growth from existing customers. The company has a customer base that is growing fast and expanding in new geographies.

Marqeta’s ability to provide modern infrastructure, enabling companies to deliver innovative, high-volume card programs at scale, is a key tailwind. New e-commerce experiences like on-demand delivery and buy now, pay later, which evolved amid the pandemic, are expected to be significant contributors to the top line.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Marqeta’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $161 million, indicating nearly 4% growth sequentially.

The consensus mark for the bottom line is pegged at a loss of 9 cents per share compared with a loss of 7 cents in the previous quarter. Ongoing investments in digital banking, and credit, geographic expansion and platform scale, are expected to have negatively impacted the bottom line.
