Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (MARA - Free Report) is slated to report its second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 8, after the closing bell.

The company’s earnings surprise history has not been impressive. Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters and missed twice, delivering an earnings surprise of -14.3%, on average.

Q2 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $41.1 million, indicating more than 40.2% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. The top line is expected to have benefited from the deployment of cryptocurrency miners, which has increased the company’s hash rate.

The consensus mark for the bottom line is pegged at a loss of 18 cents per share. The company incurred earnings of 17 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Operating costs are likely to have weighed on the bottom line in the quarter.
