A widely-recognized company in the sector, Coinbase Global (COIN - Free Report) , is slated to release Q2 2022 results after the market closes on Tuesday, August 9th.
Although the company has just recently executed its IPO, Coinbase has been a hot topic in the market thanks to being the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange. The quarterly report will undoubtedly be watched like a hawk, as it’ll give us a small gauge on the state of the cryptocurrency market.
How does the crypto titan stack up heading into its quarterly print? Let’s take a closer look.
Share Performance & Valuation
Since the company’s IPO on April 14th, 2021, Coinbase shares have plummeted, losing more than 70% in value and extensively underperforming the general market. Shares broke off near the beginning of 2022.

Over the last month, COIN shares have exploded for a nearly 80% gain, making the S&P 500’s performance appear minuscule.
With a somewhat clearer economic outlook, buyers have finally reappeared in stocks that tend to carry a much higher level of risk, and COIN shares precisely fit those parameters.
Coinbase shares trade at high valuation multiples, typically something seen within high-growth stocks. The company’s 5.2X forward price-to-sales ratio is nicely beneath its median of 6.9X since IPO and represents a 55% discount relative to its Zacks Sector.
Coinbase sports a Style Score of a C for Value.
